N. Thailand Part 1 - Thung Salaeng Luang NP, Phitsanulok

[Painted Jezebel]

Antonio and I have just returned from 4 full days in N. Thailand, where we met up with 3 Facebook friends of Antonio's for the first 2 days which were spent at Thung Salaeng Luang National Park, Phitsanulok Province. the other two days were spent in other National Parks, and owing to the number of new species/subspecies found in each park, they will each have their own thread, otherwise this would become over cumbersome.

As some will know, our aims included the JungleQueen and the Yellow Gorgon. Whilst we were there at the wrong time of year, apparently, for the JungleQueen, we did, at long distance, see a single Yellow Gorgon, and are looking forward to finding a better quality specimen next time we visit, which will also allow us closer.

So, to start this thread off with this 'goody' ( there will be many, many more to come), a dishevelled, heavily cropped, female Yellow Gorgon (Meandrusa payeni langsonensis).
