Introduction
Cambodia has a number of specialties that are difficult to find in other countries, including several rare storks and vultures, Giant and White-shouldered Ibis, Mekong Wagtail, Chestnut-headed Partridge, Bengal Florican, Manchurian Reed-Warbler. Most are readily findable; I didn’t have the time to attend the vulture restaurant in Chaeb, so I missed those species. I combined Cambodia with southern Vietnam, which was a convenient combination.
Cambodia is an inexpensive place to travel. Dollars were accepted nearly everywhere; in place of coins they give change in riel notes. The exchange rate was $1=4000 riel. I generally paid $3-5 for a guesthouse room and less than $2 for meals. The priciest parts of the trip were Prek Toal and Tmatboey (the ibis site). More details are included in the body of the trip report.
Where applicable, I use Lonely Planet spellings for place names; they are notoriously variable between different sources. In general, the language barrier posed few problems other than at Prek Toal; the rangers at Bokor spoke very little English, but they could imitate Chestnut-headed Partridge calls!
Malaria is a potentially serious problem in Cambodia. I bought meflaquine in Siem Reap for $0.50/pill. You should pick up the latest copy of Cambodia Bird News at Monument Bookstore in Siem Reap or Phnom Penh. It’s really an impressive publication, and it provides a place for your interesting sightings to be published.
There is little information on birding Cambodia on the internet. Frank Rheindt’s trip report (URL) was very useful (in preparing for the trip I found his site lists especially useful, thus I have done the same). The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) is very active with conservation issues in Cambodia. Tom Clements (cambodia.birding AT citylink.com.kh) of WCS works with Giant and White-shouldered Ibis conservation and must be contacted before going to see those birds. It is also helpful to contact him about seeing Bengal Florican in Kompong Thom.
You will notice that certain days are missing in the trip report, for one reason or another they were lost for birding. The biggest disadvantages of not renting a car is that it takes a significantly longer time to get anywhere. Buses were generally early in the morning, so I lost many mornings of birding in transit. On the other hand, it was fairly easy to get everywhere by public transport, either by bus or share taxi. Details are included below.
SIEM REAP AREA - 12-17 March
Angkor Wat and vicinity - 12-15 March
In true backpacker fashion, I spent a few days exploring the temples and birds of Angkor before starting birding in earnest. There are scattered patches of forest around many of the main temples, though they aren’t extensive enough to hold many real forest species. Birds not seen elsewhere in Cambodia were House Swift, Fork-tailed Swift, Asian Barred Owlet, Japanese Sparrowhawk, pandoo (blue-bellied) Blue Rock Thrush, and Silver-backed Needletail. (However, I saw all of those except the rock thrush again in Vietnam).
Other birds around the temples were Asian Palm Swift, Little Grebe, Lineated and Coppersmith Barbet, Green-billed Malkoha, Indian Roller, Red-breasted Parakeet, Cattle Egret, Chinese Pond Heron, Darter, Black, Ashy, and Greater Racket-tailed Drongos, Black-naped Oriole, White-rumped Shama, Common, White-vented, and Hill Mynas, Barn Swallow, Black-crested, Streak-eared, and Stripe-throated Bulbuls, Olive-backed Sunbird, Olive-backed Pipit, Common Tailorbird, Oriental Magpie Robin, Greater Coucal, Orange-breasted Green Pigeon, Shikra, Black Baza, Ashy Minivet (70+ one day), Asian Brown and Red-throated (Taiga?) Flycatcher, Striped Tit-Babbler, Common Moorhen, and Olive-backed and Paddyfield Pipit.
Ang Tropeang Thmor Sarus Crane Reserve - 16 March
The sarus crane reserve offers good birding even if you dip on the crane, as I did. It is also a good site for Bengal Florican and the rare Eld’s deer, both of which I also missed. Nonetheless, I had a very enjoyable day of birding there. It is a difficult place to access by public transport. I hired the moto driver who took me around the temples to take me there. I don’t recommended trying this, it’s about three hours, half of which are very dusty and rather bumby, from Siem Reap to the reserve—I had a very sore bum by the end of the day.
There is a lot of open and scrubby habitat here, as well as some grassland (mostly cultivation), dry dipteropcarp forest, and marshy rice paddies. Most areas were full of birds, and the main reservoir’s rice paddies were packed with (long-legged) waders and shorebirds. According to the checklist in Cambodia Bird News, I found four new species for the site: Ruff, Long-toes Stint, Rufous Treepie, and Siberian Rubythroat; plus several other species that only appear in brackets or only have one record for the site: Kentish Plover, Small Buttonquail, Black Baza, Bluethroat, Black-browed Reed-Warbler, and Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker. Obviously there is still a lot to learn about this site.
