    Keang Krachan NP - road beyond Bang Krang closed for 18 months

    If you are planning on visiting Keang Krachan NP within the next 18 months the road between Bang Krang campsite and Paneom Tung will be closed for 500+ days whilst they resurface the road. No doubt a large increase in visitors will follow, along with speeding cars and less wildlife.

    Norfolk birding

    Brent Geese The Brent were back much earlier than usual in Brancaster Harbour, with the first adults noted Sept 9th, 10-14 days earlier than normal, with numbers quickly building over subsequent days, always a sign of a poor breeding season. At the time I suggested to others that there would be...

    RFI: Gurney's Pitta still at Khao Nor Chuchi?

    Gurneys Pitta Hi Temmie I guess the lack of responses to your post says a lot. January was never a good time to try and see Gurneys at KNC, but it seems like the situation there is depressing, few birds left and probably on the verge of being lost from the site. The site probably still...

    Are you sure about the Swallows, a flock of 100 in March would be exceptional, given the current weather conditions this year, one would be pretty impressive. This year could be first time for many years without any March records. We all make mistakes www.norfolkbirderinthailand.blogspot.com

    Grey Tits Hi Kieran I remember seeing a very similar bird sometime around March 1995/96 at Holme, like your bird it also lacked any yellow on the underparts being grey white with a grey green mantle. Overall it had a very washed out appearance. It occurred at the same time as a large number of...

    Big Increase in National Park Entrance Fees

    National Park Fees The entrance fees will be payable daily, but it is Thailand and there may be some room to negotiate. Fee's at less visited national parks will stay the same. Suspect the increased fees will not go towards conservation, but more likely towards building new roads and ugly new...

    Advice - Preferably from international birders

    Don't rule out Taman Negara, I spent two weeks there in 2001 during Chinese New Year, yes it was busy but relatively few people were on the trails at first light and once away from the HQ I saw hardly anyone during the day. Many of the non birding visitors did trails immediately around the HQ...
