What's this trip about?

    Cambodia, renowned for the amazing temples of Angkor Wat, is equally famous in birding circles for the number of rare species found nowhere else on earth. Fortunately, conservation organisations reached the country in time to help save the unique diversity of birds and mammals that make Cambodia their home. Several important discoveries, in particular a good population of the stately, critically endangered Giant Ibis, White-shouldered Ibis and Bengal Florican. Newly described species are represented by Mekong Wagtail and Cambodian Tailorbird. Cambodia also offers the opportunity to search for several other species that are difficult to see elsewhere including Milky Stork, Greater Adjutant, White-rumped Falcon, Black-headed Woodpecker, Asian Golden Weaver and a plethora of wintering migrants with a chance of finding Oriental Plover on migration. This short tour takes in the main specialities of the country, especially productive for those that have previously birded the surrounding countries.

Days 4-5

During our two full days exploring the area surrounding Tmatboey we can hope to see most of our target species. We will walk through the open forest in search of small waterholes, or ‘trapeangs’, which offer us the best chance of locating the near-mythical Giant and W...

Day 6

After a final morning’s birding in the area searching for any missing species we head back to the Tonle Sap grasslands to enjoy the late afternoon with Bengal Florican once again. Any burnt areas of grassland wil be carefully scrutinised for flocks of Oriental Plover that pass through the area during March, along with bigger numbers of Pacific Golden Plover. Night in Kompong Thom.

Day 7

A different area of grassland will be visited this morning that holds a number of wintering and passage migrants, and there will also be plenty of chances to scan open areas for Oriental Plovers that might be passing through. As the temperature rises we travel over an...

Day 8

The morning will be spent aboard small boats along the Mekong River to the north of Kratie searching the small vegetated islands for the recently described Mekong Wagtail. An added attraction while searching for these birds is the small population of the critically en...

View Profile

Birdtour Asia are specialists in Asian birding tours, offering organised and tailor-made travel throughout the region.

Our tours are planned to optimise the birding opportunities at each site visited concentrating on the most enigmatic, localised and hard to find species. By allowing time for comprehensive coverage we will give ourselves the best realistic chance of locating these speciality birds of the region.

We aim to offer the best possible bird-tour experience through a combination of small group sizes, experienced and knowledgeable leaders, a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and of course some of the finest birding in the world. All of our leaders have extensive experience of the birds of the region and have spent prolonged periods exploring all the tour destinations.

Custom tours:

In addition to our scheduled tours, we also offer custom-designed birding tours for groups or individuals. We have extensive experience throughout South Asia, south-east Asia, the Philippines and Indonesia, and we can organise and guide tours to all areas covered by our scheduled tours and most other destinations in the region. Previous Birdtour Asia custom tours have visited Sichuan, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Borneo, the Philippines, Lesser Sundas, Sulawesi and Halmahera.

Custom tours have many advantages over our main tours; they are inherently more flexible, with group sizes and ground arrangements organised to your specific requirements. They are ideal for those who prefer to travel alone or with small groups of friends, birders with inflexible holidays that do not coincide with our scheduled tour dates or those with specific target species, which may be difficult to see on our main tours.

We can also organise custom extensions to any of our scheduled tours. If you would like to add extra time to one of these tours, please contact us with your plans and we will gladly offer information and advice to help you organise an itinerary which meets your requirements.

Custom tours are often comparable in cost to our scheduled departures and therefore offer fantastic value for money.
