Most mornings at Pak Thale there are huge congregations of large waterbirds, mostly egrets but over recent weeks more and more other species have been joining them. Up until a few weeks ago there had been hardly any Indian Cormorants or Painted Storks in the area but there has been an influx; I guess that [...]

Thailand Birding: Black-headed Ibis
February 21st, 2013 
Nick A few days ago I was in the area of Wat Khao Takrao, near Petchaburi, when I noticed a few Black-headed Ibises very close to the road. I very frequently see these birds in this area at all times of the year, but usually sightings are fairly distant and often made worse by heat haze, [...]
Thailand Birding: A Morning in the Rice Fields
February 16th, 2013 Nick This morning I spent a few hours birding in rice fields near the Nong Pla Lai raptor watch site in Petchaburi province. This area hosts large numbers of birds and a high number of species in the dry season and I very rarely get to spend time here on my own, so it was nice [...]
Thailand Birding: Indochinese Bushlark In Close Up
February 12th, 2013 Nick A few days ago I was just outside the gate of Kaeng Krachan national park with some visiting bird watchers trying to get a good look at an Indochinese Bushlark. We checked all the regular spots, scanned all the wires for singing birds but nothing! Finally I heard one singing from the ground and we [...]
Thailand Birding: Birding At Kaeng Krachan

However, what was lost in bird activity we made up for with quality [...]
Thailand Birding: A Few Days At Pak Thale & Laem Pak Bia
January 30th, 2013 Nick The dreary weather in Thailand continues and we had to deal with drizzle, mist and low cloud today at Pak Thale and Laem Pak Bia where one would normally expect blue skies and intense sun. Trying to spot shorebirds in these poor viewing conditions was not easy but at least we did not have to [...]
Thailand Birding: A Few Days At Khao Yai
January 29th, 2013 Nick From 27th to 29th January I spent time at Khao Yai national park with a group of birders from UK. Fresh from a very successful northern leg of our trip expectations were high for some great birds at Khao Yai. When we arrived to absolutely awful weather conditions with unseasonal persistent rain and very poor [...]
