Bangpoo

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.

Despite the area around the mangroves and pools being closed due to repairs, we climbed through a hole in the fence, good numbers of waders were roosting on the pools, with around 1200 Black-tailed Godwit, 33 Marsh Sandpiper, 50 Black-winged Stilt, 25 Common Redshank, 13 Greenshank, 9 Pacific Golden Plover and 8 Wood Sandpiper. Other species present included three Painted Stork, two Bhraminy Kite, several Golden-bellied Gerygone and Eastern Yellow Wagtail.
