Bird Persecution Using Mist Nets: Thailand Birding
May 22nd, 2016 Nick A couple of days ago on 20th May I was birding in the rice fields near Petchaburi, enjoying the spectacle of Weavers nesting.

Ancient Birds of Angkor: Birding in Cambodia

Mangrove Birding: Birding in Thailand
April 14th, 2016 Nick Mangroves can be a very tough environment for birding in due to the low density of birds, low number of species and the often fragmented habitat with limited access. However, over the last week I have visited a couple of areas of mangroves in Southern Thailand where the birding has been surprisingly good and I [...]

Sanderlings Feeding & Rhynchokinesis – Thailand Birding
March 30th, 2016 Nick A few days ago I visited Pranburi Forest Park in Prachuab Kiri Khan province for a few hours in the afternoon. There was not a lot to be seen in the mangroves and the coastal woodland, just a single Forest Wagtail, some Malaysian Pied Fantails, an Indian Roller and a few Golden-bellied Gerygones. However, on [...]
