Birding In Bangkok. Founded by Bernie and Arpha as they both became serious in bird photography Bernie has already been an artist and have painted birds for major exhibitions in Bangkok while Arpha showed her works in bird photography at the same exhibitions. Hello Im north of Chiang Mai and yesterday there was a very large bird bending the bows of a tree at least 90cm from head to tip of a long straight tail a very large curved beak and the distinctive red skin on the head Looking at your Gallery the only similar bird is the Pheasant Any Ideas By the time I got my camera it was too far away.
Between December and March there are a number of large raptors in the area including Greater Spotted Eagle Steppe Eagle and Pied Harrier. Sri Nakorn Kuen Khan Suan Luang Suan Lumphini and Suan Luang are all parks that within striking distance of Bangkoks city centre. Coppersmith Barbet Indian Roller Pied Fantail Olive-backed Sunbird Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker and Oriental Magpie Robin are all abundant.
