well Ive finally found a 'local'patch close to Phnom Penh
it involves a short ferry trip (15 mins = less than $1) then a 10 min moto ride and im next to the rivers edge and amongst flooded fields. Initial investigation gives Kingfisher spc, lark spc, yellow vented Bulbul, Racket tailed drongo spc, flycatchers, and a great assortment of butterflies.
I intend to cover this as often as poss- probably a couple of times a month at present, and i can get a 6 metre boat built for about $200. Something to consider for the near future.
Im just happy to be birding so close to home and look forward to more detailed investigation given time.
Happy days
