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 [...]

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. Certainly they are nice to see and many people are very happy to finally catch up with Asian Golden Weaver here but seeing these birds in non-breeding plumage is not much [...]

North & Central Thailand Birding Tour – Thailand Birding

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.

January 18th, 2017 Nick Just yesterday I finished a nice trip which lasted for 8 days of birding in Petchaburi province with a group of birders from Wales. Although the first day of the trip was plagued by some really awful weather, and more was forecast, we had some really good birding in a number of sites which gave [...]

“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 – [...]

Photography at Ban Song Nok – Thailand Birding
November 27th, 2016 Nick Getting really close to birds and watching them go about their business is just about the best way to really appreciate them; even some of the apparently dull and very common birds can suddenly reveal themselves to be very interesting. There is probably no better place to be able to do this than some of [...]
