As the rice paddies near Kota Kinabalu described in an earlier post , Tanjung Aru beach is not really a major birding spot in its own right. However, it is only a short taxi ride away from the airport where most travelers will arrive at – better to see birds instead of just eating fast food while waiting for a connecting flight.

And it is a great place for birding. This makes these sections ideal for birding, with a much-reduced risk of being killed by a passing truck. Mid-May to Mid-Jun is the best time to see some of the most exciting species here, as this is the prime breeding time. Still, the female posed rather nicely on a rock for me.

If you think it is rather pretentious to start a birding blog post with a Kafka story, I fully agree with you. Anyway, the story is not quite how I remembered it, to be honest, but fitting enough to describe the almost claustrophobic birding experience in ever-shrinking Nanhui. I just want to point out it could be much worse.

May is a busy month for birds migrating through Shanghai – and of course, last May was completely missed due to the lockdown. So, I spent a lot of time birding this month, and to keep this post at a manageable length, it mostly only covers the first half of May. The video is notable for the bird basically refusing to move at all.

And if you like birding, it’s a good place to spend time before or after meetings and explore. Late autumn 2022, I decided flying in a day early to do some weekend birding. It was David’s first time birding. Now it was a bit lighter, diurnal birds became vocal. A weekday would be better for timid birds.

Have you ever enjoyed one of those brilliant birding expeditions, the outing where every target species takes its cue with machine precision? But ranches, as you may know, can offer extremely benevolent birding, especially when it comes to grassland species. Such was my introduction to Aripo Savannah in Trinidad.

Every part of the world has it’s suite of parking lot staples, those urbanish species that seem to prefer to linger about humanity subsisting in no small amount to the magnanimity, or more likely the laziness, of humankind. But there’s still some regional biases for those who pay attention.
