Grey-headed Lapwing

New Year's day afternoon I spent a couple of hours wandering around rice paddies and scrub near Chiang Dao Town, all the usual species were recorded, best was a big flock of 43 Grey-headed Lapwing  on flooded paddies. Other noteworthy species were Wyrneck, 8 Pintail and 4 Common Snipe, 2 Green Sandpiper, Rufous-winged Buzzard, 6 Wire-tailed Swallow, Siberian Rubythroat, 30 Chestnut-tailed Starling, 4 Richard's Pipit, 8 Eastern Yellow Wagtail  and a single Citrine Wagtail.
