Back for lunch
and a stroll around a village garden with some flowering cherry trees.

Long-tailed Shrike
On another side of the mountain and much higher again: Mrs Gould's Sunbird
There were more cherry trees blossoming a little early in the season at a place called the Orchid Station. From here we could see the summit of Doi Inthanon and I estimate the elevation at something like 2200m. Several of these colorful male sunbirds were frequenting the trees.
Female sunbirds are mostly dull green and sometimes hard to identify as a first-time visiting birder
On the way down we saw the Streaked Spiderhunter, who's call we'd heard at various locations.
The very long bill and clear markings make this bird a spectacular sight.
White Wagtail