It is best to contact the International Crane Foundation (Cambodia.icf@online.com.kh) before you go as they may be able to tell you where the cranes are hanging out.
Other birds seen: Lesser Whistling Duck, Comb Duck, Cotton Pygmy-Goose, Garganey, Small Buttonquail, Common, Black-capped, and Pied Kingfishers, Green and Blue-tailed Bee-eaters, Plaintive Cuckoo, Greater Coucal, Asian Palm Swift, Crested Treeswift, Spotted, Red Collared, and Peaceful Doves, Common Moorhen, Common Snipe, Common Redshank, Common Greenshank, Marsh, Green, Wood, and Common Sandpiper, Bronze-winged and Pheasant-tailed Jacanas, Black-winged Stilt, Pacific Golden Plover, Little Ringed and Kentish Plovers, Oriental Pratincole, Black-shouldered Kite, Black Kite, Brahminy Kite, Eastern Marsh Harrier, Rufous-winged Buzzard, Little Grebe, Little Egret, Grey Heron, Great and Cattle Egret, Chinese Pond-Heron, Cinnamon Bittern, Brown Shrike, Large-billed Crow, Black-hooded Oriole, Black and Greater Racket-tailed Drongo, Common Iora, Common Woodshrike, Red-throated Flycatcher, Siberian Stonechat, Pied Bushchat, Asian Pied and Black-collared Starling, Common and White-vented Myna, Barn Swallow, Sooty-headed, Yellow-vented, and Streak-eared Bulbuls, Zitting Cisticola, Plain Prinia, Oriental Reed-Warbler, Australasian and Indochinese Bushlarks, Oriental Skylark, Purple Sunbird, Plain-backed and Eurasian Tree Sparrow, Yellow Wagtail, Rishard’s, Paddyfield, and Red-throated Pipit, Scaly-breasted Munia.
Prek Toal - 17 March
Prek Toal holds one of the biggest waterbird colonies in Southeast Asia, including some very sought after species. The best way to bird this site is to go with an organized tour, such as with Osmose Tours (osmose@online.com.kh). They have a minimum of four people for a tour, and no tour was going while I was there, so I simply went to the floating village in the morning and arranged the trip myself. It didn’t work out too well and was very expensive. The total cost was $80. I was easily able to arrange getting there at the floating village, but since my boat driver and guide spoke no English, I wasn’t able to specify where I wanted to go. Because of that, I didn’t actually get to the nesting area. I still saw Greater and Lesser Adjutant (the former only circling overhead), Painted and Asian Openbill Storks, Black-headed Ibis, and Spot-billed Pelican, but missed Milky Stork.
Other species:Blue-tailed Bee-eater, Common and Black-capped Kingfisher, Green-billed Malkoha, Greater Coucal, Purple Swamphen, Common Moorhen, Bronze-winged Jacana, Whiskered Tern, Gray-headed Fish-Eagle, Brahminy Kite, Eastern Marsh Harrier, Little Egret, Gray and Purple Herons, Great Egret, Chinese Pond-Heron, Yellow Bittern, Black-crowned Night-Heron, Darter, Little, Indian, and Great Cormorants, Large-billed Crow, Oriental Magpie Robin, White-vented Myna, Barn Swallow, Sand Martin, Olive-backed Sunbird, Yellow Wagtail, Tree Sparrow.
KOMPONG THOM - 19-20 March .
This is the area for Bengal Florican and Manchurian Reed-Warbler (in fact, other than those two species, the birding in the area is unexceptional). Kompong Thom is easily reached by bus from Siem Reap ($4); make clear that you want to get off at KT, as the bus won’t stop here otherwise. Seeing these birds on your own is very tricky, it is best to get in touch with WCS for contacts to help you find them. On the afternoon of the 19th I birded with Tom Grey, a British grad student studying florican conservation, and on the 20th I went with Seng Sing Lay, a WCS employee. Hopefully some sort of system will be put in place to see these birds so WCS employees won’t have to go out of their way to show them to visiting birders.
I had good views of floricans (only males) both days. After reading about how hard Manchurian Reed-Warbler was to coax out of the grass for good views, I was pleasantly surprised to have no trouble getting excellent views of them. We heard one calling immediately upon pulling up to the best area for them, and had no trouble at all getting excellent views. Several Greater Spotted Eagles were wintering in the area, but I only got very distant views. KT was the only location I saw Red Avadavats on my trip.
