When: November 2022. Weather : Hot 25-30C. Nikon P900, Nikon P950. Leica M11/35 Summilux

With our ranger guiding us, we set off from Nana Resort to the Kaeng Krachan National Park (KKNP) about 730am and the weather soon got a bit cooler as we headed into the park and up the hilly road. We were planning to bird further up the hill and then return to Ban Krang Campsite to have lunch and bird a bit more.

As soon as you enter the park, there is a large scenic lake on the left…

As we drove up the winding road, we stopped periodically at various locations, which had helpful birdwatching signs….

The heavens then opened on us around lunchtime and we sought shelter and lunch at the small cafetaria at Ban Krang camp…the barbecued chicken there is to die for and we spent a very agreeble hour or two there having lunch and birding….

A sun bear visited us hoping for some food but he was a bit skittish and we couldn’t get any pictures….

A reasonably good day’s birding in all! Recommended.

Thanks to Kim Chuah for help in identifying many of the birds.
