CalidrisBirdingTours

Black-chinned Yuhina. A fairly widespread bird in Asia. This one from central Vietnam #birding #birdwatching

We finished our Thailand tour, last month, with a quick stop in a city park to see some roosting owls, including this Spotted Owlet. A nice way to finish #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birding #owl

The tour report from our West Papua survey trip is now ready - calidrisbirdingtours.com/west-papua-bir… - it was superb & much easier than many birders may expect. Magnificent Riflebird pictured #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birding #birdingtours #birdguides

Blue-winged Minla can look very dull when seeing it in the canopy but it comes alive like this as we saw it at Doi Ang Kang in Thailand recently #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birding #birdphotography

@JeffHiggott It's nothing compared to Fraudatafilius's Fruit Dove.

@CalidrisBirding You just made that up!

One for Phylloscopus fans; Lompobattang Leaf Warbler from SW Sulawesi #birding #birdingtours #birdwatching

White-faced Plover ministry of silly walks. A bit of fun from our recent Thailand tour #BirdsSeenIn2026 @waderquest #birding

Azure Tit, flavipectus, with a yellow breast is not only a highlight of birding in Uzbekistan, but an easy one to connect with too. A joyful bird #birding #birdguides #birds

Ashy Woodpecker in the morning sun. One of those magical moments of any birding tour to Sulawesi #birding #birdguides #birdwatching

Thailand is a superb country for waders & we recorded an impressive 40 species of shorebirds on our recent tour, this Asian Dowitcher being one of the highlight species. We look forward to more of the same on next year's trip #BirdsSeenIn2026 @waderquest #birdguides #birding

Oriental Pied Hornbill was the first of 4 hornbill species we saw on our recent Thailand tour. It is a bird full of character & often forms flocks feeding in fruiting trees #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birding

Looking forward to seeing Bar-bellied Pitta again on our Vietnam/Thailand Pitta tour - calidrisbirdingtours.com/thailand-and-v…

@MarkDowie Always a nice one to connect with

Hawfinches proved somewhat uncooperative, but good numbers heard during sorties into traditional sites which also delivered a solid daylist of woodland species #ForestofDean #GlosBirds

White-naped Crane is always a highlight in South Korea as it was again on this year's tour #BirdsSeenIn2026

@churchartnature Yes, they are all Phylloscopus now. I don't think there are any exceptions.

@CalidrisBirding I'm sure there was a move a few years ago to have Seicercus moved into Phylloscopus, en masse. From 'tail shakers' to 'leaf watchers' 😄 Great birds either way

Formerly in the genus Seicercus, this Chestnut-crowned Warbler, Phylloscopus castaniceps, is a real gem. We had great views at Doi Lang West on our recent Thailand tour #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birding #phylloscopus

@asianbirder Ah, that stupid typo, thanks for pointing it out. Tawny-breasted Honeyeater!!!

@CalidrisBirding Might be first Tawny Straightbill record for Waigeo?

This eBird trip report - ebird.org/tripreport/476… - provides an overview of our survey trip to West Papua. Full trip report coming soon & tour itinerary #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birding #birdwatching

We recorded 18 species of Phylloscopus warblers on our superb Thailand birding tour. In our opinion this Sulphur-breasted Warbler is the pick of the bunch #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birding #birdwatching

There have been some magic moments on our Thailand birding tour but Eared Pitta might top the lot #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birding
