And the bush has friends to meet him, and their kindly voices greet him, In the murmur of the breezes and the river on its bars,
And he sees the vision splendid of the sunlit plains extended, And at night the wonderous glory of the everlasting stars.

Banjo Paterson (1889)

Greater Necklaced Laughingthrush

This is video of a group of Greater Necklaced Laughingthrushes feeding at Baan Song Nok in Thailand. They can be identified by the silvery streaked ear coverts encircled by a black band. A Lesser Necklaced Laughingthrush, which is pale and has none of the ear covert markings, jumps up on a branch as the video title fades away.








The Greater Necklaced Laughingthrush (Garrulax pectoralis) is a species of bird in the Timaliidae family.
It is found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand and Vietnam. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.

The passing of the food source is well captured. The background bird song without any distractions is greatly appreciated.
