Asia
The Fat Birder has seen just a little of the east. I found that Mai Po is glorious; Thailand has huge dense cities and almost pristine National Parks, Malaya still has some great birding forests but they are under great threat from loggers, and India is rich culturally as well as in terms of its birding spectacle. With a large proportion of the world`s bird families and some wonderfully diverse habitat there should be more to see on the world wide web - over the last year it has certainly grown but there is plenty of room for more birding websites in the east... Not only are the birds colourful but there are asian photographers and artists who have captured these glories and a few images appear on these pages. |
