It is supposed to be common, found in the Mango trees in many parks, villages and gardens .... yet this is the first time I have clapped eyes on The Mango Baron. And I even got the ID wrong. I thought it was The White-Tipped Baron, which is found at nearby Phu Wiang NP. Still, even though it looks a little dull from afar, on closer inspection, it really is rather beautiful.
