Another day in Bangkok and again we spent several hours wandering in the fantastic parks south of Sukhumvit Road. Two Pond Sliders were in one of the ponds and dragonflies included Oriental Blue Dasher and Rufous Marsh Glider. Birds included singing Golden Oriole, nest-building Great Myna plus Paintive Cuckoo, Yellow-vented Bulbul and Large-billed Crow.

Back in Bangcock, I spent the middle of the day walking around Branchakitti Park. The small ponds there were alive with life including Ditch Jewel dragonflies and Common Parasol damselflies. The trees nearby held at least one Painted Jezebel butterfly. Birds included Oriental Magpie Robin, Common Myna and Black-collared Starling. No Water Monitors were encountered.
