Chicks of a Waterhen

นกกวัก 白胸苦恶
After a rain, many birds would come out to feed on the ground, with ripen fruits and earth-worms scattered around. Like yesterday in Phutthamonthon when a White-breasted Waterhen was spotted with its two chicks.

Friends of different species

Bird's island, an islet in Phutthamonthon where birds took as their home, many of them are those loving to feed on fish. An international community where kinds of birds live together in harmony, like the Little Cormorant and the Black-crowned Night-Heron.

Common Iora

นกขมิ้นน้อยธรรมดา เป็นชื่อตามตำราดูนก คนไทยเราเรียกกันทั่วไปว่า นกขมิ้น
Saying goodbye to the Cormorants. A Common Iora was waiting patiently to be photographed. What a wonderful world!

Little Cormorant

นกกาน้ำเล็ก (Nk kān̂ả lĕk) 黑颈鸬鹚
Phutthamonthon this afternoon surprised me with a swarm of Little Cormorants (Pygmy Cormorant, Javanese Cormorant). The bird with brown head and neck is a juvenile.

Collared Kingfisher

นกกินเปี้ยว (Nk kinpeī̂yw) 白领翠鸟
Today the cloudy weather lure a Collared Kingfisher  juvenile into Phutthamonthon. Normally the bird loves to stay by seaside to feed on crabs. The bird's name in Thai literally means crab-eating bird.

Black-crowned Night Heron

Rainy season begins. A swarm of Black-crowned Night Herons perching on a bush to dry themselves after a brief raining in Phutthamonthon. Two long plumes on nape shown in breeding plumage.
