Just yesterday I finished a nice trip which lasted for 8 days of birding in Petchaburi province with a group of birders from Wales.

“Wasteland” as a Bird Habitat – Thailand Birding
November 30th, 2016 Nick On a recent bird photography trip in Petchaburi province myself and Colin Rogers spent some time photographing a number of common species in a quite ugly scrap of “wasteland”. At first glance the area looks of little value with scrubby invasive bushes, piles of illegally dumped rubbish, murky pools of water and rutted tracks – [...]

Shorebird Heaven – Thailand Birding
November 12th, 2016 Nick As I will be heading back to Pak Thale & Laem Pak Bia for a few days tomorrow I thought I would process some of my photos from my last visit on 3-4th November.

Late October Migrants – Thailand Birding
October 29th, 2016 Nick I often spend a morning looking for migrants Sri Nakorn Kuen Khan Park during the Spring migration in March/April, when it can be very good birding, but have never visited during Autumn migration in September/October due to the fact that I am usually back in UK.

October 13th, 2016 Nick For all of us who love Thailand October 13th 2016 is a very sad day with the passing of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, aged 88. Apart from his steadying influence on Thailand, the way his activities most affected me were in the many Royal Projects that he initiated that are good places for birding. King Bhumibol [...]

Bird Persecution Using Mist Nets: Thailand Birding
May 22nd, 2016 Nick A couple of days ago on 20th May I was birding in the rice fields near Petchaburi, enjoying the spectacle of Weavers nesting. Baya Weaver colonies seem to be in every small tree, their complicated nests apparently in a constant state of construction, and plenty of small colonies of Asian Golden Weaver are in beds [...]
