Bornean Black-capped, Grey-hooded & Bold-striped Tit Babblers, & Bornean Black Magpie are #Borneo specialties formerly considered parts of widespread Sundaic species conspecific w/ #birds in Thai-Malay Peninsula & Sumatra. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birdphotography #birding #birdwatching #taxonomy #Malaysia

Diard's Trogon ♂ of nominate subspecies #endemic to #Borneo is much more reddish-crowned than #birds in Thai-Malay Peninsula & Sumatra. This plump bird effortlessly caught a stick insect in front of me at #Sepilok. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birding #birdwatching #naturebeauty #insectivore #birdphotography

Mekong Wagtail, Great Thick-knee, Small Pratincole & Wire-tailed Swallow from #UbonRatchathani last week. Breeding successes of these #birds have decreased through nest flooding as a result of unnatural water level controlled by the many upriver dams. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birding #birdwatching #nature

Scaly-crowned Babbler (distinctive race 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦), Cambodian Striped Tree Squirrel, Cardamom Mountains Pricklenape & Line-spotted Forest Skink are among Indochinese specialties from my latest trip in #UbonRatchathani #wildlifephotography #naturebeauty #squirrel #lizard #skink #animalphotography

#Sunbirds are largely #nectarivores, but they certainly are ferocious arthropod hunters especially during nesting Van Hasselt's Sunbird ♂, Crimson Sunbird ♀ & Red-throated Sunbird ♀ from my trip to #Sabah last month #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #naturebeauty #songbirds

Some #BirdsSeenIn2026 from #Bangkok suburbs lately - Indian Pond Heron (w/ Javan being the background bird in the 2nd pic), a scarce nonbreeding visitor for #Thailand - Square-tailed Drongo Cuckoo, a very late northbound migrant - Small Minivet, common in Bangkok but tricky on default tour itinerary
