Doi Lang Bird Photography – Thailand Birding
December 4th, 2013 Nick Last year opportunities for photographing birds at Doi Lang were spectacular with a number of stakeouts created by local birders where birds were fed with mealworms in order to lure them out into photographable situations. Recent visits to Doi Lang have revealed that a number of signposts have been placed by national park authorities requesting [...]
Gulls at Bang Poo | Thailand Birding

Thailand Birding: Nesting Birds
June 25th, 2013 Nick The majority of Thailand’s breeding birds nest between March and July, making this a great time to see many resident species as they construct nests, display and feed their young.

Birds In Bangkok | Thailand Birding
June 9th, 2013 Nick Although I have lived in in the city since 1996 I am always amazed that there remain lots of birds in Bangkok. I am not talking about the birding sites just outside of the city, I am referring to the birds which somehow manage to make a living within the concrete jungle itself. There are [...]
