This trip was made back in May and not suppose to meet with any wet weather. Upon reaching Krabi airport and while on the way to Krung Ching Waterfall, the sky started to pour heavily.
Luckily the rain stop when we arrived at the waterfall.
Well, I'm not here for the waterfall but for the birds. We start to looking for birds even though it was still drizzling.
First was this juvenile Oriental magpie-robin.
Found a male Orange-bellied Flowerpecker on a fruiting Indian cherry tree.
There are more than one actually so as this female that not as brightly coloured as the male.
Pay attention to fruiting tree is always a good idea, a Black-winged Flycatcher-shrike also make an appearance.
Follow the knocking sound, saw this female Grey-and-buff Woodpecker.
Must be the good weather after the rain, saw another Blue-eared barbet.
My luck is too good, one excitement after another. Raffles's malkoha appear before the end of the bird wave.
One of my favorite in the broadbill family is this Black-and-yellow broadbill
Follow the foot steps of Black and yellow broadbill is this pair of Dusky broadbill. Wow! With this pair of broadbill appear right in front of me, will I be able to meet with my dream bird which is also my target of this trip?
Haha... luck is with me. I finally get to see my long time target bird - Green broadbill
Not the best night for astro photography due to the rain cloud but I give it a try...
With this, I happily end my day 1 of birding at Krung Ching Waterfall.
