Large flock of critically endangered birds arrive in Cambodia in yearly migration

The yellow-breasted bunting's population in the world is believed to have declined by more than 80 per cent in recent years.

PHNOM PENH (Xinhua): A large flock of critically endangered migratory birds, the yellow-breasted bunting, have arrived at the Boeung Prek Lapouv Protected Landscape in southern Cambodia's Takeo province during their yearly migration, a conservationist organisation said on Wednesday (Jan 12).

The yellow-breasted bunting was considered a critically endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 2004 due to a rapid drop in population size.
