Introducing the Violet Cuckoo, one of the most unique birds we’ve ever seen. This colourful bird is spread across Asia, but it isn’t that easy to find, and we’ve only seen it once in Bangkok since we moved here around 6 months ago.

At the end of our visit to Sungei Buloh, we came across this Asian openbill. We’ve encountered this stork a few times in Bangkok, but this is the closest we’ve managed to get.

That could well do!

How close did we get to animals on safari in South Africa… sometimes this close!

Marsh harrier mid flight
It’s crazy to think that back in 1971, marsh harriers had just one breeding pair left in the UK. Thankfully, conservation efforts have led to a remarkable recovery, and the UK is now home to around 700 breeding pairs.

Even after several sightings, seeing lions in the wild always brought an overwhelming feeling of joy. With lion populations decreasing by roughly 75% over the last 50 years, encounters like this feel even more special.

You’d never guess that the fastest animal on Earth weighs as little as 450 grams. Peregrine falcons can reach speeds of over 200 miles per hour when diving, but they’re surprisingly lightweight.

To be fair can see why!
2 mudskippers in the water, one with its mouth open
Did you know there’s a fish that spends up to three-quarters of its life out of the water? Mudskippers do exactly that, and their unusual behaviour makes them surprisingly easy to photograph.

Glad you like them 🙂
Brahminy kites are skilful hunters, but that doesn’t stop crows from ganging up on them. On a recent visit to Bangkok’s Green Lung, we had some amazing views of crows mobbing two brahminy kites while they were trying to build a nest.

A year ago I was photographing kingfishers with their catches in Hampshire, now we’re looking for different wildlife in Bangkok!

Baby owl sat in a tree
Spotted owlets are experts at blending in, and we regularly see them hiding in plain sight in Bangkok’s Benjakitti Park. This young owlet is easy enough to spot if you know where to look, but most people walk by without noticing it at all.
