Spotted
The Bornean Ground-Cuckoo is a large and elusive species endemic to the island of Borneo. It inhabits dense, primary rainforests and is one of the most difficult birds to spot in its range due to its shy nature.
Where to spot
Found in lowland and hill primary rainforests throughout the island of Borneo, which includes parts of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei.
How to spot
The Bornean Ground-Cuckoo is highly challenging to observe. Focus on listening for its distinctive calls, which can be a series of deep, resonant hoots that betray its presence. Look for any movement on the forest floor in pristine, undisturbed areas, remaining very quiet and patient.
When to spot
Year-round resident. It is most active during the day, particularly in the early morning and late afternoon when foraging, though direct observation remains rare.
