Red River Island, Saturday 30 April

A couple of hours in the treed area of the island this morning produced the following birds (and several birds I could not identify such as a fantail –like bird with a bluish head and something like a rufous winged philentoma, but without the whitish belly. I guess that’s why we keep coming back.







  • Bulbul-Black (ssp stresemani)


  • Cuckooshrike-Black winged


  • Drongo-Ashy


  • Drongo-Black


  • Flycatcher-Asian paradise


  • Flycatcher-Hainan blue


  • Kite-Black shouldered


  • Shrike-Brown

  1. Hi Wayne

    In my opinion the fantail–like bird is a female Black-naped Monarch, and the Sibia is not one but a Black-winged Cuckooshrike.
    Happy birding
