Our first day in Khao Yai National Park was very rewarding. We began the day by birding around the campsite which ended up being the best 2 hours of birding throughout the 3 days we stayed at the park.
Naturally, we had a few birds on our 'wish list', most of them we didn't see, but we did find many other birds that were equally cool. It's always enjoyable coming across a bird you've never seen before or heard about, rummaging through the field guide trying to figure it out, settling on a decision and then moving on to the next bird.
An Orange-headed Thrush was easily seen - no doubt tamed by the photographers that visit the park:
A male Siberian Blue Robin was nice to see after having seen plenty of bland females in Singapore:
Waterfalls are always fun:
A few Blue-whistling Thrushes were seen along the streams. They are actually rather big for a thrush:
