7th - 21st MARCH 2004 TOUR REPORT LEADER: DAVE FARROW GROUP MEMBERS: CHUCK BRAUN, JOYCE COLLINS, DOUGLAS ELLIS, DINAH HARRISON, KIT LANE, DI LOVELL, VINCE LOVELL, MARGARET McLAUGHLIN, ROB McLAUGHLIN and ROBIN PROCTER. This was the first Easybird 'Best of Thailand and Cambodia' tour, and was a very successful trip, combining the best of the avian and cultural sights of both countries, plus a few rare mammals thrown in for good measure! We began with the great temples of Angkor Wat, and soon after arriving in the heat of Siem Riep we made our first excursion to one of the most enduring images of the site. The Ta Phrom temple is left as much of the area once was, with great tree roots snaking over crumbling masonry and the jungle encroaching upon the walls of these once important temples. The large trees around here hosted noisy Red-breasted Parakeets, Lineated Barbets and Hill Mynas, and Blue Rock Thrushes bounded along the stone towers. An early start to the Tonle Sap began well with a beautiful sunrise over the floating villages, the full fat moon hanging opposite in the sky. We crossed this great fish-rich lake, watched a Peregrine perched on a bamboo fish fence, thousands of Whiskered Terns zipping up and down, and lines of Indian Cormorants gracing the skyline. We left the lake and penetrated the wilderness along small creeks, in a flotilla of canoes propelled by local fishermen into ever shallower waters. The bounty of fish in these waters expressed itself by the numerous fellows that leapt out of the water, sometimes actually colliding with the occupants, and landing in a flapping heap in the canoe bottom!. An idyllic way to spend a morning, casually looking at the Spot-billed Pelicans and variety of Egrets that fed along the banks and in the shallows, Grey-headed Fish Eagles called loudly from riverside trees and flocks of Storks filled the sky as they soared on the rising hot air as the land heated up. Our goal was an observation platform overlooking an area of trees dotted with storks nests, which became something of a struggle over the last few hundred meters, as the water had receded so much that we needed to be dragged over the shallows in order to reach it. We arrived and peered out from the treetop hide to see huge Greater Adjutants alongside the more numerous Lessers, and a colony of Painted Storks which upon careful scanning revealed a single Milky Stork sheltering three chicks from the sun. We lunched beneath the tree, and then set off back down the channels, a lazy afternoon indeed, unless your job is a canoeist! We visited the area of Ang Trapaeng Thmor, a reservoir set amid a rich area of seasonally inundated rice fields and home to a population of Sarus Cranes in the dry season. This area produced several Eastern Marsh and Pied Harriers, Lesser Whistling Ducks, Comb Ducks and Cotton Pygmy Geese, Oriental Pratincoles, Pheasant-tailed Jacanas, a wonderful pair of Black-necked Storks, Red-throated Pipits and Australasian Bushlarks. The best bird though was perhaps Small Buttonquail. Of several that we saw, the best was one that stood in the open next to our vehicles, remaining in plain view for several minutes and even passing between the closely parked cars! We also found White-shouldered and Black-collared Starlings, Racket-tailed Treepies, and our first rare mammal in the form of a group of three Eld's Deer that emerged from the edge of the dry woodland. It wasn't looking good for the Cranes though, and we had actually given up and returned to the main road, when flying into view came 22 Very Large Birds! A flock of Sarus Cranes dropped into the roadside fields, where we enjoyed a good look at these stately birds, rare and endangered here in South-east Asia. We were not going to leave without seeing Angkor Wat in all its glory, and the following morning we awaited the sunrise in front of the main temple, and watched the spectacle of the red orb lifting itself from behind the ornate spires of the temple. After an al-fresco breakfast on site, we explored the walls and corridors of the ancient building, and visited some more of this vast complex before retreating from the heat to our comfortable hotel. It was then time to leave and fly to Bangkok, a world away from this friendly and fascinating country! After pausing in the lap of luxury in Bangkok, we headed out into the field once more, visiting the coastal saltpans as we headed west. This is a superb place to observe many wader species, and we had close encounters with Broad-billed and Curlew Sandpipers, Red-necked and Long-toed Stints, Lesser Sand and Pacific Golden Plovers. The adjacent creeks and canals hosted colourful Collared and Black-capped Kingfishers and we all had a good close look at a Slaty-breasted Rail, before a super seafood lunch. Further stops on our way yielded a field full of Black-eared Kites, an Imperial Eagle, both Pheasant-tailed and Bronze-winged Jacanas, Striated Grassbird, Oriental Reed Warblers and Pink-necked Green Pigeons. And so to Kaeng Krachan, largest of Thailand's National Parks and one of the richest and most diverse. We spent all our time here in the lowland forest, and managed to extract many good birds from the rich seam of avian jewels. We began briskly with Chestnut-breasted Malkoha, Chestnut-winged, Oriental and Drongo Cuckoos, Oriental Pied and Great Hornbills, Thick-billed Pigeons, Orange-breasted Trogons, Green-eared and Blue-eared Barbets, Golden-crested Myna, Sultan Tits, Ochraceous Bulbul, Great Iora, Dark-sided Flycatcher and Little Spiderhunter, and all this before our sumptuous jungle-picnic lunch! During our stay we saw four different species of Broadbills; Silver-breasted, Banded, Black-and-Yellow and Dusky, this