Getting rarer and rarer in Cambodia as the grasslands disappear. First time I went to look for them was near Kampong Cham. Still a lot of mines around there then, as the mines were removed, the Bengal Floricans soon disappeared from that site.

Any idea of these- some sort of stork or ibis? Something on Facebook suggests that there has been a mass poisoning, unsure where it is.
Massive stalker
It takes a special kind of ignorant, inbred dickhead to poison these birds

The Aviary collaborates with local guides to curate birdwatching package for guests in Cambodia
Available until April 30, 2024, the experience promises an unforgettable journey into the heart of Siem Reap's rich wildlife.
Bird watchers are known to fly far and wide to catch rare feathered species in their natural environment. This holiday season, if you are planning a break to indulge in that quiet activity and unwind at the same time, why not kill two birds with one stone by heading to The Aviary in Siem Reap, Cambodia?
The interior of this 43-room boutique hotel is designed with elements that reflect the beauty of birds. As you settle into avian-inspired furniture, check out its bird-watching tour package led by local guides.
Cambodia has more than 600 bird species that thrive in its natural surroundings. Among them are the Asian Barred Owlet, Black Baza, Black-headed Woodpecker, Collared Falconet, Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker, Blossom-headed Parakeet and, if you are lucky, the elusive Blue Rock Thrush.
After a day out among winged creatures, gather with like-minded enthusiasts at The Flock Café and exchange notes on what you spotted and where, and the many fun facts behind birding, which helps people connect with nature and each other.
For details on Aviary’s birdwatching package, available from April 2024, visit theaviaryhotel.com.

Obviously not written by a birder. They list some of the commonest birds in Cambodia. And the Blue Rock-thrush is not "elusive".Bong Burgundy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 6:34 pm
