English Camp Visit to Khao Prataeo

Posted in Beach in Phuket

While conducting an English Camp for the Thepkasatree Municipality last week (26-28 March) I was able to make a short trip to Khao Prataeo National Park. As much as I wanted to get some time in to do some birding, I had to focus my attention on the kids which meant I was barely able to see much. But that didn’t matter.

As usual, the waterfall was muddy and lacking in a vital ingredient: water. Even though the recent rains have given the park a much-needed pep-up, the tormenting heat of the dry season only made matters worse for our team of 60 kids and trainers by blanketing the jungle with a dense blanket of humidity. The six-kilometer hike was more than we bargained for but as usual, the kids came out fine while we trainers were still recovering from the ordeal five days later.

Birdlife was definitely abundant but not necessarily showing. A dead juvenile Little Spiderhunter gave the kids and teachers a fright, causing them to run away with shrieks of “Kai Wat Nok!” (Bird flu) A pair of Blue Eared Barbets were busy excavating another hole in a dead tree in the parking lot. This might be the second pair of nesters I’ve seen this month at this park of the same species. Another Red-throated Barbet showed well further up the trail sitting high in the bamboo. Striped Tit-Babblers were all too common and quite bold at times. A Slow Loris, awoken by the noise of 50 sixth-graders tromping through the park, climbed further up the tree to avoid detection.

I will be away at another English Camp near Laguna for the next five days. During that time I hope to make a trip to the area to assess the waterfowl populations there. Most of all I am interested in seeing just how much of an impact the recent wave of construction has had on the bird community there and where the stakeouts are for future birders interested in visiting the site.
