.... er ... well, it is kind of! Though The Chocolate Albatross is a common species for Thailand, it isn't that common where I hunt for butts and  each time I do see it, it annoyingly always sits on top of the trees soaking up the morning sun. This is the only shot I have of it so far which was obviously dead. Hopefully that will change very soon. Watch this space.

Sometimes the early bird really does catch the worm ... or in this case, The Yellow Glassy Tiger. Spotted roosting at first light. Subsequent sightings were all spotted high in the air and out of shot.
