Birdwatching in Southern Thailand (27-29 March, 2014)

During the 3 days birding, I was able to see about 90 species including 5 lifer species.  Due to hot and humid climate without rain, pittas were not active.  I wasn't therefore able to see Gurney's Pitta.  However, 2 hawk-cuckoos, 2 frogmouths and 3 owls were seen very well.

3日間の滞在で合計約90種の野鳥を観察できたが、暑さの一方雨が降らず、ヤイロチョウ類はさっぱりで、かろうじてキマユヤイロチョウとマングローブヤイロチョウに出会えた。とはいえ、フクロウ類３種、カワセミ類３種、ガマグチヨタカ２種、ジュウイチ２種を撮影できたのは収穫だった。

まずは、ハイライトのヤイロチョウ類から。
