I don't get to go to national parks to look for snakes as often as I'd like so I'm always on the look out for good areas to go out herping (looking for reptiles and amphibians) and the other day I spotted one. It was an abandoned path through a forest which was lined with …
The dry season seems to be coming to an end here and after a few days of heavy rain the parched fields and rice paddies have been transformed into vast interconnected ponds and the roads have become wildife hotspots when the sun goes down. Insects fly around the streetlights and frogs wait patiently on the …
I never really know what i'll find when I'm out at night looking for wildlife but this night had a suprise in store for me and my partner as we walked between the flooded fields and rice paddies in our local neighbourhood. We were walking along the edge of one of the flooded fields looking …

Hello everybody! I'm back again, it's been a while, hasn't it!? Â I feel like I should explain the distinct lack of posts on my site for the past couple of months. A while back whilst visiting Khao Chamao National Park, my camera suffered a short dip in a waterfall after I slipped on a particularly …
