Introduction
This is our custom birding tour with a total of six days across some parts of the protected areas.
On day one we started with Okoki, the Northern Forest near Laos border it is home to a variety of birds and wildlife. The semi-evergreen forest and the seasonal flooded ponds in this forest are the most important feeding ground for some endangered bird species; such as White-winged Duck, Bar-bellied Pitta and some woodland kingfisher, Banded Kingfisher, with Peliated Gibbon, and Indochinese Silver Langur are resided here.
We also visited the Mekong River, the longest-flowing river in Southeast Asia. This Mekong River flows across Cambodia from the Laos border down to the Vietnamese border. The upper Mekong River is the most wonderful habitat for Mekong Wagtails, and the endangered Irrawaddy Dolphins. The rice paddy fields and one of the big man-made reservoirs from the 1960s in Kratie town has become the incredible wetland and best habitat for a number of Waterfowl, such as Cotton Pygmy Goose and Indian Spot-billed Duck. Other species such as Pheasant-tailed Jacana, Grey-headed Swamphen, and Little Grebes are spending their whole time here. The rice paddy fields around here becomes a sweet home for the sparrows and allies. Hundreds of Scaly-breasted Munia move along and roost in the bushes nearby, the Plain-backed Sparrow, good looking bird also present here, Asian Golden Weaver is the stunning weaver and the male usually transforms and becomes such a golden bird during the breeding season. Red-throated Pipit the winter visitors, Pallas’s Grasshopper Warbler, Lanceolated Warblers, and even the very shy bird, Siberian Rubythroat also come here to this wonderful place.
After one night we continued to Tmat Boey, known as the “Giant Ibis” land located in “Kulen Promptep Wildlife Sanctuary. This name, Tmat Boey is a combination of the two languages, Khmer and Kouy, which means “Vulture taking a bath”. The amazing habitat of dry dipterocarp forest dominates the big range of the northern part of Cambodia, where most of the mega faunas reside here, such as Giant Ibis and White-shouldered Ibis. The special habitat here is home to many species of the woodpecker, Great Slaty, White-bellied, Black-headed, Yellow-crowned, and the stunning, Rufous-bellied Woodpecker. Some of the endemics to this forest habitat, Indochinese Cuckooshrike, Common Woodshrike, White-browed Fantail, Indochinese Bushlark, and the most handsome Blossom-headed Parakeets always are the bonus for all the birders and nature lovers who visit this wonderful place.
Before the trip ends, we visit one of the Bengal Florican Conservation Areas, north of Tonle Sap Basin, Lveng Ruesie or Prohoot located in Chikreng District, Siem Reap Province is the most important breeding ground of the critically endangered Bengal Florican which the subspecies is found here. The naturally protected grassland is the new hope for these poorly known birds and is a very productive site for many migrant species, Manchurian Reed Warbler, Black-browed Reed Warbler, Bluethroat, Pied Harrier, Eastern Marsh Harrier, and the breeding visitor, Oriental Pratincole, always choosing this location to lay their offspring before going back to their home.

Trip Report
Day 1: Siem Reap to Okoki via Koh Ker
Departure early from the hotel in Siem Reap and head to the Northern part of Siem Reap. After driving for around two hours, we stopped for our breakfast at one of the monasteries on the main road. It was such a great place to stop by as we saw many birds around here, such as Pied Bushchat, male and female, Black-hooded Oriole, Black-napped Oriole, and Sooty-headed Bulbul came to the tree. We suddenly heard the Chinese Francolin calling so close to where we were then we started to go off the breakfast point and followed the little track near us which, led us to the nesting tree of the Crested Treeswift. We saw one Chinese Francolin, Crested Treeswift, a pair constructing the nest together. On the small patch of the forest on the right-hand side of the track, we spotted the most beautiful Blossom-headed Parakeet, the beautiful males perched nicely on the tree there. Then we walked back to the car, on the way back with just less than ten minutes, we saw Chestnut-capped Babbler, and three Rufescent Prinia emerge from the grass and climbed up with some beautiful call. There were also two Grey-capped Pygmy Woodpeckers knocking on the small naked branched nearby.
Chinese Francolin
Leaving the breakfast area, we continued to Koh Ker Complex, the 10th-century Khmer Capital, after being issued the entrance ticket we then moved along a beautiful forest road in the area to visit Prasat Pram, which the number of the towers from this temple given its name. There were Rufous Treepies, which were spotted just before we moved into the building complex. This temple has three towers located side by side on the low common sandstone platform facing to the east. Around this beautiful temple, there is a dry dipterocarp forest, with low trees and open canopy and this time of the year it does look very open due to the leaves shed off giving us a great time to see more birds around here. Ashy Drongo, Hair-Crested Drongo, Greater Racket-tailed Drongo, Bar-winged Flycatcher Shrike, Large Wood Shrike, Common Wood shrike and White-rumped Shama here. Lineated Barbet, were just calling right on the top of the tree. We then moved around the small tour to see more temples.
We stopped by the temple called “Elephant Temple” and here we saw a small beautiful raptor, Rufous Buzzard perch nicely near the enclosure of the building. Then we moved to Prasat Thom, the huge Pyramid with seven leave and thirty-five meters high of the ground. We climbed this all the way to the top and we got some fantastic views. This afternoon, we had our lunch inside the temple here.
Leaving the temple, we then drove straight to Okoki which was very close to the Laos PDR border. Once we got off the main road and moved slowly to the Chheb Wildlife Sanctuary, we were welcomed by a number of Indochinese Bushlark which were foraging on the side of the road and got chased when the vehicle moved by. We kept driving along this dirt road and at one point we saw so many Indochinese Rollers, look like they had a meeting, there were eleven birds together and took turns catching the insects while there were some fire and smoke nearby this road. After sometimes driving, we then arrived at our camp before five in the afternoon. Overnight in the camp, a tent and a great dinner were prepared by the community.

Scaly-crowned Babbler
Day 2: Okoki
This morning, we got up very early had coffee and tea then walked to the forest pond hiding in the middle of the forest. We sat there and enjoyed the natural music with some calls from the birds nearby such as White-rumped Shama and Ochraceous Bulbul. We saw the White-breasted Waterhen foraging here.
After a couple of hours sitting here, one of our clients spotted something on the tree, and there were some movements on the tall tree that keep going on and on all the time. Then we managed to see a big group of Germain’s Silver Langer, around eleven monkeys using the tree canopy route to move from one place to others. After seeing them we then moved back to our camp for our breakfast.
Before lunch, we went outside of our camp and started to go to the dry forest. The weather was fine we walked slowly along the trail through the open dry forest habitat. There were some Green Bee-eater, Small Minivet, Brown Prinia and Rufescent Prinia moving alongside the track above the grassy vegetation and not very far, we had seen a few of the Eurasian Jays. Soon, we got into the small patch of the evergreen forest, and we began to hear the call of the Brown Boobook we managed to find them, and we saw two birds on the roosting tree. Then we saw Banded Kingfisher too. It was such a nice bird to see. Walked out of this forest we began to go again to the dry forest, there we had such a great chance to see White-rumped Falcon, there, were two birds, male and female came to check us.
This afternoon, we moved back to our camp and had lunch then a break until late afternoon, we walked to the second pond. We actually had no luck with the White-winged Duck, but in the pond, some species of the White-breasted Waterhen, and we saw Grey-headed Woodpecker, Laced Woodpecker, Grey-headed Canary Flycatcher. On the way back to our camp, we checked one of the big falling trees and we saw a few Intermediate Horseshoes Bats, roosting in the hollow truck. We had dinner here for the second night.

Day 3: Okoki to Kratie
This morning, we left our camp after we had breakfast, we then left the site and drove on the dirt road for around an hour to get to a place called “Kampong Srolao”. Here we stopped and bought some drinks and watched some bird species there. We actually got Scaly-breasted Munia, Plain-backed Sparrow and many House Sparrows kept busy building nests on the coconut trees.
Leaving this place, we moved along the same dirt road with the Mekong River on the other side. We packed some food from the camp because it is a long drive today to the target destination. Before we arrived at Stung Treng Town, we stopped at “Sopheak Mit Waterfall” the most wonderful and spectacular site in Preah Vihear Province. Here, we got a chance to see Mekong Wagtail, which is only present along the upper Mekong River, Wire-tailed Swallow, Indian Spot-billed Duck and Lesser Whistling Ducks moving along and fed on this River.
After that we found a quiet route, we stopped for our lunch and then continued to Kratie Province with around two and a half hours driving more. Before checking in at the hotel on the way we visited one of the man-made lakes near the city which store the water entirely for the dry season rice. We stopped the vehicle and walked slowly towards many different species of birds, Common Kingfisher, and in the lake, there was Cotton Pygmy Goose, Pheasant-tailed Jacana, Grey-headed Swamphen, and hundreds of Little Cormorants flying to the roost. On the shore, there were White Wagtails, Eastern Yellow Wagtail and Little Ringed Plover, foraging on the soft mud flat. Hundreds of Scaly-breasted Munias move on the bush from a rice paddy in order to get to roost. Tonight, we stayed in a hotel in the city.

Day 4: Kratie to Tmat Boey
This morning, we had breakfast in the town and then drove to the rice fields near the Mekong River. It was such a great place for us this time due to yesterday being so windy and we did not see our target. Started walking off from the trails we saw Plain-backed Sparrows perched on the scrub by the pond and Chinese Pond-herons walking on the dyke. In the sky, Little Cormorant flew off from the roost toward the Mekong River as usual and feral Rock Pigeons were quite busy flying back and forth around here as well. Not very far from the car we walked down to the small pond surrounded by reeds and we saw Pied Bushchat male and female, Red-throated Pipits and some Paddy field Pipit foraging in the harvested rice field around here. We kept scanning around this little pond until a golden colour appeared on the reed near the nest itself. We had Asian Golden Weaver, the bright yellow male and female just perched over the reed here. Sometimes this Weaver got chased by the Plain-backed Sparrow.

After this, we got back to the car and continued to Tmat Boey. We stopped for lunch in Tbeng Town and bought some fruits there. Around three in the afternoon, we arrived at the Tmat Boey Eco-tourism site, located in Tmatboey Thoerun Krosang, Preah Vihear Province. We met our local guide and we settle off with our car and guide to get to the Giant Ibis site.
After driving around twenty minutes, we managed to turn in to the roosting site of this massive Ibis. We stopped the car and walked around three hundred meters to the old roosting tree, there we got one juvenile Giant Ibis, with the parents nearby. While watching the Giant Ibis, we had a really good time watching Great Slaty Woodpecker, Black-headed Woodpecker, Greater Yellownape, Common Flameback, and Greater Flameback. We stayed here until sunset. Before we walked back to the car, we spent around fifteen minutes with the lovely Oriental Scops Owl, but no luck as the bird had not really shown up, just a nice call nearby. We arrived at our lodge by seven in the evening then we had dinner at that time.

