Queen Sirikit Park Autumn Birding | Thailand Birding
October 23rd, 2022 Nick When it comes to spring and autumn Bangkok-based birders head to the city’s parks in search of a wide variety of passage migrants. For migrating birds heading over this large area of urbanization these green areas provide much-needed rest areas as well as the opportunity to feed and gain the energy required to continue migration.

Daap Toon Hide at Kaeng Krachan | Thailand Birding
September 7th, 2022 Nick What I most enjoy is taking long walks in beautiful countryside and being able to see a wealth of bird life along the way.
