I spent a week or so in Thailand. This trip was very special to me. I went on two birdwatching trips with Aj Kamol Komolphalin and lovely birdwatching friends of mine. More than ten years have passed since I first joined Aj Kamol's birdwatching tour and was so impressed by him as a bird leader and as an artist. This time I could sketch birds all the time next to him! Slowly, I am getting a little bit closer to him.
Red-beareded Bee-eater （ムネアカハチクイ）
Dark-sided Flycatcher （サメビタキ）
I was drawing this and missed the great hornbill. But these days I prefer to observe a bird long enough to draw than to have a brief look at a rare bird. So I pretended that I didn't mind... 
Flavescent Bulbul was bathing with morning dew on a fern. （カオジロヒヨドリ）
Vernal Hanging Parrot （ミドリサトウチョウ）
日本で見られる鳥を海外で見られると、急にその国に親近感が湧きます。
ReplyDeleteタイもいつか行ってみたいです。
ヒヨ吉さん、
ReplyDeleteそうですよね。カラフルな、全く違う形をした鳥におどろきつつ、日本と同じ鳥を見て、ここにもいるんだと感動するのが海外バードウォッチングですね。
