Small Niltava

Finding and photographing the Small Niltava (Niltava macgrigoriae) on Doi Ang Khang in Northern Thailand is a pursuit defined by patience and reward. This tiny, shy flycatcher, a true "jewel of the hills", requiring one to slow down, blend into the montane forest, and await that fleeting moment when its brilliant blue plumage catches a stray beam of sunlight. The experience is one of quiet anticipation, culminating in the thrill of capturing the essence of this elusive bird.

Streaked Wren-Babbler

The Streaked Wren-Babbler (Gypsophila brevicaudata) is a small, shy, and elusive brown bird commonly found in the dense forests of South and Southeast Asia. It is particularly known for its furtive, mouse-like movements as it skulks through thick undergrowth, making it a challenge to spot in its natural habitat.

Yellow-bellied Flowerpecker

It is a snappy-looking bird whose male is black with a white throat and yellow belly. Two black patches on either side of the chest give him a “vested” appearance. The female is soft brown above with a darker tail and wingtips, and a pale-yellow belly which blends gradually into the breast. They are found from the lower foothills up into montane areas, where it inhabits open areas with tall growth, particularly edges and clearings.
