Early afternoon we had a few hours to kill whilst waiting for friends to arrive from the UK and Australia, so we headed to Bangpoo south east of Bangkok for a bite to eat and a bit of birding. As usual there was many
Brown-headed Gull's waiting to be fed alongside the pier, along with good numbers of
Whiskered Terns.
