Botanical gardens 10/09/10

A good morning in the botanical gardens with one each of Green-backed Flycatcher, Yellow-rumped Flycatcher, Yellow-streaked Warbler, Arctic Warbler and the good old Tiger Shrike still lurking in the magic corner.

Simon


Edit: Went there just after Simon, but did not find the Green-backed any more. Instead: 3 Shrikes (2 brown, 1 not seen well) and Hill Blue Fly. Around the pond near the motorbike parking: 2 Arctic Warbler, one Ceicercus very much like the one Seb saw, 1 more Phyllos and a female Yellow-rumped Fly. Florian

Went there probably after Florian (very busy the mozzy corner these days !). Seen 3 Ceicercus Warbler - same style than the ones before - : 1 near the magical corner, and 2 together around the huge banian at the eastern part of the park. Didn't find the Green-backed Flycatcher too. But I will come back soon ! Sebastien.

Botanical gardens 6/09/10

Lunch time wander round the magic corner of the botanical gardens yielded a smart Forest Wagtail as well as a brief shrike sp. (Brown or Tiger) and an Arctic Warbler.

The starlings are still hanging out near Truch Bach, in case anyone still cares.

First migrant of the autumn

One Barn Swallow west over Nghi Tam, Hanoi at 1pm today is the first autumn migrant I've seen this year.

However, one swallow doesn't make an autumn...
