A Guide to the Birds of Thailand 1st edition by Boonsong Lekagul Philip D RoundNow customize the name of a clipboard to store your clips. Add to that picture the fact that it offers possibly the best cross-section of Asian habitats and birds available and it becomes a country you need to visit. From lowland forests of the peninsula to the Sino-Himalayan mountains in the north, and from pheasants and hornbills to broadbills and pittas, some 400 to 450 species are possible in three weeks. And what do you need to pack. Binoculars and a field guide, perhaps a scope and anti-leech hiking socks too. Everything else is secondary. Or tertiary. Or who cares. Now, which field guide to pack. Since Craig Robson’s “Birds of Thailand” (2002) is taxonomically outdated, the choice was Robson’s “Birds of South-East Asia” (the updated second, 2014 edition of the 2001 classic). This opportunity was recognized and seized by the Spanish publisher Lynx Edicions, best known for its “Handbook of the Birds of the World” series, which in collaboration with BirdLife International published the latest “Birds of Thailand” (2018). The book was written by Thai authors Uthai Treesucon and Wich’yanan Limparungpatthanakij and illustrated by 30 different artists. Uthai, a former chairman of the Bird Conservation Society of Thailand, has a Master’s Degree in Environmental Biology and has led birding tours from 1983. Wich’yanan graduated with a Master’s Degree in Biology and has been involved in a number of ornithological research projects in Thailand, as well as being a freelance guide. With some updates based on subsequent research, their “Birds of Thailand” taxonomically follows the “HBW and BirdLife International Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World”.Further on, there are new splits (is anyone surprised?http://www.bouwdata.net/evenement/diamond-viper-v770-manual) adding new endemics: Turquoise-throated Barbet is split from Blue-throated; while Greyish and Rufous Limestone-babblers are also split, but the latter is now an endemic species as well. In 2200 illustrations and over 1025 distribution maps, the new “Birds of Thailand” covers 1049 species recorded in the country to date. Among them are 20 endemics and near-endemics, and 58 vagrant species. The format is 23 x 16 cm (9 x 6 “) and so far, only hardback is available (personally, I find paperback more forgiving and longer-lasting in field conditions). On my bird guide book-shelf and together with Robson’s “Birds of South-East Asia”, this one is among the largest books, yet, to my surprise, it easily fits the largest pocket of my reporter’s vest. Despite its size, it is not a heavy book. I wasn’t checking the weight, but holding the book in my hand, Robson’s paperback is a bit thicker and way heavier than this new hardback. Inner covers hold a physical geography map of Thailand in the front, and the same, this time blank map in the back, with indexed 34 birding hotspots. The introduction covers the geography, climate and for the first-time visitor especially important, habitats: nine forest types, offshore, intertidal, rivers, freshwater wetlands, open country and urban habitats. A brief overview of bird conservation in Thailand follows, together with a list of threatened birds, also listing two data deficient species, the White-faced Plover and the Large-billed Reed-Warbler. The introductory chapters continue with the history of birding in the country followed by another gem: on three and a half pages, not so brief overview of those 34 nature reserves and other hotspots, plus that hotspot map that is replicated here as well. In the back of the book are three indexes, scientific and English names, Thai bird names and bird groups listed alphabetically. The font may be small, yet that is already the standard in field guides and I gave up complaining, but started to wear glasses. The bird ID text starts with the species name in English, scientific name and the Thai name (I especially respect the addition of this last one), its conservation and occurrence status, subspecies, size, habitat and behaviour, description (sexes, breeding vs.Reading the descriptions for several species I am particularly familiar with, I find them readable, simple (without being oversimplified) and understandable. The second novelty is the Thailand checklist card that you get with each copy of the book, with a Lynx Edicions website page link and your personal code to download the.pdf checklist that follows the same taxonomy as your field guide (and you would not want it any other way). Besides the usual checkboxes to tick your sightings, it offers the additional info which hotspots to search for the target species. The hotspots are numbered and up to 14 numbers follows the species name, with the best hotspots for the species in question marked