Birding Trip in Thailand, birds at Phetchaburi Rice Fields | Birding in Thailand

- Virtual birding trip in Thailand to Phetchaburi Rice Fields, with me to see some breeding season rice field birds. Birding in Thailand rice fields is an experience that always provides many interesting bird sightings. The breeding season is a good time to see some species at their best, in their colourful breeding plumage including three species of weaver birds. I always visit Phetchaburi rice fields when I am leading birding tours in Thailand for its high concentration of birds and large number of species that can be seen in a short space of time. In this video of my birding adventures in Thailand I show birders species as varied as Bronze-winged Jacana, Blue-tailed Bee-eater, Javan Pond Heron, Streaked Weaver, Asian Openbill, Lesser Whistling Duck, Zitting Cisticola and the incredible nests of Baya Weaver; just some of the birds in this virtual birding trip.

Very cool videos! So many birds! Great capture! Interesting info
Thanks, I think it is an improvement on some of my older videos.
enjoying these videos Nick
Cheers, let's hope we are able to get back and enjoy the birds for real soon.
Beautiful birds with different characteristics and behaviours.Vefy intellegent and artistics.
Interesting nest.
Thanks for sharing
Yes, those nests are amazing. Thanks for watching, have a good weekend.
Very enjoyable presentation!
Thank you. Always trying to improve.
Great video Nick. Love Petchaburi. Missing Thailand!
Indeed, me too.
Awesome video Nick. Well done👍👍
Thanks for watching, I am glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful footage Nick. Great job!
Thank you.
Nice
Thanks.
Excellent video Nick. I loved the comparison of the three weaver species, very useful indeed.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Can't wait to get back to Thailand to make some new ones. Have you seen all 3 species? Streaked Weaver is fairly restricted in where it occurs.
Wow Lovely footage of so many beautiful birds.. love the pink necked Green pigeon, Javan Pond Heron, Golden weaver the most as they are lifer for me.. Love the other birds too.. Thanks for sharing this interesting video my friend.
Those 3 are really nice birds in breeding plumage. Let's look forward to a time when we can travel and see new birds again.
Looks like Thailand is treating you well, another great video Nick!
Unfortunately I am stuck in UK right now, the footage was shot back in June 2020. Hopefully back in Thailand to stay soon.
Wonderful capture 👍🏼👍🏼 so many beautiful birds 😍😍 the clips of baya weaver was so impressive.
Thank you, yes those weaver nests are amazing. I guess you have them near you too?
@@BirdingwithNick yes they live close by but am yet to spot a nest. Great capture 👍🏼
@@goldisgallery2912 In Thailand they start nesting from around the end of March through into July/August. I guess it will be similar there. Good luck in finding a nest next breeding season.
I enjoyed the movie, Nick. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful birds. Very well filmed.
Have a great evening.
Kind regards, Knut.
Thanks for those comments. Glad you enjoyed it. I keep trying to improve.
◕‿◕ 👍👍👍
good video hope to see more when you can
Indeed, hopefully it will not be too much longer before I am back in Thailand to make some more.
@@BirdingwithNick great , i've been Thailand a lot over the years khao yai , doi inthnon, etc love it
Beautiful and very interesting video. Many thanks for sharing. Greetings Bert.
I'm pleased you liked it. Thanks for stopping by to watch and comment.
An excellent video Nick and let's hope all the species continue to do well :) 👍 Greetings from Berlin .
Thanks, I try to make each video a little better than the last. It was tricky this time as I shot the footage back in June 2020 when I was making it up as I went along. Fortunately there is lots of habitat for birds like these in Thailand.
Best one yet, Nick! I really enjoyed this. Of course, having been there on one of your trips, it brought back terrific memories. I like all the background songs, too.
Thank you. Yes, I hoped it would bring back some memories for a number of birders. Hope to be back later this year to make some more.
+25 Привет новый друг! Красивые моменты из жизни птиц!🤝👏
Hi, thanks for the kind comment. (Google translate is was very helpful). Спасибо за просмотр.
So enjoy by following you to visit this beautiful rice fields with number of birds. We used to be in Petchaburi, once but failed for the Spoonbill Sandpiper. Anyway, very good video. Have a great day.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the video and your visit to Petchaburi. Hope you get a chance to go back and see the Spoon-billed Sandpiper.
I had a great trip with you, loved it
Haha, thanks for joining me.
Nice video Nick! Very informative and excellent camera work.
Thank you, those comments are sincerely appreciated.
These are awesome shots and you have great narration. I love the segment on the weavers.
Thanks for those kind comments. During the breeding season the weavers are always a highlight for me.
The most extraordinary thing is how little the birds seem affected by people. What is the cultural take on consuming birds/eggs?
There is very little hunting of wild birds in Thailand. In the past persecution would have been more but these days the affluence of Thailand is such that killing birds for food is not something many people do. Fishing is very widespread but eating birds is not. Yes, there are still people who are not wealthy and a few probably hunt birds but it really is not widespread at all and the amount of time it would take to find eggs to eat can be used doing something far more productive. There is also the cultural aspect of Buddhism that means that most people do not want to kill things if not needed. That doesn't mean that all Thais are perfect Buddhists, they certainly are not, but there is that deep-seated belief that respect for life means all life and when you see birds being killed by youngsters for fun in other Southeast Asian countries you can see there is a real difference in Thailand. Rice field birds do get trapped and killed by farmers who put up mist nets to stop their rice crop being eaten or fish pond keepers who put up nets/hooks to protect their fish. Fortunately even this is not universal although I run into it all too often. Habitat destruction by development/conversion to shrimp farms is a far bigger menace to birds in Thailand than hunting.
Wow! Such a variety of birds! This was awesome! Such nice footage and narration! Great job! Thanks for sharing!
Hi, yes, always lots of different species in the rice fields. Thanks for passing by and watching.
Lovely stuff, are you back in Thailand now?
Thanks. No, this was filmed back in June when the weavers were nesting. Still stuck in UK.
Amazing birds in Thailand and great narration as always. You should defiantly get a job in some major documentary film production studio as a narrator, ha-ha.
Haha, thanks, nice to know that someone appreciates it. Thailand really is a superb country for birds, all birders should put it on their list of places to go.
Hey Nick! This is an amazing video, I love every bit of it. All of the wetland birds are so fascinating and look so interesting. I really like the look of the Javan Pond Heron and the Asian Openbill looks super prehistoric. Keep up the National Geographic vibe, you do it so well and you are so professional!! :)
Thanks for those kind comments. I filmed the footage ages ago before I knew what I was doing but put quite a bit of thought into the editing to try and make it an improvement on previous videos so it is nice to know someone appreciates that effort. Indeed, the Openbill is one of those prehistoric birds.
@@BirdingwithNick Oh I see, that makes a lot of sense! The editing is amazing might I add, I find it so hard to transition from once scene to the other without a fade but you do jump cuts perfectly. Your effort is definitely noted my friend, thank you for sharing :)
You back??
Nope. The clue to when it was filmed is in the breeding plumage of the weavers. Footage I got back in June 2020; just got round to editing it.
@@BirdingwithNick ahh, yes. I missed that...Great video anyway
@@BrianHewittThaibirdspot Thanks, hopefully an improvement on some of the older ones. I look forward to getting back and making some more.
