Khao Yai - first full day

On Tuesday 14th we birded in the park and saw three of Khao Yai’s top four birds – Siamese Fireback, Coral-billed Ground Cuckoo and Banded Kingfisher (but not Blue Pitta). In fact we had luck all day and found other targets such as Great Slaty Woodpecker and White-crowned Forktail.  The day ended with some successful owling including a very cooperative Brown hawk Owl. We added 30 species to our trip list including 30 year birds and 21 lifers. My year’s tally reached 372 species and 51 lifers.
