birdwatching and work to do on our farm

Hello all, this week I am checking out our farm...to watch birds and to check what we have to do on the trails/forest . Well I do see some work again...very care full though...because we have still birds who are nesting.
Like this orange billed Nightingale Thrush in the palm tree next to our house:
Took my phone with me on my walks and with the GPS you can get a nice idea how I did walk.(see down below)
 Did not walk the farm (9 hectares)  totally... but these are the walks where our guest also walk and that has to be nice and walkable.
I have to walk 2 other trails and then I know for sure what my work is the coming next days.
The garden is now done...for now..probably with this nice weather ...sun and some rain..everything grows like crazy, so in 2 weeks time I can start over again. Don't mind that... like to work in the garden. 


The trails in the forest... only pruning a bit, some small branches are hanging over. Loads of Acorns on the trail by the way...
  I like the rainy season, everywhere you hear the water going....
And on one of my walks , 7th of July 2019, I did see a new bird for the farm...in the forest... first I did see the juvenile double toothed Kite and yes I did take a picture. Did see this bird before also the parents.
But more or less then 10 minutes later I did see the collared Forest Falcon, an immature!!
Did hear a week ago or so the song of a laughing Falcon...I thought... I remember that I said to Hans,  "he has a different song"...well now I know it was an adult collared Forest Falcon.
 I wonder did they have a nest in the pine trees or so?
Enough to eat for these birds... we have so much birds on the farm and so much immatures.
I will add the lists of my walks and I took the picture of my computer screen of the walk, to give an idea. 
I end my story with this Lesson's Motmot who was warming up in the sun this morning...
His new feathers are coming, he looks already beautiful!
greetings from Terry
