CAMBODIA

Once again, this year’s Birdquest to Cambodia was a very enjoyable affair. We recorded 283 species, a very rich bird-list that included many spectacular birds. In the few short years since we first began visiting this fascinating country, the roads have improved dramatically and the accommodations become more comfortable, all adding to the efficiency and enjoyment of birding here. Of course the main draw on this tour is without a doubt the Giant Ibis, and once again we were not disappointed. In the dry woodlands of Preah Vihear province we began our search for this goliath before dawn, led in darkness to wait near a roosting place. With the first lightening of the sky, we could here the eerie bugling of these birds, and then three of them flew into view and alighted on top of a large bare tree nearby, waking up to another day and surveying their kingdom. What a thrill! We saw maybe seven birds in total, and what is even more remarkable is that only as recently as early 2001 was this majestic bird re-discovered, by camera-traps set up to record mammals coming to remote forest pools. That was the first proof of its existence since 1962, and now this is the sixth Birdquest trip to see it!
