This is the third nest of the breeding season of 2014, found by Arjin Sukkasaem and Nirawath Narod.
Nest is built at c. 2 meters above ground on a moderately high tree (2-3 m high) on roadside in evergreen forest.
Interestingly, based on 6 nests of the species found in 2013 (one at Doi Inthanon NP and two at Doi Sunju) and 2014 (three at Doi Sun Ju), it appears that male birds incubated eggs (n=6), and tended 2 nestlings in each nest (n=2, 2013) during daylight. And female bird on each nest was observed, brooding two nestlings in the night (2 nests).
The first nest of 2014 at Doi Sunju on 2-4 March 2014 (per Tetsuya Yoshikawa) was also on roadside (as same as all the other four nests), and unfortunately fell victim to nest predator (presumably squirrel or yellow-throated marten on 4 March 2014.