in orange, to stand out in the crowd. The final novelty and a very successful one, is the positioning of range maps. They aren’t at the text page, hence leaving more space for longer descriptions where necessary (which is not too often), but inside the plates, next to bird paintings, so you can quickly check if the species occur in the particular region or not. This unusual idea cannot work with the outlines of USA or Europe, but Thailand has such a narrow and elongated shape that the map nicely fits next to a bird. And for three successful novelties in a single book I really must congratulate the publishers. Once I read a text about boat building where the author said something like, if you want it to sail well, the hull must look beautiful (or something like that). Whatever the case, it may apply to field guides as well: if you want to ID them easily, the book should look stunning. Despite having 30 illustrators, I do not notice much difference in style, which clearly was the case with Robson’s book (or even with National Geographic Birds of North America). The paintings are, no doubt beautiful, but how successful they are, I can judge only by checking those birds I have a lot of experience with. Which in the case of this field guide turn out to be mostly vagrants. For example, the White-tailed Eagle. The posture of the standing adult is wrong, in a sense that it is atypical of the species, while the neck and head appear proportionately too small. Still, in the Thailand guide, the White-tailed Eagle, a vagrant in the country, is possibly the least important species, and if it’s the only one that is not shown successfully, it doesn’t really matter. You cannot possibly show all 1049 species equally well. So, is it the only one. Going through the book, a great many species and genera I am familiar with do seem convicting, so I will take this eagle as an exemption and not as a rule. Oddly, not many species are shown in flight. Strangely, tropicbirds are grey and not white, and egrets are somewhat greyish, too. Also, there are no arrows to indicate the key identifying markings. The text is authoritative and easy to follow. Yes, you do. I already mentioned the position of the main text and the lack of maps in Robson’s, but the final conceptual nail is the lack of bird names in the plates, hence you have to compare the numbers on the right (plates) and the left (a short text) page. The new Treesucon and Limparungpatthanakij’s book (it will probably be known as the Lynx guide) is, simply, more user-friendly and far more comfortable to use in the field. Lynx Edicions, Barcelona. ISBN-13: 978-84-16728-09-1. Hardback, 452 pp. In the end, I remember seeing a Lynx Edicions questionnaire asking their site visitors to vote which field guide should be published next. At that moment I didn’t know what to say and later haven’t found that page, so I haven’t answered. There are only two countries in Africa that are not covered by regional or a country guide, only by the overweight pan-African one: the DR Congo and Zambia. No one is visiting the first and it will remain so for a while at least. It is not covered in South African guides because they consider it a Central African country and at the time the best option is to take two guides with you: one South African and another covering only those several dozen birds appearing in Zambia but not further south. Which is ridiculous. So, Lynx Edicions, publish Zambia next, you cannot go wrong with it.

This tour visited Khao Phra Thaeo National Park, Phang Nga mangroves, Ko Phra Thong, Sri Phang Nga National Park, Khao Sok National Park, Khao Luang National Park (Krung Ching Waterfall), Thale Noi, Khao Nor Chu Chi (Khao Pra Bang Kram Wildlife Sanctuary), and Krabi mangroves, as well as several less-well-known sights along the way. Arrival in Phuket and travel to Phang Nga It was extremely rewarding with some great views of many highly sought species, such as Mangrove Pitta, Chestnut-bellied Malkoha, Brown-winged Kingfisher, Ruddy Kingfisher, Black-and-red Broadbill, Ashy Tailorbird, White-chested Babbler, Rufous-bellied Swallow, and Sakhalin Leaf Warbler, to name a few. Phang Nga province Shortly thereafter we moved to our main area of morning birding, where we found a great number of quality birds, such as Banded Kingfisher, Great Iora, Green Iora, Blyth’s Hawk-Eagle, White-rumped Spinetail, Black-bellied Malkoha, Yellow-breasted Flowerpecker, Scaly-breasted Bulbul, Dark-sided Flycatcher, Mugimaki Flycatcher, and Crested Honey Buzzard. One of the most unusual sightings, however, pertained to a Barred Buttonquail that was walking slowly across a road, even allowing us the rare opportunity to get a photo! Ko Phra Thong We actually saw several birds despite it being such a rare and localized species in Thailand. We also found