Once through the mayhem that was the terminal building, with inordinately long queues to get through passport control, and bags littering the woefully inadequate conveyor belt area, we saw our cases hefted on to the top of an ancient bus, and set up station about 20 metres away before the journey began.

Added spice was an Oriental Honey Buzzard chased into a palm tree on the opposite side of the road by House Crows.

Daily counts of migrating raptors were made on 43 days between 27 September and 9 November 2003 near the city of Chumphon in south-east Thailand.
Overall, 170,665 migrating raptors of 15 species were counted during 378 hours of observation (452 birds/hour).The counts of five raptor species (Black Baza Avecida leuphotes, Oriental Honey-buzzard Pernis ptilorhyncus, Eastern Marsh Harrier Circus spilonotus, Chinese Sparrowhawk Accipiter soloensis and Grey-faced Buzzard Bustatur indicus) represent some of the highest totals reported to date.
Winds from the north to west and cloud cover were positively associated with the number of raptors seen.We recommend that counts be continued at Chumphon in the future and that the site is used to promote raptor conservation in Thailand.

Both Chinese Sparrowhawks and Japanese Sparrowhawks were frequently observed in large flocks, whereas Oriental Honey Buzzards were more frequently seen singly or in pairs.
Between sites, intra-annual variation in proportions of the three most common species identified remained constant over the two-year study period, whereas within one site (Puncak Pass) the proportion of Oriental Honey Buzzards varied from 6 to 10% between years.
Migration starts in the third week of September and passage rates (the number of birds passing per hour during 09.01–12.00 hours) of the raptors peaked at the end of October and showed little spatial variation.
