A Javan Myna, but seen in Bangkok, #Thailand. They seem to be found all over Southeast Asia and are apparently invasive. #birds #nature #myna #birdphotography #birdwatching #birding @birdwatching.bsky.social

Chestnut-breasted Malkoha, a beautiful mid-sized bird that is difficult to photograph as it's always in the foliage of the mid-high canopy.

The Nicobar Pigeon, one of the most beautiful pigeons in the world. I saw this in one of the parks at Andaman Island 2 weeks back when I was birding there.

Lifer for me, a House Sparrow was seen at Andaman Island while walking at the Cellular Jail. In Malaysia, we only get the EurasianTree Sparrow by the thousands but not the House Sparrow. Big tick in my world bird list, and this was a smartphone photo.

Dollarbird, seen in Malaysia. Until today, I'm still trying to understand the name given to this beautiful bird.
