Update

Due to a combination of four days of heavy rain, followed by a very short visit into Burma to renew my visa and family commitments, very little birding was done last week, but as always odd and ends were seen whilst traveling around. Both Himalayan Brown Wood Owl and Spot-bellied Eagle Owl were heard calling not far from Malee's during the wet spell and on the way to Mae Sai on the 17th two Eastern Buzzards were seen near Thaton and very close to Mae Sai a flock of at least 250 Open-billed Stork were noted soaring over the main road. On the 19th I managed a short walk around scrub just outside Lampang, recording Racket-tailed Treepie, Rufous Treepie, Rufous-winged Buzzard and a couple of Thick-billed Warbler.
