I’m excited to share that I visited Chatuchak for the first time and skipped the bustling wet market to explore the nearby Wachirabenchathat Park, also known as Rot Fai Park.
As soon as I entered the park, I was thrilled to spot a Variable Squirrel!
Next up, I saw plenty of the familiar Common Myna birds hanging around.
There were quite a few Black-collared Starlings pecking at the ground, too.
I also caught a glimpse of a Pied Fantail flitting about near the lake.
You can often hear the Asian Koel, but it’s tricky to spot them out in the open.
Following the sound of the Koel led me to another cuckoo, the Plaintive Cuckoo, which reminded me a lot of the Sulawesi Brush Cuckoo I saw during my trip to Manado.
I also spotted an Indochinese Roller
and an Ashy Drongo along my walk.
After about 30 minutes of wandering, I came across an adorable Spotted Owlet!
It seems like there’s a little family of them in the park,
as I found two more at different spots.
On my way back to the lake, I was lucky enough to witness a Striated Heron catching a fish right in front of me!
Perched high on a tree branch, a White-throated Kingfisher was ready to dive in for a meal,
while an Oriental Magpie Robin was hiding beneath the leaves, seeking some shade from the sun.
Just as I was wrapping up my day, a Black-capped Kingfisher made an appearance. What a wonderful way to end my adventure!
