Daap Toon Hide at Kaeng Krachan | Thailand Birding

What I most enjoy is taking long walks in beautiful countryside and being able to see a wealth of bird life along the way. In temperate countries this is a very pleasant way of bird watching and usually by covering a lot of ground and different habitats brings a lot of bird sightings but in [...]

Beach Birding in August | British Birding

Some birding locations are great to visit because they are new and exciting to explore, with all the possibilities of seeing new birds that goes with that.

Birding at Cat Tien National Park – Vietnam Birding

Lumphini Park is well-known and well-visited by birders and over recent years Rot Fai Park and the adjacent Queen Sirikit Park have become favourites with birdwatchers in Bangkok. However, Benjakitti Park may well become a regular in the Bangkok birding [...]

Oriental Scops Owl

Birding Phuttamonthon Park | Thailand Birding

When I first came to Thailand one of the first birds I saw was Oriental Scops Owl. I was walking around in a seldom-visited part of Khao Yai national park and a park ranger called me over and pointed out a pair of these tiny owls roosting, just a few feet off of the ground. [...]
