📚 Lynx and BirdLife International Field Guides Collection

Thailand is justifiably the most popular country for birdwatching in South-East Asia. From dramatic hornbills and colourful but skulking pheasants and pittas to one of the rarest birds in the world, Spoon-billed Sandpiper, the country boasts year-round interest. This new field guide will help you identify all 1049 species that have been recorded in the country to date, including the 20 species endemic or near-endemic to Thailand.

Checklist with full taxonomy and list of species:

Download the Checklist of the Birds of Thailand as a PDF file, specially prepared by Uthai Treesucon and Wich’yanan Limparungpatthanakij, the authors of the guide. You will find checkboxes to register your sightings, as well as invaluable information, such as the local hotspots where you’ll find the most sought-after birds.

“Value is added to this guide by the inclusion of over 1,000 range maps, different colours giving a good idea of where to find particular species’ and in which season, and by the inclusion of a QR code for every species. These work well and link you to a variety of weblinks containing photo galleries and sound recordings of the species scanned. There is also a list at the front of the book of 34 birding hotspots and what to expect at each – this would have been very useful back in the 1991. For anyone planning a visit to Thailand this book is a must have.”

Paul Stancliffe, BTO, September 2019

“Overall, Birds of Thailand is a very impressive and very welcome field guide, and the two Thai authors and those who helped “prepare” the text (Alex Berryman, Christopher Sharpe, Guy Kirwan, and Tim Marlow) should be congratulated on producing an excellent book. Whilst the text is not as detailed as that in Robson’s guides, it does have the significant advantage of excellent maps, and if you are only going to Thailand you will not be confused by all the non-Thai species that are crowded onto the plates in Robson’s Southeast Asia guide.”

Frank Lambert, The Birder’s Library, 28 September 2019

“The accounts themselves are concise and well written. They cover known subspecies occurring in Thailand, and with reference to potential future splits, there is (sub)species account under the grouping of each taxon where relevant. These are also indicated in the range maps, which are placed beside the relevant illustration on the facing plate, making this very user friendly and easy on the eye.

I can highly recommend (it), having used it in the field recently.”

Mark Andrews, Birdwatch, nº 323, May 2019

“Yet, if you already have Robson’s “Birds of South-East Asia” – taxonomy aside, do you need this book? Yes, you do. I already mentioned the position of the main text and the lack of maps in Robson’s, but the final conceptual nail is the lack of bird names in the plates, hence you have to compare the numbers on the right (plates) and the left (a short text) page. The new Treesucon and Limparungpatthanakij’s book (it will probably be known as the Lynx guide) is, simply, more user-friendly and far more comfortable to use in the field. Without doubt – go for it.”

Dragan Simic, http://www.10000birds.com, January 2019

Score: 9/10

“One thing that really irritates in some field guides is when the range maps or species accounts are on a different page to the plates for each species but Birds of Thailand keeps all the relevant information together on facing pages making it simple to use in the field./…/ Birds of Thailand is an overdue and very welcome addition to the library of birders in Thailand due to its high quality and forward-thinking way of dealing with an ever-changing taxonomy.”
