The Wildlife Sanctuary of Huay Kha Kaeng is one of the most pristine forest habitats in mainland Southeast Asia and part of Thailand’s extensive Western Forest Complex. However, amongst travellers it is little know and few birders have tapped into the huge potential for birdwatching this location has. With this in mind it was interesting to receive an e-mail from Peter Ericsson with a short trip report on his recent visit to this site.

I have reproduced the trip report here – Huay Kha Kaeng – on thaibirding.com in an attempt to collect all the resources for birdwatchers in Thailand in one location, but the report can be seen in its original format with photographs here: Huay Kha Kaeng.

Some of the highlights from Peter’s trip were Yellow-footed Pigeon, Black-headed Woodpecker, Collared Falconet, Blue-winged Pitta, Black Baza and Red-billed Blue Magpie.