stretch of forest surely being the one of the best for observing these curious birds. We enjoyed great looks at the often sneaky Tickell's Brown Hornbills, tracked furtive mixed flocks that held Crested Jay and Greater Necklaced Laughingthrushes, Greater Racket-tailed and Spangled Drongos and Common (but always shy!) Green Magpies. Various Woodpeckers appeared, such as a trio of the mighty Great Slaty Woodpeckers, Greater and Common Flamebacks and Grey-headed Woodpeckers. We also found a Banded Bay Cuckoo, Asian Barred Owlets, White-rumped Shama and Spot-necked Babblers. In these great trees we found Asian Fairy Bluebirds, Ashy Minivets, Large Woodshrikes, flocks of Black-naped Orioles, Yellow- bellied Warblers in tall bamboo and a Radde's Warbler along the roadside. A pair of Blue-bearded Bee- eaters posed together for us, close to their nest in a mud bank, and a walk up onto the ridge produced Rufous Woodpecker, White-browed Piculet and a Black Eagle. An early morning expedition into the forest secured us a delightful view of the rare White-fronted Scops Owl. It popped out of the gloom and sat for several minutes in plain view, showing off its soft tones and smart white bill. A Birdquest first no less! Large-tailed Nightjars provided a distraction on the road, and in the dawning we had a splendid look at another rare deer when two Fea's Muntjac dawdled on the track in front of us. Kaeng Krachan is always good for seeing mammals and we also saw Dusky Leaf Monkeys, Common Gibbon, Indian Muntjac, Black Giant Squirrel and Northern Tree Shrew. From Kaeng Krachan it is a short drive to the coast and its diverse habitats, and on our way there we stopped to look at Rufous-winged Buzzard, Vinous-breasted Starlings and a flock of 29 Painted Storks. Our destination was Laem Phak Bia, a sandy spit protruding into the Bight of Bangkok. We boarded small boats and took a short ride through mangrove creeks out to the shoreline, where we found Lesser and Greater Crested, Common and Little Terns, and migrant waders alongside the resident Malaysian Plovers that zipped up and down the sand. Nearby saltpans held more waders, with a flock of 13 Great Knot, many Lesser Sand Plovers, Black-tailed Godwit, and a collection of gulls that included numerous Brown-headeds, Heuglin's and a single Pallas's Gull. Our onward journey involved a taste of Bangkok traffic and an internal flight to Chiang Mai, where we paused for some rest and shopping! We made a pilgrimage from Chiang Mai to the nearby Huai Hong Khrai, arriving at dawn just as a Green Peafowl called noisily from a large tree in the dry woodland. We eventually spotted it ? amazing how such a large bird can go unnoticed! Then at least two came down to the lakeshore, and danced around with their tails in full glorious spread. We added Red Junglefowl, Rosy Minivet and Tickell's Blue Flycatcher, before returning to Chiang Mai where we paid a visit to the incredibly ornate and shiny temple of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, overlooking this most agreeable of cities. Our last stop on the tour was in a resort set amid dry woodland at the foot of Thailand's highest mountain Doi Inthanon, where the cross-section of habitats and altitudes provide for exciting birding.. We began at the hotter lower altitudes, where we found dainty Collared Falconets, Coppersmith Barbets, Chestnut- headed Bee-eaters, Rufous Treepie, the strange leucotis form of Eurasian Jay, Small Minivet, and Chestnut- bellied Nuthatches attending a nest hole. At the cool summit the famous bog was looking rather dry, but we still found Yellow-bellied Fantail, Snowy-browed Flycatchers, Blyth's Leaf, Buff-barred and Ashy-throated Warblers, Green-tailed Sunbirds buzzed around the rhododendron flowers, Chestnut-crowned Laughingthrushes, Chestnut-tailed Minlas and Rufous-winged Fulvettas all pottered about, unconcerned by our very close proximity! A second visit to this tranquil area filled in some gaps, with a furtive Pygmy Wren Babbler, tame Rufous-throated Partridges, a Dark-sided Thrush that flew through the startled group of Birdquesters, and we enjoyed some stunning views of a vexed male White-browed Shortwing, flaring his white brows until they all but covered his crown. Lower down the mountain, we birded the thick evergreen forest and had stunning looks at Spectacled Barwing and Rufous-backed Sibia, part of a wealth of birdlife that included Golden-throated Barbet, Asian Emerald Cuckoo, Grey-chinned and Short-billed Minivets, Lesser Racket-tailed Drongo, Eye-browed and Grey-sided Thrushes, Verditer, Little Pied and Hainan Blue Flycatchers, Yellow-cheeked Tits, Golden and Grey-throated Babblers, White-browed Shrike Babbler, Dark-backed Sibia, the gorgeous Silver-eared Mesia, Hume's and Chinese Leaf Warblers and Streaked Spiderhunter. In more broken habitat we found White- headed Bulbul and Hill Prinia, and in a damp gully we saw Lesser Shortwing, Small Niltava and Buff- breasted Babbler. A foray into secondary habitat brought surprises in the form of Pale Blue Flycatcher and a vocal party of Grey-headed Parrotbills. We visited the campsite to see the resident Black-tailed Crake marching about on the short grass, and saw a migrant Grey-faced Buzzard flying overhead. Another look in the lower altitudes provided a good view of the normally shy Black-backed Forktail, more Black Baza and Rufous-winged Buzzards, and a good encounter with a mixed flock of White-crested and Lesser Necklaced Laughingthrushes coming to the river to drink. We finally got to see the pair of Spotted Owlets that lived alongside us at our hotel, before it was time to leave these fair shores and make the short journey to Chiang Mai airport and our route homeward.
