Hi all,
Quite some movement at the moment with lots of Phylloscs putting in an apperance (majority being Y-browed and Eastern Crowned) as well as Drongos (Ashy, Spangled).
Other birds of note today,
- 1 Dollarbird
- 2 White-breasted Kingfishers
- 1 Striated Grassbird (addition to the TD bird list!)
- 5 Pale-footed Bush Warblers
- 1 Manchurian Bush Warbler
- 1 Chestnut Bunting
- 2 Collared Scops Owls + 1 Brown Hawk Owl seen well last night (owls generally very active now)
Not bad at all!
Cheers
Falk
Great birds Falk!
ReplyDeleteStriated Grassbird is something I've never seen in VN...

Hi Simon
ReplyDeleteAbout 6 months ago I photographed what I thought was a Rufous Rumped Grassbird, down on the red RR behind my house. (There was no Striated Grassbird in my copy of Robson). Now I have Googled images I am not so sure. Will Email you a copy of the images for confirmation.

Hi Wayne,
ReplyDeleteA Striated Grassbird in Tam Dao is a really good bird - a Rufous-rumped Grassbird would be a MEGA, so to speak. Certainly not impossible, though. Very looking forward to seeing your pics!
Cheers
Falk
