Sun 23 October: Hiding on red River Island

Damn you Sebastian, not only do you see so many more cool birds than I do, but I also took a photo this morning of the Red River boat, to post how I get onto the island. LOL. It is below.

This morning I took my camo-blanket and hid under it for the first time on the island (been talking about it for a long time). A couple of plain Prinias hid in it (till they smelt me) and eventually, when I turned around, there was a lovely Asian Koel just a few metres away. I need to do this more...

The birds I saw:

• Bulbul (Red whiskered & Sooty)
• Coucal (not sure how great it was)
• Cuckoo, Plaintive
• Drongo (Black, Ashy & Hair lipped)
• Eagle, Crested serpent (long way away)
• Falcon (unidentified)???
• Heron, Grey
• Koel, Asian
• Minivet, Ashy
• Monarch, Black naped
• Prinia, Plain
• Stonechat, Siberian
• Wagtail, White
• Warbler, Thick billed
• Warbler, yellow browed
