Vachirabenjatas & Queen Sirikit Park

13.80908 , 100.55255

Thailand

These two parks, adjacent one to the other, are great city lungs where people go to exercise. There are about 30 resident species year around but the parks serve as a magnet for passage migrant birds and many many forest birds have shown here.

It is a place for local photographers  and sometimes when something special shows up it can be quite crowded.

There are a lot of people employed to keep the park neat. Sometimes a bit too neat for wildlife but there are pockets of growth where some of the more skuly species can be found.

Here are some of the common resident birds: Indochinese Roller, Large-billed Crow, Common Myna, Great Myna, Coppersmith Barbet, Streak-eared Bulbul, Olive-backed Sunbird, Malyasian Pied Fantail, Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker, Spotted Owlet, Asian Barred Owlet, Stork-billed Kingfisher, Striated Heron, Cattle Egret, Magpie Robin, Scaly-breasted Munia, Black-collared Starling, Siamese Pied Starling, White-breasted Kingfisher.

Some common winter visitor: Taiga Flycatcher, Asian Brown Flycatcher, Ashy Drongo, Black-naped Monarch, Gray-headed Canary Flycatcher, Yellow-browed Warbler, Brown Shrike, Black-naped Orioles, Sakhalin's Leaf Warbler.

Some rarer passage migrants: Blue-winged and Fairy Pitta, Black-backed Kingfisher, Ruddy Kingfisher, Hodgson's Hawk Cuckoo, Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher, Yellow-rumped Flycatcher, Ferruginous Flycatcher, Chestnut-winged Cuckoo, Malayan Night Heron, Large-billed Blue Flycatcher, Chinese Blue Flycatcher, White-throated Rock-Thrush, Narcissus Flycatcher, Two-barred Warbler, Arctic Warbler Eye-browed Thrush.
