This combination of Cambodia and Myanmar proved highly rewarding as we recorded 440 species including all of the endemic and near-endemic species possible on the tour.
Starting with a few days in Cambodia for the big-four – Giant Ibis, White-shouldered Ibis, Bengal Florican and Mekong Wagtail we then moved across to Myanmar enjoying all the specialities; in Shan State Burmese Yuhina, Jerdon’s Bushchat and Collared Myna all behaved impeccably, all the dry-zone endemics were picked up in just a few hours on our first day with Jerdon’s Minivet and Hooded Treepie appearing just minutes apart, then finally the showpiece of any visit to Myanmar, Mount Victoria. The nuthatch performed regularly, a locust-like flock of Buff-breasted Parrotbill appeared then disappeared, Brown-capped and Striped Laughingthrushes, Mount Victoria Babax and plenty of feisty Burmese Tits.
A fine supporting cast completed a successful trip; White-rumped Falcon, Oriental Scops Owl, Asian Golden Weaver, Hodgson’s Frogmouth, Vivid Niltava, Lagger Falcon, Grey-sided Thrush, White-eyed Buzzard, all nightjars, 9 species of minivet, 20 species of woodpecker, and the list goes on and on!

We began the tour with a mid-morning arrival into Siem Reap, after spending a couple of hours admiring Angkor Wat (as you have to if you visit Cambodia, don’t you!) for its history, architecture, Black Bazas and Ashy Minivets, we enjoyed our first sampling of the excellent Cambodian cuisine before driving into the remote northern plains of Preah Vihear province and arriving in time to settle down to enjoy 13 White-shouldered Ibis flying into their roosting tree right in front of us.
Walking pre-dawn through the open dry dipterocarp forest was negative for roosting Giant Ibis but as we walked to their feeding areas a pair of Spotted Wood Owls performed for us sitting in a bare tree chuckling at us. Settling down on the edge of some rice-fields to tuck into our breakfast proved to be the perfect location as a pair of Giant Ibis flew in and landed directly above us, just 20 metres away! Fortunately we recovered from this shock before they did, giving us the closest views I’ve had in some 20 visits! They then got back their senses, circling around before landing rather more distantly for us to view.
With the two main targets for the site now completed we relaxed and enjoyed the birding here, surely one of the best sites in Asia for good, prolonged views of a variety of forest species, thanks to the open nature of the habitat. White-rumped Falcon, another specialist of the area was straight-forward, with a female giving prolonged views, staring down at us until our local guide beckoned us over to a Brown Wood Owl roosting in full view.
Birding in bamboo and evergreen forest-dominated habitat on a couple of occasions brought a new set of birds, notably nesting Chestnut-headed Bee-eater, wintering Swinhoe’s Minivet, Hainan Blue Flycatcher, Violet Cuckoo, Racket-tailed Treepie, Great Iora, Abbott’s Babbler, a surprise Himalayan Swiftlet and, more importantly, several Pale-capped Pigeons, often flying-by at close range.
In the evening we tried different areas for various night-birds; our first evening produced an Oriental Scops Owl at ridiculously close-range for as long as we wanted, while the next was just as good as a Savanna Nightjar continually circled just above our heads with bill wide-open.
As usual here, woodpeckers really performed, and in numbers. Two of Asia’s finest, Black-headed and Great Slaty both did their thing, flying and landing around us in small groups. 8 other species were seen including Spot-breasted and a superb, close White-bellied.

During our 2½ days birding in the area we picked up plenty of other typical residents and migrants including Lesser Adjutant, Rufous-winged Buzzard, Asian Barred Owlet, Spotted Owlet, Chinese Francolin in full view, a pair of Barred Buttonquail running around a burnt paddy, Orange-breasted and Yellow-footed Green Pigeons, Oriental Pied Hornbill, Blossom-headed and Alexandrine Parakeets, Large-tailed Nightjar, Indochinese Bushlark, Indochinese Cuckooshrike, Golden-fronted Leafbird, Brown and Grey-breasted Prinias, White-browed Fantail, White-crested Laughingthrush, Chestnut-bellied Nuthatch, Common and Large Woodshrike and Red-billed Blue Magpie.

