Day two, and a morning's birding at Bang Poo - a reserve on the coast just south-east of Bangkok - comprising mangrove, lagoons, scrub and mudflats (as well as productive nearby rice-paddies and unkempt agricultural land).
Whiskered Tern

Of the former, Eastern Black-tailed Godwits and Oriental Pratincoles were the highlights, while of the latter, an Asian Paradise Flycatcher, the local, black-headed subspecies of Long-tailed Shrike, Golden-bellied Gerygones and two Eastern Crowned Warblers were all welcome new additions. Larger waterbirds, meanwhile, included plenty of Painted Storks and an Oriental Darter.
