KRATIE
Kratie is considered one of the must-see places in north-eastern Cambodia. There are two birding hotspots around Kratie town. One site is in the small marshes, where we would expect to see large numbers of weavers including Asian Golden and Streaked Weaver, as well as other wetland birds. The other site is at Kampi. Here (on day 2 of our journey) we will travel by boat along the Mekong River, searching for the Mekong Wagtail (Motacilla Samveasnae) which is restricted to channel island habitats. Along the way, we should see some more Irrawaddy Dolphins.
Kratie Birds & Tour
The keys birds at Kratie are: Mekong Wagtail, Small Pratincole, Asian Golden Weaver, Grey-throated Sand-martin, Rudy-breasted Crake, White-browed Crake, Plain-backed Sparrow, Yellow-breasted Bunting, and the endangered Irrawaddy Dolphin.
We often arrive in Kratie town, late afternoon, after a journey from the northern plains. After visiting Kratie, we often can travel on to a number of other destinations including: Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary (in the Eastern Plains), Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. We normally stay in a simple hotel in Kratie town, near the Mekong river. Following is the sample itinerary for Kratie:
