Another sunny weekend and another national park to explore. This time we headed to Ton Prai Waterfall a little further afield than we usually go but well worth the trip.The park was beautiful and has definitely taken a spot in my top 5 favourites here in Phang-nga province. We hadn't even entered the car park …
Last weekend Carly and I continued our exploring of our province and headed out to a new waterfall and forest park we had never visited (Lampi Waterfall). The park was small but beautiful and each and every corner of it seemed to be home to one or more species of butterfly. We walked up a …
The rainy season here has brought the whole province to life, rivers are once again full, the forests are green and thick, butterflies and other insects are out in force. One thing that is often overlooked though is the fungi. The rain has provided lots of nice shady damp places for a multitude of fungi to pop …
I was at home sick from work one day resting in the bedroom when I was disturbed by our dog, Bones barking incessantly at something from inside the house. Probably a cat that had ventured into our garden again, I thought. I rolled over in bed and did my best angry dog owner voice to get …
I realised the other day that my blog has become very insect heavy recently featuring very few animals larger than your hand. If you're hoping this blog post will be different, I'm afraid you're going to be a little disappointed, its all about insects, lots and lots of them. I will try to explain why …
Sunday rolled around and the weather nice, so both Carly and I decided to head out to our favourite national park for a wander and a bit of wildlife spotting. As we drove into the park it became apparent that the butterfly season was well and truly underway. Every puddle seemed to be edged by …
What a weekend, and where to begin? I guess I should begin on Friday which seemed to be the perfect lead in to a great weekend of wildlife. I took my students on a nature walk around school in which we were surprised by a very patient Lime butterfly which perched on a branch long …
Its been a while since I've posted anything but I haven't been stagnant. In fact I've been busy collecting material for my photo galleries page which is severely lacking in content at this time. So far I've managed to compile a damselfly gallery, a lizard gallery and an amphibians gallery which you can see here Photo Galleries. …
Since moving to the new house I've spent at least part of every evening walking around the garden or the neighborhood looking for wildlife and so far I haven't been disappointed. The heavy rain has brought lots of wildlife to our garden and one of the most exciting visitors we've had so far was an South-East Asian …
Last weekend we packed up all our things and moved to a new house out of the town and nearer to beach (1 minute away). The house is slowly starting to feel like home and all of our things are unpacked. Time for some exploring and wildlife spotting! These seems to be a lot of dragonflies …