Next up was an afternoon and a morning in the grasslands on the Tonle Sap floodplain for another very special bird, the critically endangered Bengal Florican, which now numbers just a few hundred birds throughout its fragmented range. During the afternoon we had repeated views of a male that culminated in a fantastic display as the light began to drop, leaping up into the air, gradually undulating back down, this was made even better by a male Pied Harrier quartering in the same view. In the late afternoon sunshine a walk through the grasslands kicked up a few other species; Small Buttonquail being the most notable, Lanceolated Warblers, Oriental Reed Warbler, a single Richard’s Pipit, Red Avadavat, Oriental Pratincoles and 5 Sarus Crane leisurely flying by.
A mornings visit to the more scrubby, wetter areas revealed good numbers of wintering Black-browed and Oriental Reed Warblers, a Ruddy-breasted Crake, Watercock, both Cinnamon and Yellow Bitterns and Bluethroats around a vegetated pond while over 100 Eastern Marsh Harriers left their roost site. In the bushes were good numbers of Baya Weaver and still over 100 Yellow-breasted Bunting, though their numbers are still declining annually. Our main target, White-shouldered Starling was notable by its absence so it was a bit of a relief finding a flock feeding by the roadside after we departed to head across the Mekong to the small river-side town of Kratie.
Arriving at Kratie by mid-afternoon gave us time to visit an area of lush rice-fields, almost ripe for picking, and bad news for the farmers, but great news for us – over 1000 weavers, of which 95% were Streaked Weaver. Following obscured views of a male Asian Golden Weaver on arrival it took some time before it reappeared, along with 8 others in various plumages, feeding in the open just in front of us. Several Pallas’s Grasshopper Warbler revealed themselves before we visited a nearby marsh towards dusk. We picked up the expected species here – Black Bittern, Black-backed Swamphen, Grey-headed Lapwing, Pheasant-tailed Jacana and a few Dusky Warblers.
Our final mornings birding before heading to the capital, Phnom Penh, was a rather relaxing experience as we spent a leisurely hour aboard our boat on the River Mekong. The boat trip seeks out the recently-described Mekong Wagtail, which performed superbly when eventually located. A small Grey-throated Martin colony was active though little else bird-wise was evident so we spent some time with the Irrawaddy Dolphins around our boat before toasting a successful first week to the tour.

An early morning departure from Phnom Penh saw us arrive in Shan State, eastern Myanmar by mid-afternoon having travelled via Bangkok and Yangon. We managed to keep up our daily tick for everyone whilst stopping en-route to Kalaw for a roadside Wire-tailed Swallow we noticed that a group of White-vented Myna feeding on the edge of a marsh contained four Collared Myna, a species restricted to eastern and northern Burma and a tiny area of Yunnan. Surprisingly the marsh also held a group of Grey-headed Lapwing and several Wire-tailed Swallow.
With a full day at our disposal around the old colonial hill-station of Kalaw we spent all morning and the early afternoon birding by Yay-aye-kan Reservoir. As the sun rose over the scrub and paddies various conspicuous birds appeared – Yellow-footed Green Pigeon, Blyth’s Shrike Babbler, Long-tailed Shrike, Red-vented and Red-whiskered Bulbuls, Black-backed Sibia, Streak-breasted Scimitar Babbler and a couple of very brief White-browed Laughingthrushes. It took a bit of time before Spectacled Barwings came into view, showing rather longer than a couple of brief Chestnut Buntings for Denzil.
Not wanting to waste time we headed into the evergreen forest in search of the areas speciality, the rarely-encountered Burmese Yuhina. We spent much of the morning scrutinising the feeding flocks in search of the prize without success, though plenty other goodies turned up; Asian Emerald Cuckoo, Speckled Piculet, Small Niltava, Marten’s Warblers, Slaty-bellied Tesia, Hill Blue Flycatcher, Davison’s, Greenish and Hume’s Leaf Warblers, Ashy Bulbul and also a mixed group of Pin-tailed and Thick-billed Green Pigeons. As the heat began to intensify we turned around and retraced our steps – a good idea as finally the shout came up from Mark of ‘Yuhina!’ as a pair of Burmese Yuhina were found firstly in the canopy before flying down to the trackside to feed on some small berries and giving mind-blowing views for several minutes before heading back into the forest, brilliant. Following a relaxing lunch on the dam-wall we headed back through the conifers back to town, finding Black-headed Greenfinch, Yellow-streaked and Buff-throated Warblers along the way, with plenty of time for us to drive over to the shores of Lake Inle in preparation for the following morning.

