A little research on eBird showed me that a few interesting sightings had been made at the National Races Village in the eastern suburbs of Yangon. With some time to kill in the city I decided to take a taxi out there and see what I could find. Although the name of the location sounds [...]

Hlawga National Park, Yangon | Birding in Myanmar
January 29th, 2020 Nick As part of a short trip of a few days to Yangon, Myanmar, I have been doing some birding in and around the city. Having visited a few parks within the city itself, over the last few days, this morning I took a taxi ride an hour north to Hlawga National Park. This location is [...]

An Afternoon at Nui Hide – Thailand Birding
January 21st, 2020 Nick Over the last few years I have visited a number of hides that are dotted around Kaeng Krachan National Park in Western Thailand, all of which are great to visit if you want to get close up views of birds. These hides always provide birders with superb views of lots of common forest birds but [...]

One Hundred Species at Lat Krabang Rice Fields | Thailand Birding
December 23rd, 2019 Nick Although I have lived in “Bangkok” for many years I hardly ever do any birding within the province of Bangkok itself. The main reason for this is that I have always lived close to, or just into the next province of Samut Prakan. Today I found myself with some time and decided to visit a [...]

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 [...]

Gunung Kerinci Birds | Birding Indonesia
October 1st, 2019 Nick As the second highest mountain in Indonesia, Gunung Kerinci is well-known and a popular hiking destination but it is also one of the most accessible sites for a host of bird species that are endemic to the island of Sumatra. I recently returned from another visit to the forests on the slopes of this volcano [...]
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 [...]
