 Birdwatching Trip Report from Goa ,India
There are usually some food and drink stalls near the tourist chalets, but visitors would be well advised to take their own food.
The Pitta 'stake-out' is nothing short of an open-sewer, but we had excellent views of an incredibly obliging Indian Pitta hopping along the ground in front of us and we also saw Asian Fairy‑Bluebird and Tawny‑bellied Babbler and a soaring Peregrine Falcon overhead.
After lunch we spent some time birding in and along the edge of the forest, but it was not very productive and it seems that early morning is the best time to bird here.

The Wakkerstroom Vleireserve, a wetland close to the village, produced Purple Gallinule (4), Hottentot Teal (c10), Red-billed Teal (3), Yellow-billed Duck (common), African Snipe, Common Moorhen, Red-knobbed Coot (common) and White-breasted Cormorant.
We searched in vain for Neergaard’s Sunbird (may be seen near the manager’s house), Lemon-breasted Canary (frequents often cultivated areas outside the reserve during winter) and African Broadbill.
Greater Double-collared Sunbirds and Bully Canaries were fairly common in the office area.

No sign of the Vinous-breasted Starling, but a mid-afternoon visit to this smallish city park yielded many birds that we didn't see much of elsewhere in Thailand.
Our favorite spots were the trail uphill at km 13 (Black-headed Woodpecker and Chinese Francolin), the jeep track at km 37.5 (Purple Cochoa) and,of course, the boardwalk at the summit, where the Rufous-throated partridges are just one of the amazing species on show.
There are, however, many other great birds to be seen - we would have liked to have spent several more days there, but did manage to see a few good ones nonetheless.
