This must be one of the very "tough" birding trip I ever had! Not that the journey is tough but to id the birds that I saw really not an easy job. Most of the birds' id below are based on my best judgement, hope I got the id right.
The very first bird that we saw was a very familiar Little Cormorant (
Phalacrocorax niger)
There are lots of pole and pillar from the kelong (fishing farm) along the way, that make birding so much easier. I have not been able to get so close to this Lesser Crested Tern (
Thalasseus bengalensis) before.
So as this Greater Crested Tern (
Thalasseus bergii).
This is my first time seeing a Arctic Tern (
Sterna paradisaea).
Whiskered Tern (
Chlidonias hybrida) just landed on one of the pole.
A very smart Common Tern (
Sterna hirundo) riding on a shoe sole!!
I seen this Brown-headed Gull (
Chroicocephalus brunnicephalus) yesterday at
Bang Pu too.
Another close look at Brown-headed Gull (
Chroicocephalus brunnicephalus)
Since this is a birding trip, seeing these dolphin is a bonus!
Not just dolphin, I have dpouble bonus! Is a pair of Bryde's whale!
Heuglin's Gull (Larus heuglinii) - saw it at Bang Pu too.
This looks like a Heuglin's Hull but bigger in size. I can only guess this is a Mongolian Gull (
Larus mongolicus) anyone can confirm?
Little egret are waiting for easy meal at the floating fish farm.
A Gret egret with grey heron & brown-headed gull at the background.
This is one of the place that you can take lots of hunting shot! This Brown Headed Gull caught a fish but dropped it at the end as the fish is just too big perhaps.
This is the trail of my trip after export my GPS log into Google Earth.
