Thailand Birding: Nesting Birds
June 25th, 2013 Nick The majority of Thailand’s breeding birds nest between March and July, making this a great time to see many resident species as they construct nests, display and feed their young. In the forest this means that many of the resident species that can be very hard to find for much of the year suddenly become [...]

Birds In Bangkok | Thailand Birding
June 9th, 2013 Nick Although I have lived in in the city since 1996 I am always amazed that there remain lots of birds in Bangkok. I am not talking about the birding sites just outside of the city, I am referring to the birds which somehow manage to make a living within the concrete jungle itself. There are [...]

May 9th, 2013 Nick It is mid May now and all but a few of the commoner shorebirds have left Thailand and returned to their breeding grounds further north. However, there are always a small numbers of shorebirds to be found, mostly birds in their first year that did not mature enough to head to their breeding grounds and [...]

Thailand Birding: More Migrants In The Park
April 16th, 2013 Nick With the weather conditions seemingly still good for finding grounded migrants I made my third trip in three days to Nakorn Sri Kuan Kan park, hoping that I could find a much anticipated “lifer” – Siberian Thrush or Narcissus Flycatcher were in my mind as possible species. Arriving early, at around 6.30am, things were pretty [...]