Dawn along the shores of Lake Inle is a special experience, as the mist rises from the lake and the sun begins to penetrate over the distant hills and mist, the air is filled with the song of Indian Reed Warblers that perch conspicuously aloft the extensive stands of phragmites and the leg-rowing boatman aboard their simple canoes surround us as they go to attend their floating gardens and putting out their fish-nets. For us it gains a special significance as the channels we slowly ride through are home to several pairs of Jerdon’s Bushchat, busy either feeding in close pairs or males sat-out in full view singing their sweet, simple song.
Riding through the channels and lakes-edge birds were everywhere; the floating vegetation holding Pheasant-tailed Jacana, Indian Swamphens, Citrine Wagtails and Siberian Stonechats; Black-browed Reed Warblers, Dusky Warblers and Bluethroats were at the reedy-edges, on the open water big numbers of Lesser Whistling Duck, Eurasian Coot and a 100 Garganey dabbled while overhead Western Marsh Harrier and Black-shouldered Kite hunted and a couple of flocks of Glossy Ibis passed-by.
After returning to shore for lunch we found out our flight had been delayed by a couple of hours so some roadside birding produced 10 more Collared Myna and a Greater Spotted Eagle that, though found circling distantly must have noticed the intrigued bunch of birders and proceeded to come right over us.

Two of Myanmar’s four dry-zone endemics are notoriously difficult to find, so we had to give ourselves a couple of days around the 2200 stupas and pagodas of Bagan in order to find them. However, by 730am on our first day we miraculously had excellent views of all four! Jumping out of the vehicle, even before the endemics we admired a pair of hulking Laggar Falcon waking up before circling their stupa and away for breakfast. Our first ace was two groups of Jerdon’s Minivet that suddenly appeared in front of us, the male in particular being well appreciated with talk of a potential bird-of-the-trip, such is the delightfulness of this dainty bird with delicate peachy breast on his pied plumage. Literally the moment they flew away we picked up a pair of Hooded Treepie flying into a distant Cactus, a quick scramble towards the bush drew a blank – they really are the masters of escapes, though fortunately we picked them up further away and they then showed themselves feeding inside a bush for some time before undulating off and away. The other two endemics proved typically straight-forward as family groups of the charismatic White-throated Babbler kept us entertained throughout the day (even in the hotel gardens) and Burmese Bushlarks seemed to sing from every telegraph wire and cacti.
The morning continued to be excellent; pairs of Spotted Owlet were enjoyed at both breakfast and in the field, huge numbers of both Plain-backed Sparrow and Little Green Bee-eater swirled around as they left their roosts, the endemic subspecies of Eurasian Collared Dove showed on numerous occasions, as did Oriental Honey Buzzard, Brown Prinia, Yellow-streaked Warbler, burmannicus Vinous-breasted Myna (a likely split), while singles of Yellow-eyed Babbler, Jungle Myna and White-eyed Buzzard appeared.
In the afternoon we put in some effort for Rain Quail, eventually flushing up a covey of five birds from the dense acacia thickets, we even found an additional four Jerdon’s Minivets (honestly, they really are difficult usually!), a roosting Indian Nightjar, another Lagger Falcon and a few other bits-and-pieces before we went to the Dhamma Yarzaka Temple to enjoy a wonderful, relaxing sunset overlooking a landscape of endless stupas and temples.

A long driving day towards Mount Victoria in Chin state took us through patches of degraded but perfectly adequate forest. Starting in the early morning in the dry open dipterocarp forest, so reminiscent of our previous week in Cambodia produced similar birds, including White-rumped Falcon, of which we had 2 pairs buzzing around us for a couple of hours, even from the comforts of our seated outdoor breakfast. This was an important target as the well-marked endemic harmandi race is surprisingly distinct, also important to see was the recent split of Chestnut-bellied Nuthatch here – Neglected Nuthatch – though the vocalisations and appearance of this split appears a little premature based on our field experience of the pair. Over us was the flight path of parakeets heading out from their roosts. All five species possible were passing over us – Alexandrine, Rose-ringed, Red-breasted, Blossom-headed, and most importantly, good numbers of Finsch’s Parakeet, a species with a wide distribution but rarely encountered outside of Myanmar.
Moving on we ventured through degraded lowland forest dominated by bamboo thickets which was home to an unusually inquisitive and settled Pale-headed Woodpecker, though our attentions switched when the nasal call of the little-known Olive Bulbul drew us further along the road. Frustratingly, when the bulbuls eventually appeared it was only brief enough for a few of us to enjoy this near-Burmese endemic and a welcome tick for James! Eventually, after a few birding stops, including White-crowned Forktail, we reached our base for the next five nights, on the lower slopes of Mount Victoria.

