Kaengkrachan part 2

White-browed Piculet  We also did some walkabout photography inside of Kaengkrachan National Park. Walking with camera gear give less opportunity but produces images that are not 'look alike' as the shots from feeding stations often are. I use Canon 7D coupled with 100-400Mark2 Ideally I should upgrade to the 7D2 Long-tailed Broadbills Banded Kingfisher, female Banded Kingfisher, male Common Flameback, female Dusky Broadbill Silver-breasted Broadbill Hooded Pitta Grey Peacock Pheasant Hair-crested Drongo

Photography trip in late April

Kevin Bartlett wanted to photograph Broadbills after some work in Bangkok. We spent 6 lovely days together both inside of Kaengkrachan National Park as well as in the outskirts and some fields of Petchaburi province. Kevin managed to photograph 5 species of Broadbills much to his delight. He also got his 1st Pitta species on film and just generally had a good time with the birds. These are my own images. I didn't pursue all birds as I have photographed them previously. It was still dry in the park after an unusually long dry season. Birds were starting to breed though and we did encounter sporadic rain. The Pittas were active as well and we heard 4 species and saw 2. We also saw numerous Yellow-rumped Flycatchers as well as a few Green-backed. These birds are passage migrants and otherwise not seen in the park. Lodging and dining was at Baan Maka, the default choice of accommodation. These images are all from a hide by a waterhole.   Asian Golden Weavers sp
