53 Glossy Ibises Found in a Protected Area in Takeo
AKP Phnom Penh, May 11, 2021 --
A herd of glossy ibises – a migratory bird species – have been found in a Takeo protected area in late April, a new phenomenon, according to BirdLife International Cambodia Programme.
There are in total 53 of them, including 12 adolescents frequenting Boeung Prek Lapouv Protected Landscape in Takeo province, it added.
On April 26, 2021, a group of rangers, in cooperation with biodiversity officers, patrolled Boeung Prek Lapouv Protected Landscape – one of the largest remnants of seasonally inundated grasslands in the Lower Mekong Region, and discovered the herd, the area’s ranger team leader Mr. Chhoeurn Socheat said by phone.
All of those glossy ibises came to that area very early, the team leader continued.
"Normally, the glossy ibises approach Boeung Prek Lapouv around July to August before the water level rises, and December before the water recedes, but this year, they came very early in late April," he explained.

I reckon this project could thrive - and it is in exactly the right place to awaken and reinforce Khmer's latent but fierce pride for their wild animals and birds.
That pride is the best asset to work with for wildlife conservation in Cambodia, imo.

Regarding the otters there are currently 4. The parents who had 2 offspring. One of those (the male) no longer hangs out with the parents and seems to do his own thing. The parents and daughter can be seen occasionally in the Angkor Thom moat area.
It would be nice if the parents have more offspring...or further otters are released so that the population can increase a little.

Re: Cambodian Bird News
Thanks Stevito, great details.
Two is a small litter, but not that uncommon.
If they feel safe they could become habituated and surprisingly relaxed around humans.
- and will have more litters.
Yes, they will need to introduce new genetic stock too.

Number of Green Peacocks Increasing in Cambodia
AKP Phnom Penh, June 09, 2021 --
Cambodia has noted an increase of Green Peacocks, a globally endangered species in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, in the Keo Seima wildlife sanctuary in the northeastern Mondolkiri province.
The news was shared yesterday by H.E. Neth Pheaktra, Secretary of State and Spokesperson at the Ministry of Environment, stressing that the trend was recorded by automatic cameras installed in the area.
The ministry's joint study with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in Cambodia released in late 2020 reported 966 Green Peacocks sheltering in the Keo Seima wildlife sanctuary, very well protected and rich of biodiversity.
The world recorded between 15,000 and 20,000 adult peacocks and Cambodia has between 2,000 and 3,000 of the animal living especially in sanctuaries, national parks and other protected areas in Mondulkiri, Stung Treng, Rattanakiri and Siem Reap provinces.

Peacocks took a beating. Used to see a huge roost in Seima until they were all trapped out at once.

Re: Cambodian Bird News
Asian openbill storks hatch 85 per cent of eggs this year
Long Kimmarita | Publication date 06 July 2021 | 21:04 ICT
Bird life International Cambodia has reported that eggs in 85 per cent of Asian openbill stork nests in the Boeung Prek Lapouv protected area have successfully hatched in the mating season this year, while the total number of nests in the area was the most seen there in more than 15 years.
The more than 8,000ha nature reserve was established by the government in 2016 in Takeo province.
BirdLife said on July 5 that in the mating season in 2020 hundreds of Asian openbills had foraged in the area and that they had made at least 2,186 nests in 270 freshwater mangrove lagoons.
“With the assistance of Birdlife and the attention and care of environmental rangers on the field team the eggs of the Asian openbills have successfully hatched,” it said.
Boeung Prek Lapouv nature reserve deputy head Lim Vath said that 85 per cent of eggs in the 2,186 nests have successfully hatched, while 15 per cent did not succeed because they had suffered damage due to flooding because the nests were on the lower branches of trees, rainstorms damaged them or people had stolen the eggs.
He added that, on average, there were 5,580 Asian openbill chicks each year and around 10 per cent of those would die from disease and various other factors. Forty per cent of them were forced to leave their nests and habitats due to drought and a lack of water resources or lack of food.
“Currently, 50 per cent of Asian openbill chicks (about 2,790 of them) have stayed in their nests in their current habitat. Some have just hatched, so they cannot fly away from their mothers and fathers. We have also observed that some mothers and fathers have collected small cordwood to repair their nests and make new nests on higher branches,” he said.
