Birdwatching in Northern Thailand (21-23 February, 2017)

Short but very productive trip.  Highlights were Mrs. Hume's Pheasant, Hodgson's Frogmouth, Oriental Hobby, Firethroat and Grey-headed Parrotbill, though I wasn't able to photograph the last one.

Less laughingthrushes and warblers comparing to the last trip.

Birdwatching in Saitama, Japan (12 February, 2017)

I have never seen the beautiful male Pallas's Rosefinch for ten years.  Although he visited only once for ten minutes, I enjoyed to photograph him very much.
