The interest in birds and wildlife is increasing in Cambodia, which is an encouraging sign and should be supported.

The ones in Battambang were amazed when I took a large rat snake into the class and let them touch it, saved it from some builders who were trying to make it lunch.

There's some crooked looking birds I don't enjoy watching in this country
Even though most bird watchers are obnoxious and arrogant, this is still a good and promising development.

You're surprised that Cambodians are taking interest in a hobby that involves standing around and staring at things?
Follow my lame Twitter feed: @gavin_mac
Gavinmac is only interested in watching and photographing shirtless birds on the riverside.

Vlad. Yes,
I look at 'goings' and "interesteds' on various posts and this is an excellent, and surprising, level of interest. Ned Kelly's latest music gig hasn't got nearly that much interest. ...it'll be at Show Bix if anyone is interested.

They probably thought it was a KFC special offer.

Really? Most bird watchers I have met over the years were very nice people; mostly the hardcore twitchers that can be a real pain.Harold wrote:Even though most bird watchers are obnoxious and arrogant, this is still a good and promising development.

I suppose some people who love animals grow to be semi-sociopathic, but most herpers/birders/wildlife enthusiasts I have met are nice people.
I guess if you share their interests, that helps.
