The project recruited schoolkids from eight Asian nations, from Russia down to Thailand, to help color in frames of an animation that depicts the lonely and perilous migration of a Spoon-billed Sandpiper as it faces threats from habitat loss and hunting. (Hat tip to Clare M. for the scoop!)
Below is a quotation directly from this paper by the Monitor Conservation Research Society: “Trade data from the range countries of Thailand and Vietnam and from Indonesia and USA, both non-range countries, revealed 10,841 Black-throated Laughingthrushes in trade, across 762 visits to 51 markets between 1966 and 2019.
As it learns to hunt and live on its own, the young bird has taken up residence in a tree right in front of the farm. Thanks to that bird’s choice of hunting grounds and David having plenty of time to watch it, he has documented the bird chasing everything from motmots to large woodpeckers as well as occasional visits from the parents.
At night, he catches up with a pride of lions to witness their hunting and killing skills in the dark, proving just how deadly and vicious lions are. In Thailand, a land known for its exotic animals, Steve comes face-to-face with the longest venomous snake in the world, the king cobra, whose bite could kill an elephant.
Lesser Whistling Ducks are “not threatened by hunting as they are not considered good to eat” ( Wikipedia ). The story is similar for the Red-breasted Parakeet – native and Near Threatened in Thailand and surrounding countries, but with an established breeding population in Singapore, quite likely established from escapees.
It inhabits rather dry areas within a region notorious for being one of the rainiest parts of the world, and is thus patchily distributed from Burma through Laos, Cambodia, parts of Thailand and south China, all the way to Vietnam. Then there is a gap of around 2,000 km (or 1,200 miles).
With a picture of the then-queen of Thailand on it, if I remember correctly. The Oriental Darter is classified as Near Threatened – the reasons are the usual ones: habitat loss, hunting, and pollution. of its hunts are successful. Back to birds. Humankind, you did it again, congratulations. Then, there are raptors.

Nordmann’s Greenshank photographed hunting on the Cairns Esplanade [Ken Cross]. I already had Nordmann’s on my life list from a single sighting of two birds in coastal Thailand back in 1995. That was clearly some time ago.] In addition, it should be stated that this Greenshank is rare everywhere!
On the way I managed to sneak in a manic day of birding in and around the capital of Thailand, Bangkok. Bang Pra is a reservoir and no-hunting area to the south east of Bangkok. No matter, the warm fire and comforts of home are nice, as is the winter birding here.
Hill ranges in eastern Myanmar and western Thailand are also suspected to be the intergradation zone between C. The species is also hunted for local consumption in Meghalaya (India), according to the HBW. There are also reports of individuals with intermediate characteristics between the very different taxa C. hardwickii and C.
Later, Harry Fuller, President of the Klamath Bird Observatory, led us to an open meadow where we saw a pair of Great Gray Owls hunting in a meadow. Carlos chose a pigeon that pretty much everyone should want to see: My best bird of the year came right at the beginning of January as I was wrapping up my travels in Thailand.
Insofar as they relate to other bird families, they are perhaps closest to the thornbills, another family that is mostly Australian but reaches as far as Thailand and Fiji. Pardalotes are actually their own family, and a family entirely endemic to Australia.
In one study , the bird used electric power lines as a perch in 63% of all hunts, which makes me wonder how the bird survived before there were power lines. Australian readers, can you confirm or dispute? The Black Drongo is a very common member of the family. It thought the name sounded lucky. Looking at some clouds together.
