       A female Asian fairy-bluebird (Irena puella) feeding on  Ellipanthus tomentosus fruit. This is one of Thailand's most common forest birds at higher elevations of rainforest.

       Blue-eared barbets (Megalaima australis) serching for ripe figs after rain bout.

       Buff-vented bulbuls (Lole olivacea) on figs at Bang Pae sub-station. They come very close to a temporary photo blind that is set up in this tree at the canopy level. (B1120, B1125 @Suwit Punnadee)



    B1130B1135
       Chestnut-breasted malkoha (Phaenicophaeus curvirostris) behind some Wide grape (Tetrastigma sp) leaves, and a pair of Common iora (Aegithina tiphia) foraging in Wattle (Acacia auriculiformis) tree.