plenty of other great birds while looking for the adjutant, and some of these included Black Baza (one of the best-looking raptors on the planet), Jerdon’s Baz a, Himalayan Cuckoo, White-bellied Sea Eagle, Booted Eagle, Grey-faced Buzzard, Crested Serpent Eagle, Brahminy Kite, Blue-tailed Bee-eater, Chestnut-headed Bee-eater, Oriental Dollarbird, Greater Racket-tailed Drongo, Dark-necked Tailorbird, and Common Hill Myna. It was a really unique experience birding on the island and thoroughly enjoyable. The pick of the flowerpeckers was the stunning Crimson-breasted Flowerpecker, though Orange-bellied Flowerpecker was a close second in looks! Sri Phang Nga National Park The first bird we saw on entering the park was the simply breathtaking and stunningly gorgeous male Malayan Banded Pitta. Not only one of the best-looking birds on the planet but a really showy individual (see the cover of the trip report). Other quality birds came thick and fast in form of the rare Blyth’s Frogmouth, the pretty Red-bearded Bee-eater, Black-and-yellow Broadbill, Bushy-crested Hornbill, and more. Walking through the forest we found a nesting Hairy-backed Bulbul, Sakhalin Leaf Warbler, Chestnut-winged Babbler, Grey-throated Babbler, Abbott’s Babbler, Pin-striped Tit-Babbler, and Blyth’s Paradise Flycatcher. A short while later we were watching a female Malayan Banded Pitta, Orange-headed Thrush, White-rumped Shama, and Chinese Blue Flycatcher, yet more stunning birds. It was a thrilling morning! Later, as we drove to our overnight destination, we stopped at a river, where we found River Lapwing, Grey-headed Lapwing, and Red-wattled Lapwing, along with Pacific Golden Plover, Black-winged Stilt, and Little Ringed Plover. All in all it was another very memorable day. Khao Sok National Park (including Ratchaprapha Lake) We also improved our views of Black-and-red Broadbill and Banded Kingfisher from good to excellent, with stunning close-up views of a pair of each. An afternoon boat ride in some of the most spectacular scenery in Thailand also had several avian highlights, such as Oriental Pied Hornbill, Lesser Fish Eagle, Blue Rock Thrush, and Dusky Crag Martin; however, bird of the day and a potential bird of the trip contender was the incredible Great Hornbill. We staked out a nesting tree, where we could see the female’s bill protruding, and we waited for the male to fly in. We didn’t have too long to wait.He dropped down to the nest, where he regurgitated some fruit and fed the female through the nest cavity before giving us an incredible fly-by view. What a perfect way to end another great day’s birding! Khao Sok National Park (Ratchaprapha Lake) The quality of the birds we saw and were able to photograph was incredible. Two groups of birds were particularly well represented, raptors and hornbills. Some of the raptor highlights included multiple individuals of Lesser Fish Eagle, White-bellied Sea Eagle, Western Osprey, Crested Serpent Eagle, Crested Honey Buzzard (migrant and resident forms), Crested Goshawk, and a brief Wallace’s Hawk-Eagle. Other birds seen from the boat included Black-capped Kingfisher, Blue-eared Kingfisher, Chestnut-breasted Malkoha, Sooty Barbet, White-bellied Munia, and Rufous-bellied Swallow. Crested Jay, Bamboo Woodpecker, and Orange-breasted Trogons were all heard but seen on this occasion. It was a fantastic morning on the water, set in that lovely scenery again. Khao Luang (Krung Ching) National Park It was a hot and humid day, but we pushed through it and found several really high-quality birds, one of the best being the pair of the glowingly bright Green Broadbill that gave some very good and relatively low views, even allowing for a few photographs to be taken. Several other birds were noted in the jungle, such as Rufous Piculet, Moustached Babbler, Chestnut-winged Babbler, Grey-headed Babbler, Hairy-backed Bulbul, Ochraceous Bulbul, Raffles’s Malkoha, White-crowned Hornbill, Black-and-yellow Broadbill, Malayan Banded Pitta, Rufous-winged Philentoma, and Spectacled Spiderhunter. Interestingly the usually shy kingfisher was nesting in a termite mound near the campsite, and the pair gave some great views. Khao Luang (Krung Ching) National Park However, we also found some new birds, and one of the most exciting was the rare Maroon-breasted Philentoma, which gave some incredible, close views. We also found Scarlet-rumped Trogon, Blue-winged Leafbird, Chestnut-breasted Malkoha, Large Woodshrike, Grey-cheeked Bulbul, and Fluffy-backed Tit-Babbler. Khao Luang (Krung Ching) National Park and travel to Thale Noi It was very busy, with several new species for the trip encountered and some giving good photo opportunities too. Some of the highlights included Red-billed Malkoha, Chestnut-breasted Malkoha, Raffles’s Malkoha, Black-and-yellow Broadbill, Black