[QUOTE="Lerxst, post: 3672049, member: 118326"] Hello, it is Tuesday morning in Bangkok, so here is my update: Week 5: January 24 - January 30, Thailand Working Days: 5 New species identified: 55 Total to date: 313 12.5% of goal, 9.6% of year used Sites visited: Kaeng Krachan National Park, Thailand Photos, etc: [url]https://legallyblindbirding.net/2018-gbwy/[/url] This was our second time in Kaeng Krachang National Park, about a three hour drive southwest from Bangkok. It does not get the attention or the hordes of visitors that Khao Yai attracts, so it is much more amenable to stopping and walking the road; several other groups of birders were doing that as well, and at least in the early morning, we didn't see anyone else. Saturday we birded the park proper, with most success being at higher elevations during and after some afternoon rains. Sunday we birded the nearby Bo Lung Sin blind. Details and photos are in the link above. We stayed two night at Baan Maka lodge, which while not next to the park, is not so far as to be a problem. I think it took about 15 minutes to reach the entrance. Baan Maka has a number of trails and a marsh and gave us plenty of Spangled Drongos to start the day Saturday. Last year we stayed at Samarn Bird Camp, which lies very close to KKNP. I think both places are great options. As detailed in the link above, and discussed in the Identification Q&A forum, we spent several confusing hours in the field wondering about Silver Pheasants and a Buff-vented Bulbul that we clearly saw but which eBird did not list, even as a rarity. [URL="http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=339522"]These turned out to be Kalij Pheasants and an Olive Bulbul, respectively.[/URL] Thanks viator and andyb39.
