I make no excuses for having become a basket case; all down to having a mind blowing trip where birds are taking second stage to other aspects of le joi d'vivre.
I'm still in a state of indeciveness regarding some birds that I got good views of but I also clarified a couple of others.
Friday I nailed a superb Brahminy Kite and also a flock of c60 Scaly-breasted Munia. A Black-crowned Night Heron gave good views and the Collared Kingfisher is now a regular performer. Thow in a couple of Magpie Robin for good measure 😆.
Leaving the hotel at beer o'clock I was overjoyed to get a pr of White-vented Myna and earlier I was able to confirm Yellow-vented Bulbul.
Today Saturday I had a fabulous boat trip out that brought minimal aviformes, so much so that in 5 hours out at sea not a single Gull or Tern was seen! 😱
I got distant views of a Sanderling wader type that will be labelled "sod it" and reasonable if brief views of one of the 2 Sea Eagle species that are found here. The Brahminy Kite that was performing either escort or watchdog duty was acceptable compensation
A Collared Kingfisher showed up and 3/4 undetermined Egret species were at distance. A modicum of Asian Palm Swift reiterated I'm still getting some tasty birds, well most of the time 😊