Baza, Banded Bay Cuckoo, Oriental Dollarbird, Scarlet Minivet, Lesser Cuckooshrike, Bronzed Drongo, Great Iora, Ruby-cheeked Sunbird, Red-throated Sunbird, Crimson Sunbird, Spectacled Spiderhunter, Grey-breasted Spiderhunter, Blue-winged Leafbird, Lesser Green Leafbird, and Greater Green Leafbird. Thale Noi lake We boarded a dugout boat right from our hotel and pretty soon were a matter of feet away from plenty of birds. Shorebirds were a big feature early in the trip, and we found one of our main targets, Oriental Pratincole, quickly and had great views of several birds sitting in the grass around the edge of the lake. Other birds here included Grey-headed Lapwing, Red-wattled Lapwing, Kentish Plover, Pacific Golden Plover, Red-necked Stint, Long-toed Stint, Wood Sandpiper, Common Greenshank, and Black-winged Stilt. Careful scanning also revealed the rare (for south Thailand) Little Stint. Herons and relatives were well represented too, and we enjoyed seeing Yellow Bittern, Purple Heron, and Grey Heron (along with all the other common and widespread species). The Endangered Black-headed Ibis was also seen. The floating water vegetation was busy too, with Pheasant-tailed Jacana, Bronze-winged Jacana, Grey-headed Swamphen, and Common Moorhen all recorded. Ducks seen included Garganey, Cotton Pygmy Goose, and the very rare winter visitor to Thailand, Knob-billed Duck. Whiskered and White-winged Terns were hawking over the water too. First, the gorgeous Painted Stork was feeding very close to us in a rice paddy, and second, the majestic Buffy Fish Owl gave us some remarkably close, perched views low down and right in the open. Incredible! A brief stop near our accommodation in the late afternoon gave us excellent looks at a stunning male Orange-breasted Trogon, a fitting way to end another fantastic day birding. Khao Nor Chu Chi (Khoa Pra Bang Kram Wildlife Sanctuary) It was hard birding, as is usual in this area, although we found a couple of good birds. One of the best was the uncommon and tough Rufous-crowned Babbler. Some bulbul alarm calling brough in lots of birds nice and close and included several interesting species, such as Van Hasselt’s Sunbird, Ruby-cheeked Sunbird, Red-throated Sunbird, Thick-billed Spiderhunter, Little Spiderhunter, Orange-bellied Flowerpecker, Great Iora, Hairy-backed Bulbul, Blyth’s Paradise Flycatcher, and Black-naped Monarch. The rarest bird of the day, however, was an all-too-brief flyover of a Pale-capped Pigeon. Khao Nor Chu Chi to Khao Phanom Bencha We had further views of several other species that we had seen before, such as Brown Wood Owl, Crested Serpent Eagle, Crested Honey Buzzard, Orange-breasted Trogon, Van Hasselt’s Sunbird, Ruby-cheeked Sunbird, and Hairy-backed Bulbul. Afternoon birding around the grounds provided plenty of great birds, such as Blue Whistling Thrush (the yellow-billed subspecies), Blue Rock Thrush, Black-naped Oriole, Blue-eared Barbet, Asian Fairy-bluebird, Plaintive Cuckoo, Cinnamon Bittern, and Brown-backed Needletail. Khao Phanom Bencha and Phang Nga mangroves We found some really great birds and got some good photo opportunities of many of them too. On top of the list of highlights were Golden-whiskered Barbet, Sooty Barbet (unusually one nice and low, giving great views), Red-billed Malkoha, Grey-breasted Spiderhunter, Spectacled Spiderhunter, Black-and-yellow Broadbill, Arctic Warbler, Eastern Crowned Warbler, and a male Green-backed Flycatcher. We also improved our views and photos of Brown-winged Kingfisher, Collared Kingfisher, and Malaysian Pied Fantail and saw Swinhoe’s White-eye, Black-and-red Broadbill, and several other species. Phang Nga mangroves to Phuket for international departure Just as on our first visit we found some great birds and had even better looks at a couple of them. Straight on arrival at the site we were watching three Mangrove Pittas having a bit of a territorial dispute, and during this altercation we were able to get some very close views and photographs of them. As if these views were not good enough, we then had some of the best views possible of the often-shy Ruddy Kingfisher; in fact we saw three of them and they all showed well. A few other species were seen and included Streak-breasted Woodpecker, Chestnut-bellied Malkoha, and Crow-billed Drongo, but it will be the image of the pitta and the kingfisher that will live longest in memory and be a perfect reminder of what was a great tour through southern Thailand. I look forward to the next one! If you continue to use this site we will assume that you are happy with this. Ok. There are approximately 962 species (2 endemics) currently recorded, in other words 10 of the world species are present in Thailand. Generally the dry season is during November to April and the rainy season from May to October