    Great video and thanks. If I was to set up a base in Jardin to go birdwatching in and around that area. Could you recommend any places to check out, just so we can maximize different species ?

    • @spottybeetles1040
      @spottybeetles1040 2 дні тому

      Hi there, the best place in Jardin was the Cock-of-the-rock lek which is "Reserva Natural Jardín de Rocas", you can walk there from the town. Camino de la Herrera is very good too. The main reason most people go there is for the Yellow-eared Parrot reserve which is maybe 1 hour drive to the South East and fairly easy to bird from the road side. Mirador El Roble is a bit further away but well worth it for the antpittas and hummingbirds.

    Amazing video and photos! Is November still a good time to see all or most of these species on the same areas?

    • @spottybeetles1040
      @spottybeetles1040 25 днів тому

      In November the resident species like Pittas and Broadbills might be more difficult because they aren't breeding and are quieter, but a lot of migrants overwinter in Thailand! It's a great time to see the legendary Spoon-billed Sandpiper and Nordmann's Greenshank. I'd probably lean into that, and visit the North and Central areas since they get more migrants.

      @spottybeetles1040 Місяць тому

      I don't know what type of snake it was, I think non-venomous from the head shape and eyes, but yes a very large prey! We watched for about 30 minutes or more, eventually we had to move on, so unfortunately we don't know how it ended.
