10,000 Birds

Birding Tan Phu Forest, Vietnam (Part 2)

10,000 Birds

In this second post on the birds of Tan Phu Forest, let’s get the bulbuls out of the way first. Three seem to be particularly common here. The Ochraceous Bulbul looks similar to the Puff-throated Bulbul, with which it shares a genus – the similarity made one of my travel companions doubt the whole framework of species distinctions. Even for a bulbul, it is a “bulky, very noisy, conspicuous” bird (HBW).

10,000 Birds

We are fast approaching what is, for me, one of the most poignant times of the year. It’s when I step outside my back door, look up, and fail to spot the black scimitar shape of a Swift, coursing across the sky. The departure of the Swifts marks the decline of summer just as markedly as the arrival of the first Cuckoo ushers in the spring. I usually see my first Swift of the year towards the end of April: this year it was on the 29th, while in 2023 it was two days earlier.
