There's more to do outdoors
on this island than we can fit into the site–but try clicking on some
of the choices below to get an idea of the variety available...
Thanks to the large areas of savannah, some moderately mature
forest, and plenty of seacoast, you can expect to see a large variety of birds
on Ko Sichang, particularly during the months from about November to April
when many northern species migrate down for the warm winters. Egrets, bulbuls,
terns, swiftlets, gulls, harriers and doves are all plentiful (There's also
interesting non-bird wildlife: macaques, big monitor lizards, white squirrels,
pythons...)
The photo above is of a nesting Indian Nightjar (Caprimulgus
asiaticus). You can see it clearly enough here, but in the field we spent
five minutes within three meters of the nest before we could relocate it,
despite two previous visits.
