As we roll into December here are a collection of recent photos from Phuket and Khao Sok NP where I spent the past week on a school trip with some of my students. After a period of illness which caused me to cancel my trip to Sumatra I have managed to reschedule a few trips for the coming year;
December: Khao Sok NP (focussing more on birds and mammals in the areas surrounding the main lake)
February: Sumatra (Indonesia)
April: Central Thailand (Kaeng Krachen NP and everything in between!)
June/July: An eagerly awaited return to Greece (Cyclades islands, Ios, Sifnos, Milos etc)

Thanks Steve, hope all is well in Calderdale. I had a great time back home in July with all of the owls around, hoping it will be the same next summer!
