CAMBODIA NOT SO WILD

 There were very few wildlife highlights on this trip to Cambodia we travelled from West to East and North to South by road and saw very few birds on the way,normally you see lots on the wires and in the fields but just the odd Drongo,Egret and occasional Bee Eater.Raptors were almost non existent I saw two Hawks briefly and Cathy spotted a Kite.In the end I almost gave up looking.We had a boat trip on the Meekong and saw the IRRAWADDY DOLPHINS which was good but apart from House Sparrows and Common Mynahs there was not a lot to see.
