One of my favourite locations when birding in UK is Shellness on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent. Invariably I have the place more or less to myself and it is a remarkably wild place considering how close to London it is but the main attraction is the fact that it forms a high tide [...]

Winter Wildfowl | South Korea Birding
January 18th, 2019 Nick Having recently returned from leading my third winter birding tour to South Korea I have some time to reflect on different aspects of this excellent trip.

Gulls at Bang Poo | Thailand Birding
November 19th, 2013 Nick Every “winter” the gull flock at Bang Poo is more than 2000 birds strong and with ever-increasing numbers of Thai day trippers feeding the gulls this large flock of gulls is likely to remain a feature of birding in Thailand. A Lesser Black-backed Gull had been seen there a few weeks back, only Thailand’s second [...]
Birding at Suan Luang in the Afternoon | Thailand Birding
May 3rd, 2008 Nick It is important to go out at the right time of the day when bird watching in Thailand and I was recently reminded of this when I took a late afternoon trip to do some birding at Suan Luang as I was bored with lurking around the house.
