This report reviews new information on the seasonal status and distribution of large waterbirds in and around the Tonle Sap Biosphere Reserve (TSBR). It updates a detailed review published in 2008 by examining records collected from July 2008 to June 2009 through regular monitoring work in and around several key sites, in particular Boeung Tonle Chhmar and Stung Sen Core Areas, and the Integrated Farming and Biodiversity Areas (IFBAs) located in the outer grasslands of the floodplain. The report 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).
