Here Come The Photos

On May 20, 2016September 7, 2016 By Nick'swildlifeIn Amphibians, The WildlifeLeave a comment

I'm currently in the process of trying to get all of my wildlife photos in order and identify all the species I've seen (no easy task). One of the ways I've chosen to do this is by creating some photo galleries on my site. They're still in their infant stages but slowly I'm making a …

Thailand is currently in the midst of its longest heatwave in 65 years with many provinces hitting temperatures exceeding 44 degrees celcius (111.2 farenheit). The long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis) around us have come up with a solution for the oppressive heat, they leave their tree top perches and hit the local river for a swim. …

Forest Lizards

On May 1, 2016September 7, 2016 By Nick'swildlifeIn Lizards, Reptiles, The Wildlife2 Comments

It seems like I cant go for a walk these days without spotting a Forest Crested Lizard (Calotes emma) or two, or three..or a hundred! They're often pretty relaxed and you can usually get quite close to them before they make a run for it. Sometimes if it's a particularly confident one they'll puff out …

Lounging Lizards

On May 1, 2016May 1, 2016 By Nick'swildlifeIn Lizards, Reptiles, The WildlifeLeave a comment

Thailand is home to a species of Lizard that you see everywhere and one that I have grown to love over the years living here. They are the Garden Lizard (Calotes versicolor) and as the name suggests you'll often spot them in gardens. They love to drape themselves over bushes, cling to the sides of …

Tiger Beetles

You know how you can walk past something a thousand times without ever really noticing it, but then once you've seen it once you start to see it everywhere? Well for me that thing is Tiger Beetles. Ever since I first spotted some by a river earlier this month I've been seeing them everywhere! They're …

Dougie The Owl (Part 1)

On April 29, 2016January 21, 2022 By Nick'swildlifeIn Birds, The Wildlife2 Comments

My students often spot me walking around the school campus and through the copses behind my office looking for wildlife. They often observe me with specualtive looks from their air-conditioned rooms, not understanding my want to be outside in 35 degree heat! This being said, they are paying attention to my actions and I try to …
