Yesterday, for a second day, I found myself with time alone to visit Laem Pak Bia and Pak Thale. Shorebird numbers were very low compared to a few weeks ago so it appears that most birds have already left for their breeding grounds. I still managed to see 1 Spoon-billed Sandpiper at Pak Thale even [...]

Photos from Laem Pak Bia – Thailand Birding
March 26th, 2016
Nick This afternoon I spent a few hours at Laem Pak Bia photographing birds. It was one of those rare times when I was out on my own so I did not have any particular need to see anything in particular, I simply enjoyed whatever species presented themselves at close range so that I could attempt [...]
A Morning at Sri Nakorn Kuen Khan – Thailand Birding
March 24th, 2016
Nick 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.

Photos From Cambodia Birding Tour

We enjoyed great views of a very high proportion of our target birds including a point-blank encounter with a pair of Chestnut-headed Partridges [...]

We entered the grounds of Angkor Wat from a little-used gate, having [...]
Photography at Huay Mae Taeng – Thailand Birding
March 8th, 2016
Nick Over the last month I have made a couple of visits to Huay Mae Taeng reservoir in Ratchaburi province, Thailand. The water level is extremely low, exposing large areas of grassland habitat which is used by lots of Paddyfield Pipits and Oriental Skylarks; in fact I am not sure there is a better place to [...]
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 [...]
