Hanoi - Island of the Red River - a Hwamei whistles "Sweet Liberty"


Xin chao cac ban thich xem chim !


Short photo stroll to the island of the Red River, Hanoi, more precisely the small open "forest" in the middle.

First time I see a Hwamei outside a cage yeahh
But probably an escaped bird hu huu....
What do you think ?

Some other species there include a pair of Black-Shouldered Kites and 3 Cinnamon Bitterns in the fallow land around, flying out from dense - and dry - vegetation within a couple of metres. Some very shy Lesser Coucals added - basic - music and colour to this noon stroll.

  1. Hi, earlier this year I saw a flock of 5 Hwmeis on Red River Island, at the northern tip. That same day I also saw 4 Red-breasted Parakeets. I guess all escapees...
