Just 45 minutes away by car from my mother’s home I can get to Ashdown Forest. This is a great place to find a number of woodland and heathland birds that are not easily seen in Southern England outside of the best habitat and today I made a visit to this very scenic area. In [...]

Birding Nanhui, Shanghai – China Birding
May 14th, 2017 
Nick I recently returned from leading a birding tour to Southeast China where we enjoyed some large numbers of shorebirds, range-restricted forest species and a wide variety of passage migrants. We flew in and out of Shanghai, traveling around this and neighbouring provinces, and one site, just outside of Shanghai provided me with my first birding in [...]
Spring Birding in UK – British Birding
May 11th, 2017 Nick Having recently spent 2 weeks in China, then just 1 day back in Thailand, I find myself back in UK with the opportunity to walk out of the front door and see a whole load of breeding farmland birds within seconds. Spring is in full flow with lots of birds singing and even a few [...]

Beach Thick-knee Close Up – Thailand Birding

Both of my trips took me to this site after some birding in the mangroves and on both occasions I was lucky enough to see this weird and wonderful [...]
Oriental Plover at Pranburi – Thailand Birding
March 29th, 2017 Nick Last night I was driving home from Southern Thailand and as it got dark I decided to spend the night somewhere before continuing the journey the next day. As I was close to Hua Hin I thought I would find somewhere to stay near Pranburi Forest park and check the location for passage migrants the [...]
