We arrived at the Muang Boran fish ponds 6am just when it started raining, how typical. But after a short wait it stopped and we moved out to the ponds. My target was fliers of Pheasant-tailed Jacana in breeding suit (with the long tail). The light was low to start with but got better soon when the clouds cleared.
I sat down in a chair covered in a mosquito net. Not many birds out flying this morning and nothing really close. It took a while before I figured out a good position for the Jacanas and I had to move several times. However they never came close enough to catch some details. The sun came and went but at 11am it was too hot and we went to Bang Poo for lunch.
