Kaeng Krachan's highest elevations

We spent 9 hours at the highest elevations in Kraeng Krachan on Sunday; it rained for much of the time and again the birding was slow. We added 16 trip birds, all new for the year with the highlight being two further barbet species and Brown Hornbill. We added further species late in the day, Vinous-breasted Starling at our place of accommodation, House Swift (already seen in Bangsar) and then Indian Nightjar at a well-known spot after dark. I added 18 species for the year to reach 459 and had another 11 lifers to reach 101 for the year!
