Stijn De Win sent me this photo he captured of a Eurasian Thick-Knee taken at Puttamontol Park in east Bangkok on the Thonburi side. This park is becoming the new Thai birdwatching hot spot!

I know plenty of people who go tearing through Thailand and Laos looking for this thing and it shows up in a public park. -Completely unbelievable.

This park is already in the limelight as the place where Thailand’s first and only record of Fairy Pitta was seen, and also produced good sightings of other pleasant birds such as Narcissus Flycatchers and Hooded Pitta.

Its sad I won’t be able to go and see it, bit to all of you who got to get the tick, cheers and well done.
