An extra photo for today. This Oriental Pied Hornbill flew past us at just 2 meter distance or so. I absolutely adore this amazing looking bird. After earlier having seen multiple hornbills in the Kaeng Krachan National Park this one was an easy find in the Khao Yai NP. #birds #khaoyai #thailand🇹🇭

I saw this black-naped monarch a month ago in the Kaeng Krachan National Park in Thailand. The nest was built just a meter or two from the side of the sand road. It was just there in plain sight. What a beautiful bird. #birds #Thailand

Sometimes you have these moments that make you really happy. This was one of them. How cute is this!? While waiting to find another bird, these three Great Crested Grebes showed up. Two adults and a little one on the back of the parent. #birds #Oostvaardersplassen

Javan Pond Heron at the Bang Pu Recreation Center near Bangkok, Thailand. #birds #Thailand

Very difficult to see and cropped a lot on the photos but finally I did find the Baikal Teal. The Baikal Teal is extremely rare in this part of the world (Oostvaardersplassen, the Netherlands). During the week there had been many reports from other birders. But this morning I finally found it.
