We rolled into Kaeng Krachang late in the afternoon after enjoying some time watching the rare Spoon-Billed Sandpiper near the Gulf of Thailand.
Since the Kaeng Krachang National Park was about to close, I decided to check out a cozy bird hide just outside the park. It was perfectly situated right in the middle of a bird migration route. Instead of wandering around chasing after birds, I thought it would be fun to relax in the hide and see what feathered friends would come my way.
As soon as I pulled out my camera, I spotted a beautiful White-Rumped Shama singing its heart out from a tree branch.
The Lesser Necklaced Laughingthrush made quite the entrance, announcing its arrival with a cheerful ruckus, and it was easy to spot them following the sound.
Not far behind was a lone White-browed Scimitar-Babbler, following in the footsteps of the Laughingthrush.
I was thrilled to see a shy Emerald Dove making its way through the area as well.
And then, brightening up my hot, lazy afternoon, the colorful Orange-Headed Thrush popped into view—what a delightful sight!
Next up was the Streak-Eared Bulbul, which I noticed hanging out in the same spot.
I also caught a glimpse of the Greater Racket-Tailed Drongo, known for its impressive ability to mimic a variety of sounds, including some metallic jingles.
Puff-Throated Babblers seemed to be quite common here, as I spotted several of them around.
After a fun birdwatching session, we took a break and headed to a local restaurant to enjoy a delicious bowl of noodles for lunch.
