International arrivals into Siem Reap International Airport. Night in Siem Reap.
Full morning visiting the Prek Toal waterbird colony by boat. Thousands of nesting Spot-billed Pelican, Asian Openbill and Oriental Darter will be much in evidence, and from the designated viewing platforms we hope to find nesting Milky Stork and Greater Adjutant, bot...
Early morning visit to the grasslands that run alongside the perimeter of the huge Tonle Sap in search of Bengal Florican. Large numbers of wintering migrants make these grasslands their home, especially large numbers of Eastern Marsh and Pied Harriers, we could even ...
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...
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.
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...
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...

Tour Operator
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.