We spent four full days birding the slopes of the beautiful Mount Victoria. Despite its remoteness and difficult access it is one of the most well-known areas in south-east Asia ornithologically as it is home to the most range-restricted nuthatch on earth, the White-browed Nuthatch, known only from only and a single neighbouring mountain. The nuthatch proved straight forward for is, it took just 30 minutes on our first morning when one flew in, at eye-level for as long as we needed, this was our first of over 20 during our stay. We birded several different habitats during our stay, with much of our time spent in the lush evergreen forests of the upper slopes. Numerous roving feeding flocks here largely composed of Buff-barred Warblers (sometimes numbering 50+ per flock), Fire-tailed and Mrs Gould’s Sunbirds. Also present at some point or another were Striated Bulbul, Hume’s Treecreeper, Short-billed Minivet, pairs of endemic Burmese Tit, Whistler’s, Grey-hooded, Blyth’s Leaf and Black-faced Warblers, White-tailed Nuthatch, Green, Black-eared and Blyth’s Shrike Babblers (the latter part of the recent four-way split of White-browed), Grey Sibia, Yellow-browed, Green-backed, Red-crowned and single Yellow-cheeked Tits, a single Fire-capped Tit, Fire-breasted Flowerpecker, Chestnut-flanked White-eye, Whiskered and Stripe-throated Yuhina, Streak-throated and Rusty-fronted Barwings, Blue-winged Siva, Chestnut-tailed and Red-tailed Minlas; the list really could just go on and on!
The flocks were often centred on ‘bleeding’ trees where numerous Rufous-bellied Woodpeckers were busy ‘sapsucking’, leaving hundreds of holes on some trees for many species, particularly Grey Sibia to extract the insects caught in the sap. Wintering thrushes were notably thin on the ground though we eventually found an area with several fruiting trees and a good sized flock of Grey-sided Thrushes with a sprinkling of Eye-browed and while James’s brief Black-breasted Thrush never reappeared a male Vivid Niltava popping up in front of us while searching for it was ample compensation!

Despite the large number of birds in these flocks most of the real gems were found in isolation in the evergreen – a much-wanted Black-headed Shrike Babbler was eventually located, singing above us, 3 vocal Himalayan Cutia sang around us for an eternity, an excited pair of Broad-billed Warbler, plenty of Himalayan Bluetails, the most prolonged views of the ever-so elusive Spotted Wren Babbler one could ever have, but hats off to the pair of Chin Hills Wren Babblers that crept around us for over 20 minutes just 1-2 metres away most of the time, giving views that wren babbler just aren’t supposed to!

In the scrubby edges of the forest and open coniferous forest the avifauna was noticeably different; Brown-capped and Assam Laughingthrushes appeared, Mount Victoria Babax, vocally distinct from Chinese Babax, appeared on a couple of occasions, even feeding on the road at one point, a couple of pairs of Spot-breasted Parrotbill popped-up at the right moment, a flock of Yellow-billed Blue Magpie, Black-throated Prinia, a confiding Brown Bush Warbler, Slaty-blue Flycatcher, pairs of Black-bibbed Tit, Bar-tailed Treecreeper, Long-tailed Minivet, Chestnut-vented Nuthatch, though topping all was the flock of some 70 Buff-breasted Parrotbills that we were literally non-stop and provided great fun for all deciding if it was best use binoculars or not, and for the photographers excitement was largely replaced by frustration as they moved through the understorey like a swarm of locusts. Despite it still being February much of the wintering passerines appeared to have left already though we eventually found a good-sized flock of Little Buntings containing two male Chestnut Buntings and, overhead, a pair of Yellow-breasted Greenfinch, here of the noticeably different heinrichi race, restricted to the Chin Hills and the bordering Indian states.
Raptors were relatively thin on the ground, except daily Himalayan Buzzards and Black Eagle, perched Oriental Hobby was noteworthy, as was a circling Northern Goshawk.

