Cambodian Bird News

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

There have been a number of news items about birds in the Khmer news recently. It seemed like a good idea to keep them together in one thread, so this thread is for news or discussion or opinions on anything related to birds in Cambodia : bird watching, discoveries, saving endangered birds ...

Oriental Pratincole’s Nests Discovered in Cambodia
AKP Phnom Penh, April 27, 2020 --
Image
BirdLife Cambodia has announced to discover nests of the Oriental Pratincole in the Southeastern part of Cambodia.

“The nests of the Oriental Pratincole finally discovered by our ranger team working at BirdLife Cambodia project site in Lower Mekong- south-east Cambodia!” said BirdLife Cambodia in a statement released this afternoon.
Image
Recent studies by researchers from Australasian Wader Study Group (AWSG) have found the Oriental Pratincole to be astonishing migrants, travelling more than 8,000 kilometres from where they spend their winter (in Australia) to their nesting grounds here in Cambodia (and also further west in India), it pointed out.

“Our pratincoles are probably from the same populations as the now famous individuals SHE and SEC, and having recently returned from their journeys to Australia,” it underlined.

The oriental pratincole (Glareola maldivarum), also known as the grasshopper-bird or swallow-plover is 23–24 centimetre long and weighs approximately 75 grammes. Its total population is about 2.5 million, according to Birdlife International.

The OZ - Cambodia connection
Fascinating, what they can do with satellite trackers these days

Just like Hanno says, SHE (leg flag ID) flew from Oz - straight to Ang Traepang Thnor area.

I used to see flocks of thousands of Parakeets at ATT; sadly, they are mostly gone now.
