Some birds near Phnom Penh

On 31 July there was a Lesser Sand Plover with a juvenile Little Ringed and a few Black-winged Stilts on a sand-spit in Boeung Veal Basset. Chestnut-capped Babbler was seen carrying nest material on a hill slightly beyond the marsh. At Prek Ksach an adult Little Ringed Plover was present on 2 August.

    1. Birding is not as popular among Cambodians as among Thais, but there are increasingly more international birders making special trips to see some of the iconic species.
