Lovely filming #17 Best Wishes and regards from Spain....

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thank you.

[@johnluk]

Some absolute beauties there m8, I thought the Bee Eaters were the highlight until I saw the Malaysian Plovers. Absolutely gorgeous. Well done👏

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thanks for those kind comments. Yes, the Malaysian Plover is a lovely bird. When I do eventually get back to Thailand I will be trying to get some footage of Spoon-billed Sandpiper, that should get the blood pumping of anyone who likes waders.

[@johnluk]

@@BirdingwithNick You’re right! I remember the influx when my friend spotted a broad-billed sandpiper in my local reserve! Isn’t the spoonbill sand the one that conservation efforts have been focused on?

[@BirdingwithNick]

@@johnluk Exactly, it's critically endangered but there is a spot I regularly take people to in The Gulf of Thailand where it can be seen in winter. Getting close enough for good video footage is a different story though.

[@johnluk]

@@BirdingwithNick a familiar problem! In my local reserve (Goldcliff) an electric fence deters close encounters of the bird kind!

[@tvnatureismyfriend9948]

3:42 Wow. So cute. There are similar birds in South Korea. For example, Common Ringed Plover.

[@BirdingwithNick]

I have seen Long-billed Plover and Kentish Plover in South Korea but not Common Ringed Plover. I have enjoyed several winter birding trips there, it's a great country.

[@canature9128]

Wonderful video, so many great sightings!

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thanks for that. Yes, in fact I was a little surprised just how many species I found.

[@jakubprzyrodnik]

I've never been to Thailand, so every single species is exotic to me. Very nice video. Like #24.

[@BirdingwithNick]

Good, that is exactly why I made the video, Most of the species are fairly common in Thailand but I wanted to show people who have never been there what great variety there is.

[@AfwanFitraAsyifak]

Hi Nick, Thank you for the virtual birding in Pranburi beach, really enjoyed this video. High five from Indonesia :)

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thanks for your visit. Can't wait to get back to Indonesia to make some videos there.

[@AfwanFitraAsyifak]

@@BirdingwithNick It would be great if we can collaborate to make some birding trip video :D

[@BirdingwithNick]

@@AfwanFitraAsyifak I was due to be leading a tour in Indonesia in September but....... However, I do expect to be there next year and indeed it would be good to collaborate. That will give me time to get better at video-making so that we could do a good job. You live in Java?

[@AfwanFitraAsyifak]

@@BirdingwithNick I laso had the same problem about birding tour nick. Hopefully next year this bad condition is over. Yes i live in Java precisely in East Java, if you need help to birding here i would happy to help you.

[@stamatiszogaris6027]

Excellent work Nick. Best regards from Athens.

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thank you. Hope all is well there?

[@iselville]

It's cool job, Nick. What a variety of birds! Love so much birdbath and this little brilliant - 5:19 so sweet!😍 Have a great weekend friend! Greetings!👍🏼

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thanks for that. Glad you enjoyed 5:19 I got totally covered in sand crawling along the beach to get close to it.

[@wasuv_birdphotography]

The Khao Yai National Park in Thailand is a very good place for birding! I hope you try it out sometime.

[@BirdingwithNick]

Yes, I have been there many times. I will make a video about birds of Khao Yai when I am able to get back there. Hopefully soon.

[@knutfugl]

Thanks for another entertaining movie, Nick. Like your style. Very well filmed and edited. Best regards, Knut.

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thanks very much, your positive comments mean a lot.

Nice video, Greetings from Italy

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thanks very much. Hope things are returning to near normal there.

[@natuurlijkthailand]

Paknampran beach! Love it. We often go there. And a very birdy area indeed, especially with Sam Roi Yot around the corner!

[@BirdingwithNick]

Yes, it is a surprisingly birdy area. I also found plenty of birds around one of the busier beaches in Phuket last year which is what sort of inspired me to make this video. I wrote about birds at Karon Beach here - dartfordwaffler.co.uk/birding-when-not-birding-thailand-birding/

[@IndianBirdVideos]

Wow, what a variety of birds !! Many birds are similar to India. Happy that you visited different terrains and show it to us. It was like revisiting Thailand 😊

[@IndianBirdVideos]

Also, regarding the software we are using its Filmora Wondershare.

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thanks for that, I will take a look at it.

[@BirdingwithNick]

Yes, it was surprising how many species could be found very close to our beach accommodation.

[@GapBahnDirk]

I did like the Malaysian Plovers in particular. I love Petchaburi Province!

[@BirdingwithNick]

Yes, they are great birds. Petchaburi is always good, but this one is in Prachuab Khiri Khan Province.

[@SandraJsAdventuresOutdoors]

I just came across your Channel, enjoyed it very much. Thank you, new subscriber here. 🙂

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thanks for visiting and subscribing Sandra. I am always working on improving the quality of the videos.

[@SandraJsAdventuresOutdoors]

@@BirdingwithNick You have some wonderful videos with some birds I have never seen before. I love discovering new wild life from other channels.

[@stevedavis2050]

Love these videos, Nick 😊 - guessing from the title you might get a few viewers who are surprising when you pop up 😂😂

[@BirdingwithNick]

Glad you enjoy them Steve. Surprised but hopefully not disappointed. It sounds a bit like a Carry on film doesn't it? I thought about doing my best Kenneth Williams impression. Ooooh matron!

[@andrewgoodall4371]

Hi Nick Really enjoyed this video. One of my favourite beaches is Titchwell in Norfolk, UK. Strictly speaking it is part of a nature reserve and not a holiday destination but brilliant for birding.

[@BirdingwithNick]

Hi Andrew, glad you like it. Titchwell is one of my favourite beaches and birding sites in UK too, I love those long, uncrowded beaches. Hopefully I will be able to visit at some point over the next few months.

[@andrewgoodall4371]

@@BirdingwithNick Hope you make it Nick

[@johnjackson4167]

Definitely enjoy these informative videos, Nick...question for knowledgeable English birder....we are here in 8" snow (aberdeenshire)..and we we have 7, yes 7 Robins in back garden feeders..how come? Explanation required...rsvp. John Jackson

[@BirdingwithNick]

Hi John, glad to know that you like the videos. 7 Robins is a fair number but although males do defend winter territories, if there are migrant birds in the area and the weather is severe they will collect at one food source. Of course they will be more tolerant of each other if they are females or perhaps young males. But the fact that you mention the deep snow is the real reason. The need for food overcomes the territorial instinct; a waste of energy fighting each other when every drop of energy is needed to survive the cold weather.

[@bretagnefrancoise]

bonjour hello de très belles observations ...bravo ! du passereau au limicole top! ok ( je m'abonne 210 ) bienvenue sur ma chaîne nature amitiés ornithologique Françoise

[@BirdingwithNick]

Hi, thanks for your kind words and subscribing. And thanks for teaching me a new word in French - limicole - a nice word for the plovers.

[@econservation9935]

Great job! Just subscribed 😊 I also talk about nature in my videos 👏🏼😊⛰