The area around KT is purely agricultural with a few small ponds. Birds seen: Small Buttonquail, Blue-breasted Quail, Green Bee-eater, Common Kingfisher, Oriental Cuckoo, Greater Coucal, Indian Roller, Asian Palm Swift, Spotted Dove, Common Snipe, Common Greenshank, Little Ringed Plover, Eastern Marsh Harrier, Brahminy Kite, Black-shouldered Kite, Peregrine Falcon, Grey and Purple Heron, Little Egret, Brown Shrike, Black Drongo, Large-billed Crow, Pied Fantail, Siberian Rubythroat, Bluethroat, AsianPied Starling, Barn Swallow, Red-rumped Swallow, Sand Martin, Yellow-bellied Prinia, Plain Prinia, Lanceolated Warbler, Zitting Cisticola, Black-browed and Oriental Reed-Warbler, Striated Grassbird, Richard’s, Paddyfield, and Red-throated Pipits, Australasian Bushlark, Oriental Skylark, Yellow Wagtail, Yellow-breasted Bunting.
TMATBUOY - 21-22 March
This is the site for Giant and White-shouldered Ibis. You must contact Tom Clements of WCS (cambodia.birding AT citylink.com.kh) before going. WCS has set up a system to allow birders to see the ibis, including transportation to the village and lodging and food in the village. The two days there cost me almost $85 which is pretty steep, but includes the $30 “village fee” for seeing the ibis, which goes directly to the village if they don’t hunt any ibis during the year. I took a share taxi for $5 from Kompong Thom to Preah Vihear (Tbeng Meanchey). I also took one back to Kompong Thom, getting in too late to get to Kompong Cham the same evening, so instead I took another share taxi to Phnom Penh (also $5), from which I knew I could get to Kratie the next day.
I got lucky and had excellent views of White-shouldered and good views of Giant Ibis in the same tropeang my first afternoon. It turned out to be particularly lucky since neither was present at the same tropeang the following morning. It also meant I didn’t have to take the time to go to the staked out White-shouldered Ibis nest the next morning, instead being able to spend it birding the open forests instead. The birding was excellent and very easy in the open forests. Best was a cracking group of very coooperative Swinhoe’s Minivets. Other highlights included Pale-capped Pigeon and Black-headed Woodpecker (both at the bamboo-lined pool near the farthest away point of the Giant Ibis loop, an area that is also good for Yellow-footed Green-Pigeon, which I missed) and Alexandrine Parakeet.
Birds seen: Chinese Francolin, Red Junglefowl (heard only), Grey-capped Pygmy Woodpecker, Lesser Yellownape, Grey-headed Woodpecker, Common Flameback, Lineated Barbet, Green Bee-eater, Chestnut-headed Bee-eater, Blue-tailed Bee-eater, White-throated Kingfisher, Large Hawk-Cuckoo, Indian Cuckoo, Asian Koel, Lesser Coucal, Hoopoe, Blossom-headed and Red-breasted Parakeet, Asian Palm Swift, Crested Treeswift, Brown Hawk Owl (heard), Javan Frogmouth, Green Imperial Pigeon, Orange-breasted Green-Pigeon, Spotted Dove, White-breasted Waterhen, Red-wattled Lapwing, Crested Serpent-Eagle, Shikra, Oriental Honey-Buzzard, Rufous-winged Buzzard, Cattle Egret, Chinese Pond-Heron, Wooly-necked Stork, Golden-fronted Leafbird, Burmese Shrike, Black, Ashy, Crow-billed, Spangled, and Greater Racket-tailed Drongos, Red-billed Blue Magpie, Rufous Treepie, Large-billed Crow, Black-hooded Oriole, Common Iora, Indochinese Cuckooshrike, Bar-winged Flycatcher Shrike, Large Woodshrike, Common Woodshrike, Ashy Minivet, Small Minivet, Scarlet Minivet, White-browed Fantail, Black-naped Monarch, Asian Brown Flycatcher, Red-throated Flycatcher, Chestnut-tailed, Vinous-breasted, Black-collared, and Asian Pied Starlings, Chestnut-bellied and Velvet-fronted Nuthatches, Barn and Red-rumped Swallow, Sooty-headed and Streak-eared Bulbul, Brown, Rufescent, and Gray-breasted Prinias, Common Tailorbird, Radde’s Warbler, Yellow-browed Warbler, White-crested Laughingthrush, Olive-backed and Purple Sunbird, Olive-backed and Red-throated Pipit, Eurasian Tree Sparrow, and White-rumped Munia.
