Now that I am in Malaysia I actually do see birds again. In Thailand I was only seeing pigeons in the city and nothing in Northern Thailand since they set up nets and eat them!
I have a 9th floor balcony now that looks out onto a reasonably wooded area. I am seeing birds I have never see before on my life all the time and they are wonderful and exotic to me.
Today my camera is the issue - I only have the one on my cell phone and it is not ideal. I hope soon I will catch some of these birds to show you - or even one of them!
Lovely to hear that you have found somewhere with a bit of nature closer to you, look forward to seeing your bird photography from the region Sharon @fitinfun
