Such broadleaved woodlands as remain are mostly low-stature, secondary regrowth but support a number of smaller resident species, including Buff-breasted Babbler and Brown-cheeked Fulvetta.

Spectacled Barwings and a host of other montane babblers were frequent, and delighted us due to their often confiding nature.
Among the highlights from the mountains of the north were Giant Nutchatches in the towering pine trees on Doi Chiang Dao, Rusty-cheeked Scimitar babblers, Red-faced Liocichlas, Spot-breasted Parrotbills and Buff-throated Warblers feeding on the open, scrubby, sunlit eastern slopes of Doi Angkhang.
