I was stopping off at a waterfall on the road to Tham Lod (to see a few hundred thousand Pacific swifts funnel into a giant cave to roost for the night) when I came upon this rotund little bird. It was hopping and fluttering around from rock to rock at the base of a series of rapids, apparently catching bugs lurking near the surface of the water.
