Hiding close to a small muddy Cambodian pond hoping that a Giant Ibis may come to drink ( #BirdsSeenIn2024 ): one of the rarest birds in Asia with a population of just 100 pairs. Never imagined one would land so close: a full frame unedited image [BirdingInChina.com].
Of the four Fish Owls inhabiting our planet the Brown Fish Owl ( #BirdsSeenIn2024 ) is the most common but nonetheless coming close to these impressive birds remains something to behold with their golden irises, streaked fulvous underparts and pale breast [BirdingInChina.com]

This image of a Common Woodshrike ( #BirdsSeenIn2024 ) was taken in the dry forests of northern Cambodia showing well its brown upperparts, white below, dark facial mask, pale supercilium and hooked bill [BirdingInChina.com].
With a global population of less than 500 mature birds, the White-shouldered Ibis ( #BirdsSeenIn2024 ) is one of the most threatened large waterbirds in Asia. Thankfully this bird looked well and was one of three birds feeding in this Cambodian field [BirdingInChina.com].
