Bird spotting outside our garden
See below for our regularly updated observations (date and time, English and scientific name, pic source). Birds are spotted elsewhere in Kalaw area (our lake area, Myint Ka, the forests around Thitaw Lay House) or elsewhere in Myanmar.
Most pictures are simply googled or found through http://avibase.bsc-eoc.org/. Our plan for 2016-17 is to steadily replace the internet pictures by our own material (smartphone pics through the Celestron scope).
We will be very grateful for any text contribution, correction or mentioning of a copyright issue.
