We’re nearing the end of our extended stop-over in south Thailand – returning to England today. We’ve spent the last couple of days birding the wonderful Nation Park of Keang Krachan, staying at the birders accommodation at Kum Nangpaya. We spent a full day in the park – with a mid-day break – and saw some cracking birds. Too many to list but I hope the photos give an indication of what’s on offer at this exceptional location. One of the early highlights was several Orange-breasted Trogon but the wildlife highlight of the day came at the very end, when we were just leaving the park. As we rounded the bend before the campsite a ‘big cat’ dived into the trackside vegetation – all we saw was the hind quarters and two foot tail. The local troop of Spectacled Langur went berserk. A local guide, leading a night walk, looked for it using his thermal imager, as it moved along the stream-bed through the campsite. The campers mostly oblivious to the occurrence. Can’t be sure of the id but the size fitted with Panther and there had been a couple of sightings over the previous couple of evenings. The wildlife activity continued the following day when we did an early morning session in one of the nearby hides – getting unforgettable views of some hard to see species. A couple more stops on the way to Bangkok took our trip list total to 246. A really good trip with more good food, scenery and birds – all carefully planned and delivered by Neil and Nicola. We’ll be back to Norfolk and ‘normality’ in the next 24 hours – hopefully!
