My first visit was in the late afternoon, with little bird activity. I played a tape of Asian Barred Owlet to elicit some response from the forest birds, and managed to pull in a group of WHITE-THROATED BULBULS, and of course an AsBO!

I also found this striking lizard, which I tried photographing with and without flash. I'm unsure on the ID, but from my rather limited fieldguide I think it belongs to the family Agamidae, possibly of the genus Calotes.

On my way back on Friday I found a flock of 30+ ASIAN OPENBILL STORKS feeding in roadside paddies just south of Nakon Sawan, so stopped to grab this shot.
