For the vast majority of tourists to Thailand the primary focus of the trip will not be birding. Even for many birders a holiday to Thailand is a non-birding, family holiday which locates them away from prime bird watching sites and over the last few days I have found myself in that situation taking a [...]

Migrants, Heat & Humidity – Thailand Birding
March 17th, 2019 Nick Heavy rain yesterday morning foiled my attempt to go birding at Sri Nakorn Kuean Khan Park but today the skies were clear and I got a taxi from home to the park, arriving at 6.45am. Getting out of the air-conditioned taxi I was immediately hit with high temperatures and even higher humidity – the previous [...]

A Morning at Fang Hot Springs – Thailand Birding
March 16th, 2019 Nick I often visit Fang Hot Springs very briefly, stopping to see the Spot-winged Grosbeaks and then leaving but recently while leading a Thailand birding tour I was able to enjoy a longer session of birding at this pleasant location. In the early morning there is always a lot of bird activity and staying nearby at Tangerine [...]

Lung Sin Waterhole; Besra Alert – Thailand Birding

Birding at Mae Ping National Park | Thailand Birding
February 26th, 2019 Nick As part of a recent birding tour I led in January/February we made a visit to Mae Ping National Park in Lamphun province, Thailand. This site consists mainly of dry dipterocarp woodland which has little variation within it, with only a few pine trees and damp gullies providing any other vegetation types, meaning that avian biodiversity [...]
Becoming a Gull-Watcher in Winter | South Korea Birding
January 23rd, 2019 Nick To say that gull watching is an acquired taste would be to ignore the fact that many birders never do acquire the taste. However, on two consecutive tours to South Korea many of those accompanying me have started out as skeptics but have quickly found watching large numbers of gulls and a wide variety of [...]

Winter Wildfowl | South Korea Birding
January 18th, 2019 Nick Having recently returned from leading my third winter birding tour to South Korea I have some time to reflect on different aspects of this excellent trip. While the big draw is to see large numbers of Red-crowned, Hooded & White-naped Cranes, Steller’s Sea Eagle, Relict Gull, Oriental Stork and many other rare and range-restricted East [...]
