My email is wicken4@hotmail.co.uk<br />I have a blog which I try to update rather badly compared to you euniceandneil.blogspot.com<br />I was down at Leam Pak Bia this weekend and had some great views of Great Thick-knee which I will post on my blog asap. Passerine migrants seemed to be piling on on Sunday as well.

It's a great birding place; I take it for granted now. I am taking what you say to mean you've found the raptor site at Wat Norng Blah Lai but you haven't found the birding site at Wat Khao Takhrao? Correct me if I have got you wrong. Both of these sites are reasonably quiet right now whereas the reservoir really comes into its own during the rainy season. The Wat Khao Takhrao site is quite difficult to find. I suggest you send me an email and I'll come back to you with directions or GPS co-ordinates. If you are back at the reservoir do let me know if you see anything interestingl. It has some interesting historical records such as a Sooty Tern and because it is massively under-watched we really don't know what might be there: we think all the quails & buttonquails should be there, there are a couple of old records for Pied Cuckoo in the province, Siberian Rubythroat was heard over the winter months and who knows what else is waiting to be found. Yeah hopefully see you out there.Gerry Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144735667334226938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594448327350205604.post-518820197742766562012-06-29T19:43:46.943+07:002012-06-29T19:43:46.943+07:00Hi Gerry,

I went to Huay Mai Teng two weeks ago thanks to your enthusiasm for the place and had a great morning of birding with 7 River Lapwing, loads of Small Pratincole, Pied kingfisher and Blue-breasted Bee Eater to name but a few. Great place. However, I have been down to the raptor watching site numerous times but failed to find Wat Khao Takhrao every time. Can you give me some detailed directions? Thanks. I have a blog but nowhere as good as yours! Maybe we will meet up some time. euniceandneil.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594448327350205604.post-11079710369087280612012-06-26T03:02:14.291+07:002012-06-26T03:02:14.291+07:00Hey Tun good to hear from you and thanks for spott...Hey Tun good to hear from you and thanks for spotting my error; it should of course be Asian Golden Weaver!Gerry Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144735667334226938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7594448327350205604.post-6844172597274009652012-06-25T21:59:51.237+07:002012-06-25T21:59:51.237+07:00Hmm golden plovers in June?

Too bad I couldn't manage to visit you at Ratchaburi. My plan's changed and I need to come back to Chiang Mai earlier than expected to finish all the paper stuff regarding my study. I'll probably see you around some day when I get the chance to be in central Thailand again!Ayuwat Jearwattanakanokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974382002738757818noreply@blogger.com