Day 5: Tmat Boey
This morning we departed from our eco-lodge very early in the morning. We were driving through the bushes and rice fields in order to get to the roosting tree of the White-shouldered Ibis. After we stopped our car, we then began to walk around a few hundred meters from our car through more rice fields and hope to get the ibis on the tree, but we had no luck this time, as the birds moved to roost the other place. We then walked back and we saw the first Green Pigeon for our trip, there were a lot of Yellow-footed Green-pigeon roosting right there.
The areas seem to have more fruits. There are several Oriental Pied Hornbills flying from tree to tree and made our observation so well. We arrived back at our car then; we had our fried rice and omelette small breakfast. After we all have a good time for breakfast, then Mr. Sert took us through some part of the forest. We actually had a chance to see Brown Fish Owl sitting and sleeping on a tall tree far away from us. The Small Minivet, and Scarlet Minivet we flying around with Common Woodshrike.
We then continued to the next rice fields not far from here and we hope that our White-shouldered Ibis would probably be foraging around. While moving around, we saw the tree with the most beautiful flower, “The common flame of the forest” where, so many Blossom-headed Parakeets were flying around and perched, and eaten. There were some of the Plain-backed Sparrow here as well. After one Kilometer of walking, we did not find the bird, and we decided to check the other possible area so we headed back to the car and drove for around one hour to a place called “Korkoh Thnol”. After parking a car, we walked for around twenty minutes, then we started to see several Javan Pond-heron feeding in the little pond in the rice field suddenly, there was one of the White-shouldered Ibis feeding together then it flew to perch on the tree nearby and our mission was done. By eleven in the morning, we drove back to our lodge and had lunch there.
A single White-shouldered Ibis
This afternoon, around two thirty in the afternoon, we left our lodge again and we headed to the place called “Phnom Reang”, this area was rich in Woodpecker species. After parking the car, we then refilled our water and walked slowly through some parts of the dry forest with many trees and not that tall. This afternoon, we saw so many different bird species beginning with the Indochinese Bushlarks, Small Minivet, Crested Treeswift, Lineated Barbet and some of the Red-rumped Swallow in the sky. This forage here is mixed with some small part of grassy areas, which is home for the day roosting “Savanna Nightjar” and today, we saw three of them and one is the fledgling.
Leaving this area, we moved to a little bump that people call “Phnom Reang” which is around two meters high from the bottom. We stood up there and observed birds while the sunset was giving the best colour behind us. Chinese Francolin were calling around, Chestnut-tailed Starling was moving on the tree, Indian Cuckoo was singing nearby and so many Blossom-headed Parakeet still foraging on the tree canopy. Then the beautiful Rufous-bellied Woodpecker had shown up on the tree knocking the trunk and moving around here for quite a pleasant time for us.
Before we lost the light, we moved back to our car, but not very far from that little hill, we saw the handsome and beautiful male and female Yellow-crowned Woodpeckers feeding on the tree giving us the best opportunity to photograph and observed them very well. While we watching them, two of the Indian Cuckoo were chasing each other and appeared just near the Yellow-crowned Woodpecker, and then another pair of Black-headed Woodpecker has come and visited us as well. In just a short moment, we have seen four different species of Woodpecker.
Last but not least, the last woodpecker that came to surprise us was the Freckle-breasted Woodpecker we spent a few days looking for it, but we got this bird right here, just before we arrived at our car. Tonight, we stayed in our lodge.

Rufous-winged Buzzard
Day 6: Tmat Boey to Siem Reap via Bengal Florican Grasslands
We departed very early from Tmat Boey Ecolodge and we were driving back to one of the Bengal Florican Conservation Areas called “Lveng Reusei” in Preahoot Commune. We stopped at a few places along the road and had breakfast and finally, we arrived here around ten in the morning. It was quite hot already.
On the way to the grassland, we saw many birds, such as Siamese Pied Starling, Pied Harrier, Eastern Marsh Harrier, Black-collared Starling, Horsfield’s Bushlark, Oriental Skylark, Red Avadavat, Blue-tailed Bee-eater, Green Bee-eater, Chestnut Munia and everything was keeping busy over the grassland and rice paddy fields here. This morning, we had no luck seeing the Florican due to the hot day.
This afternoon, we decided to stay and waited to see the bird again till late afternoon. After lunch, we found a small house on the main road and had lunch then took a break there with the nice hammock from the driver and we tied it for our clients. While sitting and waiting here, we saw Plain Prinia, Plain Backed Sparrow, Common Kingfisher, Oriental Reed Warbler and many House Sparrows. Around three thirty, we moved again into the Grassland and we had one more man from the village to help look for the Bengal Florican in the field more. The mission started and three men moved around the place where they thought the Florican used to stay during the hot day. They spent nearly an hour and finally we had one beautiful male Bengal Florican landing just near our car and we got just a great time observing this amazing bird.
In the sky, four Sarus Cranes flew over the field from where they were foraging at the roosting area. All of these are such a bonus for the client. Finally, our mission was accomplished and we were ready to drive back home. The journey back to the city was around ninety minutes.
