A couple of days ago on 20th May I was birding in the rice fields near Petchaburi, enjoying the spectacle of Weavers nesting. Baya Weaver colonies seem to be in every small tree, their complicated nests apparently in a constant state of construction, and plenty of small colonies of Asian Golden Weaver are in beds [...]

Kaeng Krachan & Nearby Sites: Thailand Birding
May 6th, 2016 Nick I have just finished a week away birding at Kaeng Krachan National Park and some nearby sites where we found a lot of really superb birds even though conditions made birding really difficult most of the time.

Mangrove Birding: Birding in Thailand
April 14th, 2016 Nick Mangroves can be a very tough environment for birding in due to the low density of birds, low number of species and the often fragmented habitat with limited access.

Sanderlings Feeding & Rhynchokinesis – Thailand Birding
March 30th, 2016 Nick A few days ago I visited Pranburi Forest Park in Prachuab Kiri Khan province for a few hours in the afternoon. There was not a lot to be seen in the mangroves and the coastal woodland, just a single Forest Wagtail, some Malaysian Pied Fantails, an Indian Roller and a few Golden-bellied Gerygones. However, on [...]

More Photos from Laem Pak Bia – Thailand Birding
March 28th, 2016 Nick Yesterday, for a second day, I found myself with time alone to visit Laem Pak Bia and Pak Thale. Shorebird numbers were very low compared to a few weeks ago so it appears that most birds have already left for their breeding grounds. I still managed to see 1 Spoon-billed Sandpiper at Pak Thale even [...]

A Morning at Sri Nakorn Kuen Khan – Thailand Birding
March 24th, 2016 Nick After a pleasant few days off from a hectic birding schedule spanning the last 4 months I decided to go to Sri Nakorn Kuen Khan Park, near my home in Bangkok, to see if I could find any interesting passage migrants. In fact, March seems to be the peak time for Zappey’s Flycatcher in Thailand [...]
