River Lapwing is a species that has declined considerably in Thailand due to human disturbance along rivers as well as habitat destruction, particularly along parts of the Mekong. However, there is one river in southern Thailand that seems to have a small population of this handsome bird that is doing ok. The Takua Pa river [...]

Autumn Birds on Isle of Sheppey | British Birding
October 9th, 2020 Nick Another window in the blustery and wet weather conditions yesterday gave me the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. Where to go?

Isle of Grain & Hoo Peninsula Birds | British Birding
October 6th, 2020 Nick It was with some sense of relief that I looked out of the window this morning and saw that after several days of awful weather the skies had finally cleared so a birding excursion was quickly planned.

Chelmarsh Reservoir | British Birding

July 16th, 2020 Nick Thailand is an excellent country for a bird watching trip with a wide variety and number of impressive species. 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. I recently spent a few [...]

Visiting Bang Khaem Fishponds | Thailand Birding
June 5th, 2020 Nick Recently I have been visiting birdwatching sites that I have either never been to before or visit very seldom. While it is always nice to go to well-known birding locations where certain key species are know to be found, I also enjoy going to relatively unknown sites and seeing what can be found. In this [...]
