Bird spotting from our terrace in Thitaw Lay House

​

See below for our regularly updated observations (date and time, English and scientific name, pic source). 

​

Most pictures are simply googled or found through  Our plan for 2016-17 is to steadily replace the internet pictures by our own material (smartphone pics through the Celestron scope).

​

Clicking on the picture will lead you to a narrative on the bird, mostly found on Wikipedia. 

We will be very grateful for any text contribution, correction or mentioning of a copyright issue.
