Abstract
This report presents the results of synchronized counts of Sarus Crane Grus antigone in Cambodia and Vietnam during the non-breeding season in 2010. Four censuses were conducted from January-April. The late March count forms the longest running part of the census, with additional counts in January and February introduced in 2008 and the additional count in late April conducted for the first time in 2010. The highest count for 2010 was recorded in January with a total of 864 cranes counted across sites. This is the 2nd highest total count since records began in 2001. The March count, by contrast, was the third lowest for that month since records began. Peak counts for previous years have fluctuated between 700-900 birds, but there is no evidence of a clear trend since 2001.
