Birds of Central & Southern Thailand

  • Common Sandpiper Actitis hypoleucos

    A shrill piping 'swee-swee-swee' as it flicks away low over the water.

  • Common Greenshank Tringa nebularia

    A ringing three-note 'tew-tew-tew' from the tidal flats.

  • Eurasian Whimbrel Numenius phaeopus

    A rippling seven-note whistle across the mudflats.

Birds of England

  • Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata

    A rising, bubbling 'cour-lee' that gives it its name, haunting over moors and estuaries.

Birds of Eastern North America

  • American Woodcock Scolopax minor

    A buzzy, nasal peent at dusk, then twittering wings in a sky dance.
