CAMBODIA BIRD WATCHING > CAMBODIA BIRDING TOUR
Cambodia Cycling provides professional bird watching tour accompanied by experienced bird watching guide with bird list. Prek Toal is one of the biggest bird sanctuary: Milky Stork (10 pairs), Painted Stork (100 pairs), Asian Open Bill (1500 pairs), Lesser Adjutant (40 pairs), Greater Adjutant (30 pairs), Spot-billed Pelicans (700 pairs), Black-head Ibis (200 pairs), Glossy Ibis (50 pairs), Grey-head Fish-Eagle (15 pairs), Masked Fin-foot (10 pairs). A full day boat trip is recommended. Ang Trapeng Thmor is the best place for watching Sarus Crane. Tmart Boey is the north plain village for Ibis. Surrounding the Tonle Sap Great Lake are natural grasslands, which flood annually with the rise and fall of the Mekong river. This unique habitat is highly threatened by conversion to agriculture. It also supports globally significant breeding populations of the endangered Bengal Florican – the only such site in South-east Asia. Other birds present include several large waterbird species, wintering Manchurian Reed Warblers and Greater Spotted Eagles, and Oriental Plovers, which are reliable passage migrants in March.

A fantastic trip - with the temples a Angkor a high point (one of many) for me! Our guide there, Sophoan Rath, was especially good - we highly recommend him for future tours. He was able to show us a large temple some miles out in the country, which was much appreciated and a bit of an extra effort for him.
We a still amazed that everything, and I do mean everything, worked so well - right down to the flights home.
