Changkran Roy and Dry Forest Birding

BIRD OF THE DAY!! Collared Falconet - a beautiful little bird of the dry dipterocarp forest.

On the way back to Siem Reap from Changkran Roy we stopped at an area of dry dipterocarp forest for some later afternoon birding. The one hour planned turned to two!

We did a little birding around the greater campsite in the morning and saw a few nice species.
