Keang Karchan - Woodpeckers, Broadbills and Dollarbirds

Dollarbird
by Fred Rowe
After less than a month, between Feb 2nd-5th I was back at Keang Karchan National Park with friends, it was surprising how the birds had changed in less than a month between the two visits. The most notable among these was the number of Dollarbird we saw, on the first trip we had managed to see just one, during the second visit we saw at least 20 including at several pairs and small groups chasing each other and displaying. Broadbills were much more vocal and we enjoyed good views of both Silver-breasted and Banded, also hearing Black and Yellow. A great selection of woodpeckers was also seen including two or three Heart-spotted Woodpecker, at least eight Great Slaty, with 3 at kilometer 9 and 5 by the first stream and a Crimson-winged Woodpecker between streams one and two. 

The area between streams one and three and by the Bang Krang Campsite were the most productive area, with additional species recorded here including Tickell's Brown and Great Hornbill, Orange-breasted Trogon, Banded Kingfisher (heard only), 4 Black-thighed FalconetBlue-bearded Bee-eater, Violet and Drongo Cuckoo, Chesnut-breasted Malkoha, Large Woodshrike, Sultan Tit, Ruby-cheeked Sunbird and Yellow-vented Flowerpecker.

During our visit to Keang Krachan we stayed at Baan Song Nok, where the bird blind there provided excellent views of a small selection of species, which included pairs of Kalij Pheasant, Bar-backed Patridge, Green-legged Partidge, good numbers of Greater and Lesser Neckalced Laughingthrush, Siberian Blue Robin, several Pale-lgged Leaf Warbler and Tickell's Blue Flycatcher.

  3. Did you know there is a 12 word sentence you can speak to your man... that will trigger intense emotions of love and instinctual appeal to you deep within his heart?

    Because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's impulse to love, worship and look after you with his entire heart...

    12 Words Will Trigger A Man's Love Impulse

    This impulse is so built-in to a man's mind that it will drive him to try harder than ever before to to be the best lover he can be.

    In fact, triggering this all-powerful impulse is so essential to getting the best ever relationship with your man that as soon as you send your man one of the "Secret Signals"...

    ...You'll soon notice him expose his heart and soul to you in such a way he never expressed before and he'll see you as the only woman in the galaxy who has ever truly understood him.
