Hi all,Seen again, but this time at the Reunification Park (ex-Lenin Park), 1 Ceicercus Warbler. And again the same question : what's your name ? Frustrating...
This bird was easy to find, to approach and to shoot, moving in low vegetation, silently. If you are interesting : eastern gate of the park - street Nguyen Dinh Chieu -, you walk 50m, turn left, 100m more. There are public toilets, it's here !
In our moozy-corner of the Botanical Garden, brief view of 1 Cyornis Flycatcher male high in the branches (Hainan Blue or White-Tailed).

Hi Falk,
ReplyDeleteI have read your comment already but I have deleted it with all my post when trying to erase one photo. A little bit angry because this comment was interesting, so please write it again if you have time.
In fact, this bird had no wing-bar. I was very attentive to this detail and the 5-6 good shots I got confirm what I have seen with the binoculars. Maybe the last solution is the DNA analysis !

In my limited experience Grey-crowned prefers to skulk in low vegetation, and I agree that this bird has no wing-bar. So I would certainly lean towards Grey-crowned.

Ok, no problem. I thought (actually more a feeling!) this bird could be a Bianchi's Warbler. On the first pic I saw the bird seemed to have a slight wing bar but apparently it hasn't. Still the very light outer primaries and the diffus-looking bordering between grey cap and greenish cheeks remind me of the Bianchi's I've seen. Maybe I'm completely wrong on this.
ReplyDeleteI found Bianchi's skulking too but could well be less a skulker than Grey-crowned. Khong biet.
Cheers

P.S. Is White-tailed Flycatcher a migrant?
