With the weather conditions seemingly still good for finding grounded migrants I made my third trip in three days to Nakorn Sri Kuan Kan park, hoping that I could find a much anticipated “lifer” – Siberian Thrush or Narcissus Flycatcher were in my mind as possible species. Arriving early, at around 6.30am, things were pretty [...]

Thailand Birding: Sri Nakorn Kuan Kan Park Again
Last night it rained for a long time, only stopping a little before first light – as such I decided that it should be a good morning for grounded migrants and so went back to the park once more hoping for something good. In terms of seeing different species from the previous day it was [...]

With migration still underway I decided that another trip to Sri Nakorn Kuan Kan park was in order, particularly considering it is not far from where I live.
