We’ve just spent the last couple of days birding the rain forests of Krung Ching, staying in a lovely home-stay at Ban Phi Tam. The birding certainly had its amazing moments but generally it was very hard work with most birds only heard or occasionally glimpsed. A few stand-out birds remained visible to see, enjoy and photograph – Buffy Fish Owl, Black and Yellow Broadbill, White-crowned Hornbill and Wallace’s Hawk-eagle included. On Sunday we made the 8k (return) trek to the spectacular Krung Ching waterfalls – great scenery, very few birds and – in the hot and humid conditions – utterly exhausting. Today we travelled to Khao Sok National Park with more forest birding in prospect.
