This report is an annual update of the seasonal status and distribution of large waterbirds in and around the Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserve (TSBR). Preceding reports are a full historical review up to July 2008 and the annual update for the period July 2008 – June 2009. This review examines records collected from July 2009 to June 2010 through regular monitoring work in and around several key sites, in particular Prek Toal, Boeung Tonle Chhmar and Stung Sen Core Areas within the inner flooded forest zone, and Veal Srongai and the Bengal Florican Conservation Areas (BFCAs) located in floodplain grasslands bordering on the flooded forest zone. The review covers Lesser Adjutant (Leptoptilos javanicus), Greater Adjutant (Leptoptilos dubius), Painted Stork (Mycteria leucocephala), Milky Stork (Mycteria cinerea), Asian Openbill (Anastomus oscitans), Black-headed Ibis (Threskiornis melanocephalus), Spot-billed Pelican (Pelecanus philippensis), Oriental Darter (Anhinga melanogaster), Black-necked Stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus), Woolly-necked Stork (Ciconia episcopus) and White-shouldered Ibis (Pseudibis davisoni).
