After a pleasant few days off from a hectic birding schedule spanning the last 4 months I decided to go to Sri Nakorn Kuen Khan Park, near my home in Bangkok, to see if I could find any interesting passage migrants. In fact, March seems to be the peak time for Zappey’s Flycatcher in Thailand [...]

Great Birding at Kaeng Krachan – Thailand Birding
March 7th, 2016 Nick A few days ago I spent three days birding at Kaeng Krachan with a group of visiting birders from UK and it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable and productive visits to this national park that I have had in a very long time. In contrast to a visit last week, when [...]

North & Central Thailand Tour, February 2016 – Thailand Birding
February 28th, 2016 Nick For the last seventeen days I havebeen in Northern and Central Thailand.

Birding at Laem Pak Bia & Pak Thale: Thailand Birding
December 26th, 2015 Nick The twin sites of Laem Pak Bia and Pak Thale on the Gulf of Thailand are well-known for being a great place for watching shorebirds. It has been suggested by an increasing number of birders that it may, in fact, be the best shorebird site in the world. Indeed it is hard to think of [...]

Baikal Bush Warbler Abundance: Thailand Birding
September 15th, 2015 Nick Bush Warblers are a group of birds that are extremely difficult to observe on their wintering grounds even when they are abundant and few people manage many/any observations of these birds when visiting Thailand. Baikal Bush Warbler was split from Spotted Bush Warbler some years ago and range maps for this taxon show that it [...]
