Virtual Bird Watching Trip in Bangkok; , Rice Fields at Lat Krabang | Birding in Thailand

Join me in this virtual bird watching trip in Bangkok at Lat Krabang Rice Fields. Birding in Thailand rice fields is always fun and this habitat is home to an amazing number of birds. Lat Krabang Rice Fields is a good place to see a lot of rice field birds at all times of the year within the bounds of Bangkok, close to Suvarnabhumi International Airport. Birding here is best to visit between the months of November to April when a lot of migratory birds can be seen but in May there are still some interesting birds to see. In this first of my video birding adventures I will show birders Asian Golden weaver in breeding plumage, Oriental Pratincole, Watercock in breeding plumage and colourful Javan Pond Herons; just some of the birds in this virtual birding trip.

Very enjoyable. I loved the weavers. I'll look forward to your next video.

[@BirdingwithNick]

Glad you liked it Mike. I have some nice footage of Indian Nightjar to include in the next one.

[@TV-pl2md]

Very beautiful place and nature So cute and pretty bird Thanks for sharing Great video new friend💕💕💕🤗🤗🤗

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thank you. I enjoy birdwatching in Thailand and South Korea.

[@madhukhanna6262]

Like 5 Nice Very nice Beautiful birds

[@BirdingwithNick]

Glad you enjoyed the birds.

[@ptaszyny]

Very interesting film, so many species... looks like a great place for birdwatching :) Warm greetings! 👍

[@BirdingwithNick]

We are lucky in Thailand that you can see a lot of birds in any rice fields.

[@johnwoodley980]

Very informative video Nick. I am looking forward to more.

[@BirdingwithNick]

Haha, glad you liked it. The next one should be better.

[@heathermartz109]

Nick, Great video. Keep them coming.

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thank you, the next one is being edited now.

[@wildlifewatch2220]

Awesome video! :) Thank you for sharing👍🏻

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thank you. I plan to make the next one an improvement.

[@SandraJsAdventuresOutdoors]

What an interesting little bird. I love seeing new birds that I have never heard of. :) I don't like birding when it is hot either. :)

[@BirdingwithNick]

Well then, watching from the comfort of your armchair is best here, it was extremely hot and humid. Birding in the mountains of northern Thailand in December, January and February is much more pleasant though in terms of climate.

[@StoilDIvanov]

Those are some good birds!

[@BirdingwithNick]

I was particularly happy with the Watercock.

[@knutfugl]

Good evening Nick. Many goodies for a birdwatcher here. Lovely footage. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Hope you have an enjoyable week ahead. Regards. Knut.

[@BirdingwithNick]

Yes it is a bird-filled location. Unfortunately Bangkok is still growing and bit by bit pieces of the rice fields get built upon.

[@knutfugl]

@@BirdingwithNick This is how it really is everywhere, unfortunately, in the world.

[@BirdingwithNick]

@@knutfugl Indeed

[@AndrewJulianPhotography]

a lot of great birds out there in the fields

[@BirdingwithNick]

Yes, Thailand is blessed with lots of birds outside of protected areas.

[@johnnadin2631]

Really good and especially in these very strange times. Thank you. ☺

[@BirdingwithNick]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I am in the process of editing the next one.

[@PapunBhattacharya]

Lovely

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thanks

[@stamatiszogaris6027]

I totally agree with "Thailand Wild" congrats, keep up the great work!

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thanks for the support. I am trying to improve with every video, the next one is being edited right now.

[@DR_1_1]

Wow! so close to the airport... but I suppose you'd need to get a taxi and ask him to come after a few hours, no way to rent a motorbike, or public transportation starting from the airport?

[@BirdingwithNick]

You are correct on all accounts there. It is not an easy place to visit if you are on a stopover or staying near the airport. There is car rental at the airport but no motorcycles as far as I know and not something I would recommend anyway given the traffic.

[@QueenbellaJoy]

Nice

[@BirdingwithNick]

Cheers

[@intothenature]

wow great video compilation :)you just done a good job :)

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thank you. I spent today filming for the next one.

[@intothenature]

@@BirdingwithNick keep going :)

[@juddpatterson]

Nice video, Nick, and glad you are doing well. I enjoyed seeing some of your local birds, including several like the Watercock and Oriental Pratincole that I'd love to photograph someday. Cheers.

[@BirdingwithNick]

Nice to hear from you Judd. Hope you manage to get back here some day. Late April-June is a good time for those birds as well as Pittas and Broadbills in the forest.

[@magekn]

funny how you generated more comments then likes......555....good and personal.....I am impressed....

[@BirdingwithNick]

Glad you liked it. Just finished filming another one this morning. It will take me some time to edit all the footage and upload it though.

[@jakubprzyrodnik]

It looks a gorgeous birding spot. I've never been to Thailand. I'm familiar with some species, but most are totally exotic to me. Your narration is very interesting and helpful. I also like your English accent 😃

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thank you. Maybe some day you will get to Thailand to see some of these and many others. Get in touch if you ever plan a trip here.

[@BrianHewittThaibirdspot]

Nice one Nick,,,, Video seems to be the new thing these days...

[@BirdingwithNick]

Cheers, well it certainly allows you to experiment a bit but it's not easy.

[@BrianHewittThaibirdspot]

@@BirdingwithNick I know, I made one but it definitely take a skill to get it right... What software are you using?

[@BirdingwithNick]

@@BrianHewittThaibirdspot OpenShot, I have put a link to the free download in the video description. Open the description and scroll down.

[@maximusmac5]

Great video! Where is this rice filed in Lat Krabang? I would love to visit but couldn’t find it on Google Maps.

[@BirdingwithNick]

This eBird hotspot gives the exact location of the site at Lat Krabang - ebird.org/hotspot/L2114765 You can click the link for directions and use Google maps to get there. Thanks for pointing out this oversight, I have added this information to the video description.

[@maximusmac5]

Birding with Nick Upton thanks so much! I live on Srinakarin so I’m not that far away. Will visit one of these days..

[@thailandwild4897]

Very nice video Nick. I think this is the way to go - with intros and outs, and extra commentary in between. I will be continuing in this kind of style once I can get back out into the field. I'll also be adding some behind-the-scenes stuff, so that viewers can see how some of the shots were obtained etc. Where is your next video coming from?

[@BirdingwithNick]

Thanks for those kind comments. Yes, that is one way to make the videos more interesting but I am sure there are others too. I was also thinking of behind the scenes stuff, I would be interested to see yours for sure. Lots of room for improvement, shorter time talking to camera, longer on the birds, different pacing, but you have to start somewhere hey? Hopefully I will be visiting Bang Pra, Chonburi, in the next few days and maybe try making a similar video. I will look out for yours.

[@thailandwild4897]

@@BirdingwithNick Yes, as you say. There are many ways that you could try to use your footage, and it would be interesting to experiment. Given your in-depth knowledge of the subject, I would like to see you doing some narration, to interpret the images that we are seeing, particularly perhaps, if we hear a different bird in the background, you might mention what species it is we are hearing etc. Occasionally, when I was filming for Earth Touch, I was able to do a live narration whilst filming.... It really added a nice feeling of being right in the moment.... especially when it was some exciting behaviour etc.

[@BirdingwithNick]

@@thailandwild4897 I really appreciate that suggestion. I will give it some thought on how best to incorporate that into future videos. I must admit I favour the "being in the moment" feel rather than after the event narration. Thanks.
