River Lapwing is a species that has declined considerably in Thailand due to human disturbance along rivers as well as habitat destruction, particularly along parts of the Mekong. However, there is one river in southern Thailand that seems to have a small population of this handsome bird that is doing ok. The Takua Pa river [...]

Birding by the Beach at Pranburi | Thailand Birding
July 16th, 2020 Nick Thailand is an excellent country for a bird watching trip with a wide variety and number of impressive species. However, many birders come to Thailand for a more touristic trip with their non-birding partners and most of these will spend at least some time at one of Thailand’s famous beaches.

Little Egret Foot Stirring Feeding Technique | Bird Behaviour
May 6th, 2020 Nick Actually watching birds is something that a lot of birders forget to do. By this I mean that all too often bird watchers get their thrill from seeing a new bird for their list, be it their life list, local patch list or just their day list. I think we have all fallen into this [...]
Thailand’s Wading Birds in Flight | Thailand Birding
April 30th, 2020 Nick Wading birds (shorebirds to some) are group much-beloved by some birders but equally they often elicite a response of “I don’t do shorebirds” from others. I have accompanied birders with both attitudes to the Gulf of Thailand, which is undoubtedly one of the best locations in the world to observe waders. Those who love wading [...]
