A
rather quiet day by Doi Lang standards started with a calling Giant Nuthatch beside the road, with a
pair of Rusty-cheeked Scimitar-babblers,
3 Olive-backed Pipits and a brief Chestnut Bunting nearby. The top forest
held a large flock that we just caught the tail-end of with several Grey-headed Parrotbills, Short-billed Minivet, Black-winged Cuckooshrike, Rufous-backed Sibia and others.

Along
the road a flock of Grey-cheeked
Fulvettas held both Golden and Rufous-fronted Babblers. The Spot-breasted Parrotbill was also in
attendance, along with Himalayan
Bluetail, Siberian Rubythroat, and
a few Silver-eared Laughingthrushes.

Driving
down the mountain a pair of Giant
Nuthatches looked fantastic in the scope and we came across another flock
of Grey-headed Parrotbills, and a
group of Black-throated Bushtits.
Just a shame a Speckled Piculet flew
off before everybody saw it. And then it was a long drive to the Inthanon
Highland Resort where we will be staying for the next 3 nights.
