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 [...]

Watching Rusty-naped Pitta: Thailand Birding
February 11th, 2016 Nick Pittas are one of the most sought-after group of birds in Thailand as well as one of the hardest to observe so it is always a special experience to see any of the species that occur here. Of all the Pittas in Thailand, Rusty-naped is one of the hardest to see when bird watching in [...]

Birding in Petchaburi Province: Thailand Birding
February 7th, 2016 Nick I sometimes wonder where the best place to live in Thailand is in terms of the potential for the best birding.

Birding at Laem Pak Bia & Pak Thale: Thailand Birding
December 26th, 2015 Nick The twin sites of Laem Pak Bia and Pak Thale on the Gulf of Thailand are well-known for being a great place for watching shorebirds.

Cavenham Heath Stone Curlews: British Birding
August 23rd, 2015 Nick On my way back from the British Birdwatching Fair I made a little detour to Cavenham Heath National Nature Reserve in Suffolk to search for Stone Curlews. Last year I was told about this area by another birder as a location where Stone Curlews gather before migrating and I saw quite some number of them [...]

Seabirds at St Bees: British Birding
August 16th, 2015 Nick Doing most of my birding in Thailand I do not get to see seabirds very often; only on my visits back to UK. So, as part of my visit to the north east of England I decided to pay a visit to the RSPB’s clifftop reserve at St Bees Head well aware that it was [...]
