Prek Toal is the name of both a floating village and a bird sanctuary and makes for a worthwhile excursion from Siem Reap or Battambang. Prek Toal has been called the single most important breeding ground in Southeast Asia for large waterfowl and it covers 31,282 hectares at the northwest tip of the Tonle Sap Lake.

Species include greater and lesser adjuncts, spot-billed pelican, black-headed ibis, grey-headed fish eagle, painted stork and milky stork amongst many others. The best time of year for viewing is the dry season when flocks of migratory birds congregate; as the dry season continues and the water level recedes the number of birds increases however travel to some of the more important viewing areas becomes more difficult.
