Hi guys,

some short news from other botanical gardens than the hanoians.
A quick morning walk (1,5h) produced 38 species.

Birds of note included:

1 Shikra catching a snake, 2 Crested Goshawks displaying, 2 or more Blue-throated Bee-eaters, about 15 Thick-billed Green Pigeons, 2 Brown Shrikes, 3 Yellow-rumped Flycatchers, 2 Asian Brown Flycatchers, 2 White-tailed Leaf Warblers, 4 Arctic Warblers, 8 White-winged Magpies, mixed flocks of Ratched-tailed Treepies, Ashy Drongos, Crow-billed Drongos, Bronzed Drongos and Greater Racket-tailed Drongos.

1 Small Asian Mongoose was crossing the path.

Cheers,
Falk


Almost forgot, here comes the pic of the poor Black-capped Kingfisher found in Bong (!).
