Birding by the Beach at Pranburi | Thailand Birding

National Races Village, Yangon – Birding in Myanmar

A little research on eBird showed me that a few interesting sightings had been made at the National Races Village in the eastern suburbs of Yangon. With some time to kill in the city I decided to take a taxi out there and see what I could find. Although the name of the location sounds [...]
