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.

National Races Village, Yangon – Birding in Myanmar
January 31st, 2020 Nick A little research on eBird showed me that a few interesting sightings had been made at the National Races Village in the eastern suburbs of Yangon.
