Thought I would check out Sebastian's forest over in Gia Lam, for an early morning session. Were some cool birds around. Looks like will be a great holding spot during the migration.

    Hi Wayne,

    Difficult to go birding with your baby other there, isn`t it ? ;) it`s an interesting place, I think we can have good surprises. It`s an old city dump, that`s why... many mosquitoes. Good for flycatchers...

    PS : maybe your Flycatcher-Unidentified (small, plain green wings, no wing bars, two pale stripes across top of head)is a Warbler of the genus Ceicercus.
