  3. Vietnamese Greenfinch

    Vietnamese Greenfinch

    A Vietnamese Greenfinch perching on a line in Lam Dong, Vietnam. As the name suggests, it's an endemic species that can be found only in the Da Lat Plateau of southern Vietnam. It's a lifer for me too!

    White-rumped munia

    I'd say this species is among the cuttest I've encountered. Something about the connical beak, the innocent eyes, and the texture pattern just makes it so lovable.

    Coppersmith Barbet

    I guess it was trying to carve a nest out of this tree. It seemed quite diligent and wasn't bothered by my presence. I notice these barbets usually perch high up so it was a treat to see one came so close to the ground.

    What species of Flycatcher was it? - Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam

    I captured it at Gia Dinh park in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam several days ago. eBird data shows only 3 types of flycatchers ( Asian Brown, Taiga, Grey-Headed Canary) were ever present in this park. However, as far as i'm aware, none of those have light blue back like this one.

    Sandpiper? - Vung Tau, Vietnam - Oct 24

    I stumbled upon this bold guy landing on a rock very close to the shore. I wasn't carrying my 7D II at the time so I had to zoom all the way in with crappy iPhone camera, hence the poor image quality. I guess it was a sandpiper species but I'm not sure. Please help me identify it, thank you.

    White-throated Kingfisher rescue - Khanh Hoa, Vietnam ( Warning: wall of text ahead!)

    A seemingly normal bird photography day has turned into one of the most memorable moments of my life. On the morning of October 29th. I was at a foothill forest in Khanh Hoa, Vietnam, setting up my position for a shot of the Asian green bee-eaters when, an unsettling sight caught my attention...

    Whiskered tern in flight

    Is it flying though? The strong headwind introduced significant drag and made the bird appeared frozen mid-air, allowing me to take shots like this.

    Are these brown-throated sunbirds? - Vietnam

    I captured these three sunbirds at different places and times. I believe they are all female brown-throated sunbirds, but their eyes seem to be black, not red as seen in other photos of the species. Please help me identify them correctly. Thank you.
