Over the course of 17 days we visited most of the best birding sites in Northern and Central Thailand with a short incursion into the Northeastern region and the only reason we were not able [...]]]> http://dartfordwaffler.co.uk/north-central-thailand-birding-tour-thailand-birding/feed/ 0 http://dartfordwaffler.co.uk/north-central-thailand-tour-february-2016-thailand-birding/ http://dartfordwaffler.co.uk/north-central-thailand-tour-february-2016-thailand-birding/#comments Sun, 28 Feb 2016 14:53:20 +0000 Nick http://dartfordwaffler.co.uk/?p=1228 For the last seventeen days I havebeen in Northern and Central Thailand. This year we saw over 470 species in the 17 days of the trip with another 5 leader-seen-only and 10 heard only species recorded despite some unusual weather conditions resulting in some difficult birding at several locations. Some personal highlights included Rusty-naped Pitta, Green [...]]]> http://dartfordwaffler.co.uk/north-central-thailand-tour-february-2016-thailand-birding/feed/ 0 http://dartfordwaffler.co.uk/rainy-season-birding-khao-yai-thailand-birding/ http://dartfordwaffler.co.uk/rainy-season-birding-khao-yai-thailand-birding/#comments Thu, 25 Jun 2015 14:33:47 +0000 Nick http://dartfordwaffler.co.uk/?p=1000 The rainy season this year should perhaps be renamed the “grey skies & windy season” after the experience of the last few days birding at Khao Yai. However, there were some sunny spells and the weather certainly did not stop us from finding some great birds, although it took a fair amount of patience from [...]]]> http://dartfordwaffler.co.uk/rainy-season-birding-khao-yai-thailand-birding/feed/ 0 http://dartfordwaffler.co.uk/searching-for-short-tailed-parrotbill-at-pu-suan-sai-national-park-thailand-birding/ http://dartfordwaffler.co.uk/searching-for-short-tailed-parrotbill-at-pu-suan-sai-national-park-thailand-birding/#comments Sun, 17 May 2015 13:48:47 +0000 Nick http://dartfordwaffler.co.uk/?p=946 Short-tailed Parrotbill is a species which, in Thailand, is restricted to a small corner of the country with the most sightings being made at Pu Suan Sai National Park in Loei province.

We all have high hopes when starting a birding trip but all those who have been bird watching for some time will know that it is not always easy to find the species that make the trip a success.
