We moved house again...... My partner and I are now living in a different part of Thailand and of course a new house and a new area means new wildlife to find. Our weekends have been busy so far since we moved which hasn't left much time for finding wildlife but luckily our new garden …
Let me introduce you to the red-necked Keelback (Rhabdophis subminiatus), a beautiful snake that has the distinction of being one of only a handful of snakes (17) in the world that are known to posses both venom and poison, and it can be found here in Thailand. When talking about snakes many people confuse the terms …
No matter how busy I am I manage to find some wildlife and when I'm too busy the wildife seems to find me, almost as if to remind me not to forget them and why I live where I do. Here are a few of the animals that have managed to find their way into …

Our lucky streak of good weather each weekend has finally ended with this weekend being dominated by heavy rain. This means our usual weekend venture into one of the local national parks or wildlife conservation areas has had to be postponed until next weekend, weather permitting. The bad weather has given me the opportunity to work on my …
