I live in the southeast of Europe, for a while lived in the south of Africa and also have extensively birded western and central India. Here where I live – in one of the bird-richest corners of Europe, but I miss the species diversity of my yester years. Thailand (925 / 948). Map by BirdLife International. The Oriental realm.

In my experience, people eat more food they are familiar with than food that is unfamiliar. Apparently, in Europe Bramblings are the species appearing in the largest flocks and are thus “an interesting case study for discussing number estimates” ( source ).

Perhaps you don’t know it yet, but with more than 1000 bird species, palm-fringed sandy beaches, developed tourism infrastructure, moderate prices and political stability, Thailand is a country you definitively want to visit. Binoculars and a field guide, perhaps a scope and anti-leech hiking socks too. Everything else is secondary.

I don’t remember where I first learned about Elizabeth Gould–possibly when I was birding Doi Angkhang, Thailand and saw a stunning little bird named Mrs. Gould’s Sunbird–but I have been fascinated by her story and her art for the past five years. Unlike Audubon, she didn’t pose the skins.
