    Hill Partridge at northwest mountain of Vietnam

    There are a few who choose the route of trekking up to the Fansipan mountain summit for this species. Others opt for the less strenuous route by using the cable car up and down the 3,147 meters. However, only those hiking along the trail have more chances to witness other colorful, talkative...

    A Freckle-breasted woodpecker eating some kind of grub i guess. It's a lifer for me, but sadly I couldn't see it pecking since the food was right there in the open.

    A Sooty-headed bulbul feeding on the seeds of a Melastoma malabathricum tree in the mountainous Khanh Le pass, Khanh Hoa, Vietnam. It seemed to have some difficulty cracking the thing at first but was eventually able to taste the fruit of its labor.

    Someone's barking up the wrong tree

    Of all the trees in this park, this innocent Red-breasted parakeet decided to land on this open tree where a busy Ashy Drongo was perching patiently waiting for the next aerial sally towards the dragonfly swarm below. One of them's gonna have to leave, and it ain't gonna be the Drongo.

    Peach blossoms season, featuring an Indian White-eye

    It's spring time here in Vietnam, where these colorful flowers blossom, especially in the more temperate and cold regions of the country such as Da Lat. This has attracted many tourists and, unsuprisingly, birds like these Indian White-eyes that came to feed on the nectar.

    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!

    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.
