This is the second part of my first birding trip to Thailand in 2013. After the very fruitful trip to Pak Thale on shore birds, we move to Kaeng Krachang National Park for our forest and open country birds.
Kaeng Krachan is situated near the South-Western of Thailand. This is my 2nd visit to this beautiful place - One of my biggest find the last time I visit here is a leopard!.
This two White-fronted Scops Owl (Otus sagittatus) was so cute that I decided to show them first in this post.This Pintail Parrotfinch (Erythrura prasina) is new bird for me. This is my first time seeing this colourful bird that about the size of a sparrow.
Golden Fronted Leafbird (Chloropsis aurifrons)
Another nocturnal bird that we saw - Indian Nightjar (Caprimulgus asiaticus)
Black-Naped Monarch, female(Hypothymis azurea)
Blue Bearded Bee Eater (Nyctyornis athertoni)
Mountain Imperial Pigeon (Ducula badia)
The very skittish White Handed Gibbon. Managed to get a shot while this mother with baby cross the road in-front of us on the tree top.
A very cute Burmese Striped Squirrel.
Another squirrel that we saw.
Siberian Blue Robin (Luscinia cyane)
Greater Necklaced Laughingthrush (Garrulax pectoralis)
The Red Throated Flycatcher (Ficedula parva) will show orange throat during breeding plumage.
Black Drongo (Dicrurus macrocercus) that is quite common there.
Asian Openbill (Anastomus oscitans) is very common especially at the paddy field along both side of the road.
Plain Prinia (Prinia inornata)
Siberian Stonechat (Saxicola maura)
Bronze-Winged Jacana (Metopidius indicus)
Red-Wattled Lapwing (Vanellus indicus)
Black-Capped kingfisher (Halcyon pileata)
Thailand recorded more than 900 species of birds. This for sure won't be my last birding trip to Thailand, I'll sure come back for more...
