It was a pleasant morning with a nice breeze & beautiful diffused light. We were photographing the Ultramarine Flycatcher when I noticed a small warbler foraging in a mimosa tree in the background. I took a few photos and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was a Tickell’s/Alpine Leaf Warbler, a very rare bird in Thailand! These are some of the photos of the rare Tickell’s Leaf Warbler I took that morning on the slopes of Doi AngKhang.

The Olive-backed is a small pipit with a greenish-brown back and heavily streaked breast & belly that is often seen in loose flocks or in pairs. Note the distinctive facial pattern: broad pale lines surrounding the eye and a dark ear patch. It prefers more forested areas than other pipits, though will also forage in fields and scrubby edges.

The White-gorgeted is a tiny brown flycatcher with a triangular white bib bordered with black. It has a gray head, a frosty white brow, and ruddy wings & tail which are not as eye-catching as the throat patch, but just as distinctive. It is unobtrusive & retiring, generally keeping to the dense lower levels of foothill forests. It frequently forages in inaccessible gorges and thick stream side vegetation. Usually seen singly, occasionally in pairs.

The grey-backed shrike (Lanius tephronotus) is a species of bird in the family Laniidae. It is found in Bangladesh, India (Uttarakhand), Nepal, Bhutan, China and Yunnan.

Among the shrikes, they breed at the highest altitude. They are partial migrants, with some populations moving south in winter. They breed in summer from late May to early July. The nest is built in a bush and about 3 to 5 eggs are laid. The eggs are incubated by the female alone and incubation is begun even before the complete clutch is laid. The chicks hatch after 15–18 days and are taken care of by both the parents until the fledge after about two weeks.

The Oriental white-eye (Zosterops palpebrosus) is a small passerine bird with yellowish olive upper parts, a white eye ring, yellow throat and vent in the white-eye family. It is a resident breeder in open woodland in tropical Asia, east from the Indian subcontinent to Southeast Asia, extending to Indonesia and Malaysia. Foraging in small groups, they feed on nectar and small insects. They are easily identified by the distinctive white eye-ring and overall yellowish upperparts. Several populations of this widespread species are named subspecies and some have distinctive variations in the extent and shades of yellows in their plumage.