but, the southern and Southeastern provinces receive rain during November-January. The Central Plain extends to the coast around Bangkok and consists of areas of marshy floodplains. The North lying between the Mekong and Salween Rivers, is mainly mountainous, the highest peak at Doi Inthanon is 2,565m above sea level. The Northeast consists of dry plateau (Korat Plateau) mostly consisting of dry soil but there are some good forests such as Khao Yai located in this region. The East and Southeast has the isolated mountains of Khao Soi Dao at the westward part of the country near the Cambodia border. The West and Southwest has a large forested area and is divided from the Burmese border by the Tanassarim range. The South lying between the Andaman sea and the Gulf of Thailand. Peninsula Thailand is the southern part, which is a part of Sunda faunal sub-region. In Thailand it can be divided into two subtypes; the Thai type of rainforest, which formerly occupied most the lowland of Thailand and the Malayan rainforest type which is confined to the provinces of Yala, Narathiwat and southern Trang. Small areas of rainforest are also found in the wettest areas of South-east Thailand. Bird species diversity in this forest type is very high. Semi-evergreen, and dry-evergreen, forest is dense and stratified and usually has a deciduous component, these occur in the lowland and submontane slope below 900m throughout the country. This forest type also supports a great diversity of bird species including pheasants, pigeons, cuckoos, owls, trogons, hornbills, kingfishers, barbets, woodpeckers and many passerine families. Hill evergreen forests occur above 900m or 1,000m on the higher peaks throughout the country especially the north, west, some in the Southeast and Peninsula. Dominant trees are oaks and chestnuts etc. Mixed deciduous forests occur in the plains or valleys and on hill slope up to 1,000m, they are found in the North, Northeast and Southwest regions. Teak is dominant in this forest type. The bird species show less diversity than lowland evergreen forests but it is ideal habitat for Black-headed Woodpecker, Rufus Treepie and Golden-fronted Leafbird, Banded Broadbill, Blue Pitta etc. This supports a lower range of birds species than other forest types as there is less middle story and under-story vegetation. It supports a low diversity of bird species but is the place for Giant Nuthatch, Great tit, Grey-headed Woodpeckers, Greater Yellow-nape, Eurasian Jay and Grey Treepie etc. One species of forest bird, the Limestone Wren Babbler is confined to limestone habitats and is found in small areas of the North, Southwest and at the southwest margin of the Khorat Platteau in the Northeast region. Other species relate to this area including Dusky Crag Martin, Red-rumped Swallow, Peregrine Falcon etc. It provides nesting and roosting areas for large colonial water-birds. Species such as Brown-winged Kingfisher, the Mangrove Pitta, Ruddy Kingfisher, Flycatcher, Mangrove Whistler, Copper-throated Sunbird etc.No species of birds are restricted to swamp forests but some species such as Cinnamon-headed pigeon, Large Green Pigeon, Red-crowned Barbet, Fluffy-backed Tit-Babbler utilise this type of forest in particular. The BBC has developed its activities and became (1993) the Bird Conservation Society of Thailand (BCST). The activity has been spreading to other NGOs, private organisations such as other bird clubs, bird tours or individuals and, in less than 10 years, birdwatching has become popular among Thais (both men and women). These areas are the main birding spots all over the country where birds can be seen all year round. The West and Southwest areas are also good at Kroeng-Kravia and Tung Yai Wildlife Sanctuary of Kanchanaburi province, Kaeng Krachan National Park of Petchaburi and further south at Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park of Prachaubkirikhan. One of the most popular spots is Khao Yai National Park located at the Northeastern part of the country (a wonderful place for early morning birding as The Fat Birder can attest). The best areas are the West, Southwest and the south. The most popular birding spots are Krabi province areas such as the mangroves, Khao Nor Chu Chi and newly established destination is Halabala Wildlife Sanctuary in the far south, Narathiwat province etc. The best areas are in the central plains such as suburban areas of Bangkok, Kampangsaen of Nakhon Pratom province etc.A Guide to the Birds of Thailand written by B. Lekagul and Philip D. Round published in 1991 is very easy to use for field identification but has become very hard to get at the moment. The new guidebook for Thailand and South-east Asia was published this year (2000); A Field Guide to the Birds of Thailand and South-East Asia written by Craig Robson.
