Rainy Season Birding; Kaeng Krachan – Thailand Birding
July 2nd, 2015 Nick Pittas are perhaps the most sought-after group of birds in Thailand by visiting and resident birders alike. Their combination of intricate plumage and difficulty to see make them very desirable but they are at their easiest to see in the wet season, when they are breeding, and at a time when few birders visit Thailand.

Photos from Huay Mae Taeng Reservoir – Thailand Birding
May 16th, 2014 Nick A few days ago I got up early and drove to Huay Mae Taeng Reservoir in Ratchaburi province; leaving at 5am I was there for around 6.30. Unfortunately the water level was high so there was only a little marginal habitat in which to find birds, on top of which a large area on the [...]
