We spent the early morning at a small area of trashed riverine forest that sometimes holds Pale-capped Pigeon albeit we failed to see any. Despite seeing some nice species including thermalling Woolly-necked Storks, Stork-billed Kingfisher and Van Hasselt's Sunbirds the highlight was watching a displaying male Oriental Honey-Buzzard. We then moved to a small nearby traepang where a White-shouldered Ibis was seen and we were shown an active nest of Brown Fish-Owls. We returned to the lodge, packed, said our farewells to the Danes and made our journey back to Siem Reap in preparation for our international flights back to Shetland via Kuala Lumpur that all ran on time.
