The view from the observation tower in the central Thailand town of Nakhon Sawan

Bronze-winged Jacana has a colourful appearance in adult plumage; juveniles are overall brownish yet still eye-catching. Here an adult is getting airborne, with its long toes dangling. (The toes help these birds walk on the floating vegetation of their wetland habitats.) This bird was at the Bueng Boraphet Non-hunting Area, Nakhon Sawan province, Thailand.

Little Grebe could be considered the Old World equivalent of Least Grebe (T. dominicus), as it is in the same genus and is of similar size. Little Grebe is found widely in Europe, Africa, and Asia, whereas Least Grebe is primarily distributed in South and Central America. The individual in this photo is a nonbreeding bird, with brownish plumage — breeding birds have a chestnut area on the side of the head and the neck. A close look at this image shows the yellow patch at the base of the bill. The scene was the Bueng Boraphet wetlands in Nakhon Sawan province, Thailand.

We only saw Yellow Bittern once on our Thailand trip, but had great views of this small species thanks to being in a boat exploring the wetlands of the Bueng Boraphet Non-hunting Area in Nakhon Sawan province.

Zitting Cisticola sounds like an odd name — it has to do with its vocalizations…and there are so many species of Cisticola with such names (Whistling, Siffling, Croaking, Trilling, Rattling, for some African examples) that it seems like they were running out. Zitting Cisticola is one of the few species (of about 50 with that common name) that is found outside Africa. This individual, with a white feather standing out-of-the-ordinary, was seen during a boat trip at the Bueng Boraphet Non-hunting Area, Nakhon Sawan province, Thailand.
