Hlawga National Park, Yangon | Birding in Myanmar

As part of a short trip of a few days to Yangon, Myanmar, I have been doing some birding in and around the city. Having visited a few parks within the city itself, over the last few days, this morning I took a taxi ride an hour north to Hlawga National Park. This location is [...]

An Afternoon at Nui Hide – Thailand Birding

Over the last few years I have visited a number of hides that are dotted around Kaeng Krachan National Park in Western Thailand, all of which are great to visit if you want to get close up views of birds. These hides always provide birders with superb views of lots of common forest birds but [...]
