Cat Tien Birding Day One

We spent the morning birding in the national park with Thong, a really super guide who we will join again tomorrow morning.

We picked up six lifers - Oriental Pied Hornbill, Green-legged Partridge, Vernal Hanging Parrot, Blue-bearded Bee-eater, Scarlet Minivet and Blue-winged Pitta.

Forest birding can be really difficult, even with an experienced local guide, and we dipped out on a number of species that we got only glimpses of.

We discovered that the termites here really pack a bite !

The termites in Cat Tien aren't into taking prisoners
