    I may not be an ornithologist, but I like to see. I have also been following the peregrine falcon on the mortar at Gemert for a few seasons

      I have been living in Thailand for about 10 years.
      So that peregrine falcon (or its offspring) is still there.
      Good to hear, because I've been following that for a long time too.
      Beautiful.

    According to thai-language.com, nok chiew bong yai should be written nohk chiaao boong yai (thai-language.com) or nok chiao bung yai (Royal Thai General System).

    นกเฉี่ยวบุ้งใหญ่ to Dutch sounds: nók chi-àuw bôeng Jài (H, L, D, L).
