March 17th, 2019 Nick Heavy rain yesterday morning foiled my attempt to go birding at Sri Nakorn Kuean Khan Park but today the skies were clear and I got a taxi from home to the park, arriving at 6.45am. Getting out of the air-conditioned taxi I was immediately hit with high temperatures and even higher humidity – the previous [...]

Watching Nesting Weavers – Bird Behaviour
May 30th, 2018 Nick For much of the year the three species of weavers in Thailand are rather dull birds which are normally seen feeding within rice fields.

A Big Wader Day – Thailand Birding
December 29th, 2017 Nick Early morning at Pak Thale always provides a sense of anticipation for visiting birders with the Critically Endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper the much-desired prize. This was the feeling on stepping out of the vehicle at 7am on 23rd December with Graham and Penny Lower with the challenge being to find them a Spoonie with which to [...]
