The long drive back to Bangkok from Chumphon was broken up with a few hours birding aroun d Laem Pak Bia and Pak Thale.
Highlights included excellent views of a female
Greater Painted Snipe at the Kings Project, a juvenile
Little Stint, a flock of 44
Grey-headed Lapwings at Wat Komnaram and a juv
Heuglin's Gull at Pak Thale. I spent a good amount of time trying to Find the recently arrived Spoon-billed Sandpiper but without success. Instead I had to settle for a huge group of
Great Knot dropping in shortly before sunset, at very close range.
