King’s Projects – Thailand Birding
October 13th, 2016 Nick For all of us who love Thailand October 13th 2016 is a very sad day with the passing of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, aged 88.

Bird Persecution Using Mist Nets: Thailand Birding
May 22nd, 2016 Nick A couple of days ago on 20th May I was birding in the rice fields near Petchaburi, enjoying the spectacle of Weavers nesting.

May 6th, 2016 Nick I have just finished a week away birding at Kaeng Krachan National Park and some nearby sites where we found a lot of really superb birds even though conditions made birding really difficult most of the time.
