Robson 'Birds of Southeast Asia' will probably be the best.
Jeff Hopkins
Just another...observer
Agreed.
I'm just back from a trip there and agree that Robson's book is well worth having.
To get a better idea of distribution of birds within Cambodia I used checklists from the Sam Veasna website to get an idea of the birds likely to be found at the main sites I was visiting.
Recommend using SVC guide - very successful for all ibis/storks/florican/lots woodpeckers. Only disappointment was that the vultures did not descend to the carcass at our vulture restaurant...
At the end of the trip I found Frederic Goes' "The Birds of Cambodia: An Annotated Checklist" at Phnom Penh airport book shop - I didn't even know that this amazing book existed. Bought it and read through it on the way home - it would have been so helpful in advance - it is not a field guide and is a fairly hefty tome but summarises all known information on distribution, population and breeding season. I really wish that I had read it in advance and was amazed that I was unaware of its existence...
