On 17th February I took a boat trip onto the sand spit at Laem Pak Bia accompanied by six British birders and Mr Daeng to look for White-faced Plover. On arriving at the sand spit a number of large gulls drew our attention including 5 Pallas’s Gulls and a Black-tailed Gull. Whilst watching these several [...]

Bird Watching at Khao Yai – Thailand Birding
February 16th, 2015 Nick Khao Yai national park has long been a favourite place for birders to visit, but birding there can be a bit hit and miss; at its best there can be plenty of sightings of colourful and enigmatic forest species; on other days it can be hard to see anything much at all, particularly with the [...]

Lung Sin Waterhole – Thailand Birding
January 1st, 2015 Nick Last week I made a visit to Lung Sin waterhole at Kaeng Krachan national park. As ever it was a popular place with birders and photographers and it was essential to book a place in the hide; the staff at Ban Maka did this for me. There has been no rain for many weeks in [...]

Limestone Wren Babbler in Kanchanaburi – Thailand Birding
May 16th, 2014 Nick More than 10 years ago I visited Hellfire Pass, in Kanchanaburi, because I was interested in the history of World War II from that area.

May 16th, 2014 Nick A few days ago I got up early and drove to Huay Mae Taeng Reservoir in Ratchaburi province; leaving at 5am I was there for around 6.30. Unfortunately the water level was high so there was only a little marginal habitat in which to find birds, on top of which a large area on the [...]

Nesting Small Pratincole – Thailand Birding
May 3rd, 2014 Nick A few weeks ago I found myself in the town of Chachoengsao with time to kill, so I drove out to Klong Si Yat Reservoir, a location I had passed in 2013 on my way to somewhere else, in order to see what I could find there. Most of the species I found were the [...]

Last of the Migrants? – Thailand Birding
April 23rd, 2014 Nick This morning I spent a few hours at Sri Nakorn Kuen Khan park to see if I could find some interesting migrant birds – there is always the chance of something really rare at this time of year. Despite arriving early the heat and humidity was very uncomfortable from the beginning (7am) and there were [...]
