Each year I look forward to late March and April when I usually have time to make several visits to Sri Nakorn Kuen Khan Park, which is not far from where I live in Bangkok, in order to see which interesting passage migrants I can find. So far in 2015 I have made six visits [...]

Over the last month I have made several visits to Kaeng Krachan National Park where the birding has been getting better and better and I have found many colourful resident species consistently; 6 species of Broadbill on each of my last three visits has been particularly enjoyable and something that is practically impossible to achieve [...]

On 17th February I took a boat trip onto the sand spit at Laem Pak Bia accompanied by six British birders and Mr Daeng to look for White-faced Plover. On arriving at the sand spit a number of large gulls drew our attention including 5 Pallas’s Gulls and a Black-tailed Gull. Whilst watching these several [...]

Khao Yai national park has long been a favourite place for birders to visit, but birding there can be a bit hit and miss; at its best there can be plenty of sightings of colourful and enigmatic forest species; on other days it can be hard to see anything much at all, particularly with the [...]

Last week I made a visit to Lung Sin waterhole at Kaeng Krachan national park. As ever it was a popular place with birders and photographers and it was essential to book a place in the hide; the staff at Ban Maka did this for me. There has been no rain for many weeks in [...]

More than 10 years ago I visited Hellfire Pass, in Kanchanaburi, because I was interested in the history of World War II from that area. As the site was partially forested I took my binoculars and was lucky enough to see a pair of Limestone Wren Babblers, the crispifrons race rather than the calcicola race [...]

A few days ago I got up early and drove to Huay Mae Taeng Reservoir in Ratchaburi province; leaving at 5am I was there for around 6.30. Unfortunately the water level was high so there was only a little marginal habitat in which to find birds, on top of which a large area on the [...]
