Pre-dawn to 3pm in Kaeng Krachan - it was a VERY cold start to the day by Thai standards: 7 celcius at sunrise!
The birding started well with Brown Boobook responding to tape and an Orange-headed Ground Thrush on the track. Woodpeckers seen during the day included Lesser Yellownape, Greater Flameback and Streak-breasted 'pecker. Other highlights included Sultan Tit, Hill Myna, Fork-tailed Drongo Cuckoo, Lesser Necklaced Laughingthrush, Claudia's Leaf Warbler, lots of Two-barred Greenish Warblers, Asian Paradise Flycatcher, Black-naped Monarch, Asian Fairy Bluebird, Stripe-throated Bulbul, Eye-browed Thrush, Ashy Minivet, many Spangled Drongos, Crested Serpent Eagle, Emerald Dove, Grey-rumped Treeswift, Vernal Hanging Parrot, Green-billed Malkoha, and Chestnut-headed Bee-eater. Grey Peacock-pheasants were heard but were always distant.
There were also a couple of young Leopards being seen around KM 24.5 but I didn't have time to go and check it out as I had to get back to Bangkok.
