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 [...]
More Photos from Laem Pak Bia – Thailand Birding
March 28th, 2016 Nick Yesterday, for a second day, I found myself with time alone to visit Laem Pak Bia and Pak Thale.

Photos From Cambodia Birding Tour
March 21st, 2016 Nick Yesterday I returned to Thailand after leading a successful birding tour to Cambodia to see a number of mainland Southeast Asia’s most endangered species alongside Sophoan Sanh of the Sam Veasna Centre. 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 [...]
Birding Around Angkor Wat | Cambodia Birding
March 9th, 2016 Nick Birding around one of the world’s most famous landmarks, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, this morning was a strange experience, not quite knowing whether to look at the birds in the surrounding woodland or the magnificent ruins that loomed over us wherever we stopped. We entered the grounds of Angkor Wat from a little-used gate, having [...]
