An endemic race of the Green-tailed Sunbird completely confined to the summit of Doi Inthanon.

The Green-tailed Sunbird’s species name is technically accurate, but the male’s bright greenish-blue head is much more noticeable than his tail. Also note his red upper back and bright yellow underparts. The female is olive-yellow with paler underparts and a greyish head. Note the lack of a strongly contrasting pale rump patch as compared to female Mrs. Gould’s Sunbird. The Green-tailed inhabits montane and hill forests and forest edge.

This common tit is large & pugnacious and found in a wide range of wooded habitats, from dense hill forests to manicured city parks. Found throughout much of East Asia, this species is closely-related to the more brightly-colored Great Tit, from which it was split as a distinct species.

The Hawfinch is a unique, chunky finch sporting a massive bill (steely gray in summer, pinkish in winter), blue-gray hindneck, like a shawl on an orangey head. Despite its distinctive appearance, it is shy and easily overlooked. It favours mixed & deciduous mature woodland, especially with beech, oak, & hornbeam, where it tends to feed and perch quietly, high in the canopy. It also feeds on the ground in autumn and winter, sometimes forming single-species flocks.

This is a greenish medium-sized woodpecker with bright red wings, crown & a striking yellow crest, cream-speckled sides, and pale blue-gray “spectacles”. It inhabits both primary & secondary forests, from lowlands into lower montane areas, as well as plantations & logged tracts favouring areas with scattered and isolated tall trees. It forages on trunks and large branches in the upper story, often in distanced pairs or mixed flocks.

A dull but rather cute flycatcher, with large white-framed eyes. It is dark brown above & white below with a gray head, brown flanks, and two distinct dark “moustache” lines. It exhibits typical flycatcher behaviour, swooping out from a perch in the middle to lower levels of forest.

One of my first flowerpeckers - the male is brightly-coloured & the female is predominantly brown. This is a lowland species, often found in gardens with flowering and fruiting plants, particularly mistletoe. Often detected through its metallic ticking calls.

A tiny and unbelievably cute kingfisher: a luminous ball of pink, orange, yellow, and varying amounts of blue and purple. A brightly-coloured back distinguishes this species from the closely related Black-backed Dwarf-Kingfisher. It forages in shaded patches of dense vegetation, in mangroves, overgrown edge, or deep lowland and foothill forest. It is often near shallow forest streams and small pools.