KRATIE - 24-25 March
Kratie (pronounced Kra-cheh) is the easiest and most accessible site for Mekong Wagtail. I took a bus from Phnom Penh ($8 return), getting to Kratie in the early afternoon. I quickly got a guesthouse room then headed off to the dolphin pools. The cheapest way to see the wagtail is to skip the middleman (a policeman) who sits at the parking lot, and just go straight to the boat drivers, using your driver as a translator. The official charge for taking a boat to see the dolphins is $5/person, but they try to charge extra for the wagtail even though it’s hardly any farther. That said, I had excellent and prolonged views of the wagtail, seeing a total of six, including a female with two juveniles. I also had great looks at a very confiding Small Pratincole on one of the islands and numerous quick looks at Irawaddy Dolphins. Other birds seen from the boat included Spot-billed Duck, Pied Kingfisher, Osprey, Peregrine Falcon, Little Cormorant, Darter, and Yellow-bellied Prinia.
I saw my only Asian Paradise Flycatcher of the trip at the base of the hill on the way back to town.
I spent the last few minutes of daylight and the first hour of the next day (before my bus back to PP) birding near the lake behind town which is known for Asian Golden Weavers, which I missed (with more time I surely would have seen it). The area was full of birds though, including hundreds of both Scaly-breasted and White-rumped Munias. Other birds seen were Blue-tailed and Green Bee-eater, Great and Cattle Egrets, Chinese Pond-Heron, Little and Indian Cormorants, Plaintive Cuckoo, Asian Palm Swift, Spotted and Red Collared Doves, Rufous Woodpecker, Black Drongo, Racket-tailed Treepie, Common Myna, Barn Swallow, Pied Fantail, Siberian Stonechat, Barn and Red-rumped Swallow, Yellow-vented and Streak-eared Bulbul, Yellow-bellied Prinia, Common Tailorbird, Bright-headed Cisticola, Thick-billed Warbler, Striated Grassbird, Dusky Warbler, Paddyfield and Red-throated Pipit, Yellow Wagtail, Eurasian Tree and Plain-backed Sparrows, Baya Weaver, and Yellow-breasted Bunting.
BOKOR NATIONAL PARK - 26-28 March
Bokor Hill Station sits atop a mountain in what is officially called Preah Monivong National Park, and is the most easily accessible site for Chestnut-headed Partridge. Getting there can be a pain, I took a bus to Kampot, getting in too late to take a share taxi to the station, so I hired a moto driver to take me up in order to avoid spending the night in Kampot. This is another highly not recommended moto trip. The road is terrible and my driver drove frighteningly fast. But we made it. It is best to arrange a return trip as well, which I didn’t do, but I didn’t have any trouble getting back down anyway.
The birding in the park was quite good, and I didn’t have too much trouble finding the partridge (a single and a pair). Other highlights included the recently described Plain-tailed Warbler (common), Orange-headed Thrush, and a rare-for-Cambodia Blue-and-white Flycatcher. I found the partridge along the trail described in Frank Rheindt’s trip report. To get to this trail, follow the one trail from the visitors center/lodge, which descends towards the old tea farm. Just before you get to the tea farm building’s ruins, there are a bunch of big rocks on the right. Walk between the rocks and across the stream, where the trail begins. After (very) roughly 1500m through stunted forest, the trail forks. Go left, and you will soon cross another fairly large stream. The trail continues on the other side of the stream, where it begins to descend into taller forest and the birdlife changes dramatically. It was a couple kilometers past the second stream crossing that I came across the partridges.
Other birds in the park: Silver Pheasant, Moustached and Blue-eared Barbet, Wreathed Hornbill, Red-headed Trogon, Asian Palm Swift, Mountain Imperial Pigeon, Barred Cuckoo-Dove, Long-tailed Broadbill, Asian Fairy Bluebird, Blue-winged Leafbird, Lesser Racket-tailed Drongos (many missing the long tail feathers), Black-winged Cuckooshrike, Black-naped Oriole, Bar-winged Flycatcher-Shrike, Mugimaki Flycatcher, Siberian Blue Robin (common and very responsive to pishing), Barn Swallow, Velvet-fronted Nuthatch, Black-headed Bulbul, Stripe-throated Bulbul, Ochraceous Bulbul (by range, they actually looked more like Puff-throated Bulbuls to me), Dusky, Radde’s, Yellow-browed, and Pale-legged Leaf Warblers, Puff-throated Babbler, White-browed Scimitar-Babbler, Streaked Wren-Babbler, Striped Tit-Babbler, White-browed Shrike-Babbler, White-bellied Erpornis (formerly Yuhina), Black-throated Sunbird.
During stops on the way back to Kampot I saw philippensis (orange-bellied) Blue Rock Thrush, Hill Myna, and Green-eared Barbet among more common birds.
PHNOM PENH - Various dates
Obviously, Phnom Penh didn’t have tons of birds, but I did see Black-browed and Oriental Reed Warblers in the reeds along the river, and Blue-tailed Bee-eater and Whiskered Tern along the river.t
