A couple of days ago I spent the day with Phil Round touring around a few sites in Petchaburi province. We began with Khao Look Chang, to look for Black-headed Woodpecker, then moved on to Laem Pak Bia, Wat Khao Takrao and then, finally, Nong Pla Lai. Although early June is not the time of [...]

Rice Fields Near Petchaburi – Thailand Birding
May 27th, 2013 Nick Rice fields around the provincial capital of Petchaburi are at their most productive for birds in the dry season when there are lots of migrant species present, perhaps most notably large raptors. However, during the wet season this area of agriculture has some ornithological attractions that are not available in the drier months. A few [...]

However, there are always a small numbers of shorebirds to be found, mostly birds in their first year that did not mature enough to head to their breeding grounds and [...]

Arriving early, at around 6.30am, things were pretty [...]
Thailand Birding: Sri Nakorn Kuan Kan Park Again

In terms of seeing different species from the previous day it was [...]

Thailand Birding: Sri Nakorn Kuan Kan – More Migrants
April 14th, 2013 Nick With migration still underway I decided that another trip to Sri Nakorn Kuan Kan park was in order, particularly considering it is not far from where I live. I arrived a little too early, just before 6am, and found myself having to wait a little while for it to become light enough for birding. By [...]

Thailand Birding: Migrants at Sri Nakorn Kuan Kan Park
April 7th, 2013 Nick Yesterday morning I paid a visit to Sri Nakorn Kuan Kan park, close to where I live in Bangkok. This spot can be very good for migrants at this time of year so I was hoping for some good birds passing through. As it turned out, although there were quite a few migrant species to [...]
