Actually watching birds is something that a lot of birders forget to do. By this I mean that all too often bird watchers get their thrill from seeing a new bird for their list, be it their life list, local patch list or just their day list. I think we have all fallen into this [...]

Oare Marshes Watch Point | British Birding
October 6th, 2019 
Nick When I am in UK one of my favourite places to go birding is Kent Wildlife Trust‘s Oare Marshes reserve. It is one of those places that is always pleasant to go birding because it is a nice place to be and has the benefit of seemingly always having large numbers of birds of a [...]

A Trip to Titchwell Bird Reserve | British Birding
August 8th, 2019 Nick When I visit Norfolk one of my favourite places is RSPB Titchwell. Now I know not all birdwatchers will agree with me on this as Titchwell can get very busy with day-trippers and beginner birdwatchers that annoy some hard-core birders but what I like about this location is that there are always large numbers of [...]

Tropical Shellness | British Birding
July 26th, 2019 Nick One of my favourite locations when birding in UK is Shellness on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent. Invariably I have the place more or less to myself and it is a remarkably wild place considering how close to London it is but the main attraction is the fact that it forms a high tide [...]

Destruction and Fragmentation of Wildlife Habitats | British Birding
July 17th, 2019 Nick A few days ago I saw an appeal to sign a petition to save a small area of wildlife habitat in my hometown of Dartford in England which has been described as a “wildlife gem” where birds such as Sedge Warbler, Reed Bunting, Cetti’s Warbler and Nightingale have occurred. There is precious little habitat for [...]

Birding at Mae Ping National Park | Thailand Birding
February 26th, 2019 Nick As part of a recent birding tour I led in January/February we made a visit to Mae Ping National Park in Lamphun province, Thailand. This site consists mainly of dry dipterocarp woodland which has little variation within it, with only a few pine trees and damp gullies providing any other vegetation types, meaning that avian biodiversity [...]
Birding Highlights of 2018
January 3rd, 2019 Nick Happy New Year! I am looking forward to what I have planned ahead in 2019 with a birding trip starting in South Korea tomorrow but over the last few days I have also been thinking about some of my birding highlights in 2018. As usual I did a lot of birding in Thailand, which always [...]
