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.

Snake Wrangling
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 …
The Wild Weekend Continues
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 …
Wildlife in Action
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. …
New House New Wildlife – Part 2
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.

One day we heard our dog (Bones) barking insesantly and when we went to investigate she was standing looking out of …
Monkey Business
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. …
Lounging Lizards
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 …
