Another shot of a different group of the fabulous Masked Laughingthrushes. This was taken in Shenzheng China which we visited for 2 days. Great birding there. #birds #birding #birdphotography #birdsseenin2026 #naturephotography

@robcrank68.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay #Pairs Here is a pair of #blue #crowned #laughingthrushes foraging for food on the ground. #Birds #Photography #ECK #EastCoastKin #MarwellZoo
Blue-crowned Laughingthrushes (Pterorhinus courtoisi) are Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List with a decreasing population trend, with a maximum estimate of only 249 adults in the wild. The species is endemic to China but the last remaining tiny breeding area is in the Jiangxi Province. The bird trade has/is the main cause of population decline, as well as habitat destruction. It is a forest dwelling bird that eats invertebrates, fruits and seeds. This photo was recently taken at Marwell Zoo (September 2026).

Random meeting near ESSEC: white-crested laughingthrushes.

Not a native bird from Singapore, but often escapes from cages...

China is the primary center of evolution for Laughingthrushes and this Scaly Laughingthrush is just one of around 40 species found in the Middle Kingdom [www.Bird-Photo-Tours.com].

🌏 Collared Laughingthrush (Trochalopteron yersini) The Collared Laughingthrush is a striking bird, adorned in black, gray, and bright orange, with a black head, silver ear patch, and a distinct orange "collar." It is endemic to southern Vietnam, inhabiting dense understory of montane evergreen forests. They are typically found in small groups, foraging quietly on the forest floor, though they can be elusive. Their vocalizations include an odd, rising, yodel-like call. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Endangered (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by minhtri8725493 via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/bird-branch-tree-beak-feathers-6593250/ FFOY

A Striated Laughingthrush from Tarkeghyang, Bagmati, Nepal. It's hard not to just continuous photos of laughingthrushes--they are all too dang pretty. Even a "bland" one like this species.
