Pied Myna

Pied Myna Gracupica contra, also known as Asian Pied Starling, is found in open areas near water, cultivations and towns. There were a few birds of this species in the park. Not especially attractive from a distance, this close-up shows how incredibly beautiful this bird is in good light.

See Suan Rot Fai for further details of this good birding and general wildlife location. It is a hidden gem close to the chaos and confusion of Chatuchak Market.
