I started birding by going on long country walks in England with birds being perhaps the most accessible category of wildlife to enjoy along the way.

For migrating birds heading over this large area of urbanization these green areas provide much-needed rest areas as well as the opportunity to feed and gain the energy required to continue migration.

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 [...]]]> http://dartfordwaffler.co.uk/daap-toon-hide-at-kaeng-krachan-thailand-birding/feed/ 0 http://dartfordwaffler.co.uk/birding-phuttamonthon-park-thailand-birding/ http://dartfordwaffler.co.uk/birding-phuttamonthon-park-thailand-birding/#comments Sun, 23 Jan 2022 07:01:42 +0000 Nick http://dartfordwaffler.co.uk/?p=23296 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.

However, many birders come to Thailand for a more touristic trip with their non-birding partners and most of these will spend at least some time at one of Thailand’s famous beaches.
