Last week I went to Ba
Vi for work-related reasons but but I did manage to sneak off and do a bit
of birding in the National Park :)
I got a female
White-throated Rock Thrush, a White's Thrush, a flock of 17 Red-billed
Blue Magpies, a couple of Grey Treepies, a Ashy Bulbul, a female Fork-tailed
Sunbird, lots of Scarlet-backed Flowerpeckers (and one good opportunity of photo
missed arghh.....), a Red-flanked Bluetail...
The day after, in a
rural cultivate area in Thanh Tri district (near Cong Bang pagoda, Hanoi), only
a Wryneck and a Siberian Stonechat played ball for the camera.

Belles photos Sebastien! En particulier Red-flanked Bluetail et le petit dernier, le tarier de Sibérie, très beau. Ca donne envie d'aller faire un tour à Ba Vi. /JD
ReplyDeleteJD,
ReplyDeleteThese photos are not mines, but from Le Viet Tuan Hoang, a Vietnamese photographer!
Yes, the Red-flanked Bluetail is a nice bird but you can also find it at Hanoi, it is a common winter visitor there. But mostly the brownish females, very few males I don’t know why...