We spent a morning on the heavily degraded lower slopes of the mountain. This habitat turned up a new set of birds, as we birded from the comforts of our stools with kit-kats and coffee! Not long after the sun hit the scrub pairs of near-endemic Striped Laughingthrushappeared though the calling Spot-breasted Scimitar Babbler refused to come any closer and was so insistent we eventually got up and went to look for him! Smart move as he gave fantastic views at close-range. Nearby a vocal Rufous-backed Sibia was a surprise, Nepal Fulvetta, Large Niltava, Crested Finchbill, Slaty-backed Flycatcher, Wedge-tailed Green Pigeon andOriental Hobby also appeared. As we walked down slope a fine feeding flock was full of Streak-breasted Scimitar Babbler and Assam Laugingthrush and after diligent waiting a pair of Crimson-faced Liocichla were also located in the flock, even giving scopes views. The major target down here, Rusty-capped Fulvetta, took a bit of time but eventually a pair succumbed.

Our brief night-time forays started out in frustration as a couple of Hodgson’s Frogmouth teased us, though one evening produced a fantastic Grey Nightjar circling and calling just above us in the spotlight. After trying a couple of different strategies we found a perfect looking spot to attract a frogmouth, where it took just ten minutes at dusk before he flew straight in and gave point-blank views for a good ten minutes before deciding he had had enough of the limelight.

On our return to Bagan from Mount Victoria we birded the evergreen in the early morning, picking up a pair of Grey-faced Woodpecker, a cute group of four Collared Falconet, huddled up together on a single branch, a load more parakeets, a pair of Black-backed Forktail and a feeding flock containing Neglected Nuthatch, Swinhoe’s and 3 Rosy Minivets, making it 9 minivets for the tour! Despite much effort we jumped back into the vehicles without locating Himalayan Flameback so it was a bit of a relief when two flew past the vehicles further along, hanging around long enough for us to get the required views!
We still had two birds left to see the following day but, as luck would have it, we found them both before reaching Bagan in the afternoon. Having a walk around suitable looking habitat it didn’t take us long to find a pair of yamthini Long-billed Pipit, a good insurance-tick, and several roosting Indian Nightjars, including one in particular that froze for us despite being just metres from it, relying on its camouflage. Driving a little further on the next hoped-for bird was found perched at the roadside – a White-eyed Buzzard.

With another full day around Bagan at our disposal (and reminding ourselves how it was better getting the hard birds out the way early rather than sweating on them today!) we took a morning cruise along the Irrawaddy. Perhaps the highlight was the stunning, intense sunrise over the temples, with everyones cameras clicking intently. Waders were much in evidence, a big flock of Small Pratincole loafed at the rivers-edge, Temminck’s Stint, Little Ringed Plover, Spotted Redshank, Kentish Plover and a pair of River Lapwing were all noted. Both Eastern Marsh and Pied Harrier quartered the fields and we watched in awe as a Peregrine toyed with the Greater Cormorants, Indian Spot-bills and wintering Ruddy Shelducks, that were all present in small numbers. Eventually we jumped ship, being met by a pair of White-tailed Stonechat feeding on the sand, along with a few Sand Lark. Birding an area of grassland turned up a number of Red Avadavat, Oriental Skylark and White-tailed Stonechat. On our return we sat back and relaxed before enjoying a mass of Small Pratincole flying and yelping around us.
After spending a bit of time photographing the resident family of White-throated Babblers feeding around our rooms we headed back to the temples and scrub in the afternoon. It was much the same as our previous visit though a few extra included a big flock of Baya Weaver, scope views of a Barred Buttonquail attempting to hide under a bush, and a flock of 13 Black-headed Bunting, perhaps just the second record in Myanmar! The resident pair of Lagger Falcon returned to their favoured temple to roost – a fitting time to call it quits.
After returning to Yangon on our final day we spent an hour enjoying the fabulous golden Shwedagon Temple, and a fly-over Booted Eagle, before bidding farewell to this fabulous country.
