The always magnificent Bornean Peacock-Pheasant. Endemic to Borneo, it is the least known and rarest of the world’s peacock-pheasants.

With the recent setting up of a bird hide in Sabah to see this beautiful species, the chance of seeing this beauty is somewhat ‘easy’. But, patience is still key as it is still a very secretive and sensitive species especially to noise and movements.

Lucky day yesterday as it came out just as we are about to pack our bags!

Thank you Elfean Jahanin for the effort. Kindly contact him if you wish to see this bird.
