Farmland birds are in decline across Britain and indeed pretty much everywhere in the world I have been. When I am back in the UK I am able to take a lot of walks through arable farmland which still has a decent population of some farmland species that are in decline across their ranges so [...]

Enjoying The Birds You See – Thailand Birding
June 18th, 2018 
Nick Sometimes, as birders, we can heap pressure upon ourselves to see certain species and quite frequently the expectations that build up when anticipating a birding trip can be a little unrealistic in terms of entertaining ideas of “cleaning up”.

At the rear of the temple is a canal [...]

With primary lowland rainforest covering much of the park it is home to many species which are hard to see as well as many that have become very scarce due to habitat destruction making any visit here highly-anticipated.
