The Bornean Black Magpie is a striking, long-tailed bird endemic to the island of Borneo. Similar to its Malaysian counterpart, it possesses glossy black plumage and a distinctive blue eye-ring. It prefers dense tropical forests and is often found in the canopy layer.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Borneo. It inhabits lowland and hill rainforests, often in the mid-canopy and sub-canopy, favoring mature forest.
How to spot
Look for it in the mid-to-upper canopy of primary and secondary rainforests. Identify it by its glossy black plumage, long tail, and bright blue eye-ring. Pay attention to its calls, as it can be secretive in dense foliage.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range, observable year-round. Most active in the early mornings and late afternoons.
