Birds of Thailand Photo Gallery by Peter Ericsson at pbase.com

Birds of Thailand

These are but a few of the many hundreds of birds found in Thailand. I mainly watch birds but always carry a camera for any photographic opportunity that comes around.

If you can not find what you are looking for chances are that you can find it in one of my other galleries from around the region.

Birds never cease to thrill my heart. I believe they are sent by God to cheer us up and sure proof of His blessings!

If you have enjoyed or benefited from this gallery please let me know. Tx!

These galleries contain 570 species of the Birds of Thailand!

PS. If you are looking for personal assistance in the field you can let me know and perhaps something could work out.

what a fantastic collection of shots! This will prove to be a very valuable means of identification i'm sure of it. Thanks a lot!

Can you help identify a bird that flies into my yard on a daily basis. I live in Pattaya. The bird is the size of a crow but electric blue in color.

Hello Peter, Ive just moved to retire in Hua Hin. In England I was with due modesty an expert on British Birds having been passionate about the subject all my life. I was an 'A' ringer with the British Trust for Ornithology until I retired from the scheme before coming here to live. I am just getting to grips with trying to learn to recognise the many Thai species. I hear that there may be a banding(ringing) station around here, I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me more about Ringing birds in Thailand. I have found your supurb Photographs to be of great help in identifying the few birds that live around and fly over here where I live. more so in several cases than the field guide which I bought on my arrival here. Thanks again for the pictures I look foreward to use them to add more 'definates to my new life list

Gary	PM reply	16-Feb-2010 14:05
Peter I am now retired in Thailand and any tip you could give me would be appreciated. I am having some lens shipped to me next week and i love birds. Your photo's are stunning.

Patricia		16-Feb-2010 14:01
Hello Peter, Absolutely fantastic photos! I'm birdwatching throughout Thailand for seven (7) weeks. Your photos are helping me to identify some questionable species. Thank you for posting these beautiful images. Patricia from Maryland, USA

Dotty Jensen		02-Jul-2009 02:43
Hi Peter, I've just returned from Koh Samui and have a bird to identify. It was the size of a Mocking Bird and it had a white band under its wing. I can't find a pix anywhere BUT I did take one. How could I send it to you? Thanks for your help

Excellent gallery. I'll be joining a group birding a small fragment of Thailand (Spoonering and Gurneying hopefully!) and this has been an invaluable resource. Stunning images of stunning birds, you've whetted my appetite bigtime.. Many Thanks, Matt Prince Swindon (its snowing btw!)

Thanks for sharing your magnificent pictures with us

Monique		05-Nov-2008 13:55
Hi Peter! It's about time I compliment you on your fabulous photo's! I live in Thailand (Koh Samui) and when I 'shoot' a bird, your site is the first one I visit to find the name of the bird. Yesterday we had a young blue-winged pitta in our garden, luckely I was able to rescue it in time from my dogs. It's such a wonderful colored bird, the most beautiful living creature I had ever in my hands and thanks to your site I now know it's name. Thanks and keep up the good work! Greets, Monique

Dave Hawkins	PM reply	15-Jun-2008 04:53
I have throughly enjoyed your site, besides the unusually colorful and wonderful birds, I appreciate the narrative as well. It would be a dream trip to spend some time in Thailand. Mostly I can feel the love of birds and your country's stunning beauty through your photos. Thanks
