[QUOTE="Larry Sweetland, post: 1167957, member: 27337"] [b]Back on track[/b] Don't bother reading this if you don't like twitchers. Hi Halftwo. I think the only way to do it cheapish (less than 40 quid each) is to do the open ticket snorkelling thing from here (Khao Lak). We could still do this and have to stay on I#8 and risk seeing the pidge in the daytime on I#4, but I'd rather spend the night with them and guarentee seeing them well for that price. It really is one of the birds I most wanted to see on this trip. I've stopped sulking now, and after a rest at Khao Lak have emerged a lean mean birding machine with a mission to get back on track. It's been a bit slack since Vietnam, and a bit namby-pamby softcore to say the least. To keep pace with the grand masterplan I'm still hoping for 18 lifers between here and Singapore, and a nerdy flick through Robson reveals there are a possible 86, not including vagrants. How nerdy is that? So everything to play for. Will he do it ? I have a feeling I might need a fairy godperson. Nicky has kindly suggested that we hang out around Krabi until it's possible to come back up here for the pidge in a couple of weeks. A couple of new birds have crept onto the trip list since we headed south, [B]Asian Glossy Starling[/B], [B]Grey-rumped Tree-Swift [/B]and [B]Plain-throated Sunbird[/B]. [B]Pacific Swallows [/B]are now in numbers, and there are plenty of [B]swiftlets[/B] overhead, but unfortunately I can't see what colour their nests are from my hammock. I guess a juicy migrant could pop up anytime and anywhere now. Nice [B]Whimbrel[/B] on the beach this morning. Hopefully my next post will be more informative. Sorry if this thread's deteriorated lately. I sometimes think it's probably not worth continuing with it. 614 Asian Glossy Starling 615 Grey-rumped Tree-Swift 616 Plain-throated Sunbird [/QUOTE]
