We’ve just enjoyed a delightful day birding in the small rain forest reserve of Si Phang Nga. We saw some excellent birds throughout the seven hours we were in the park, including good views of Wreathed Hornbill, Black Baza, Eastern Crowned Warbler, Ashy Minivet, Rufous-bellied Eagle, Pacific Swallow & Golden Whiskered Barbet. In addition to the birds, other wildlife sightings included White-handed Gibbon and Pigtail Macaque (subject to id confirmation). But perhaps the most amazing wildlife encounter was of a pair of Forest Crested lizard – looking after their clutch of eggs. When we got back to our hotel Jane found a Peregrine (peregrinator) sat on the local radio mast. An excellent day of Thai birding, taking our total to 192.
