Baan Maka Nature Lodge is always a nice place to stay near Kaeng Krachan national park in western Thailand and I was lucky enough to have Ian and Games as my host for a night while I checked out a few birding spots around Petchaburi province over the last few days. Things are very wet [...]

Autumn Colours at Knole Park – British Birding
October 19th, 2018 Nick With a few hours to spare I took a short drive to Knole Park in Sevenoals, Kent, to see if I could find any Redwings which have started to arrive from Scandinavia. It was great that I saw my first one very shortly after I arrived but it took some time before I got a [...]

Early Morning Walk in the Woods – Austria Birding
October 16th, 2018 Nick One of the nicest things about arriving in a new place is finding some interesting habitat and going out to see what birds can be found there. I enjoy this far more than going anywhere in the expectation of seeing any particular species with the pressure that can put upon oneself which can spoil a [...]

For birders Autumn is not really the time to visit but I spent some time birding in the mountains while on a general touristic visit [...]

Predatory Gulls | Bird Behaviour
August 11th, 2018 Nick It might look fluffy and cute but this young Lesser Black-backed Gull was already enjoying the fruits of a predatory lifestyle when I photographed it at the end of July growing fat on a diet of freshly fledged Pufflings! While sitting, watching Puffins go in and out of their burrows to go out and catch [...]
Colour Ringed Great Black-backed Gull | British Birding
August 9th, 2018 Nick In July I took a boat trip from Amble, in Northumbria, UK, out to Coquet Island to see the Roseate Terns that nest there. It was a nice, one hour, boat trip that gave me good views of lots of Roseate Terns feeding their chicks as well as plenty of Puffins, Kittiwakes, Razorbills, Guillemots, Sandwich [...]
