Birdwatchers observe previously unknown species of bird in Cambodia . The Cambodian bird was photographed near a construction site in Phnom Penh . The rare find indicates there may be more species yet to be discovered in the region . The Cambodian Tailorbird ( Orthotomus chaktomuk ) is one of only two bird species found exclusively in Cambodia ( the other is the Cambodian Laughingthrush ) and its discovery has the world 's `` twitchers '' -- as birdwatchers are known -- twitching with excitement . Until now , many years of human conflict had made much of Cambodia off - limits to bird watchers .
