Spotted
A strikingly beautiful pheasant endemic to Borneo, known for its iridescent ocelli (eyespots) on its tail feathers. It is a shy and elusive forest dweller, making it a prized sighting for birdwatchers.
Where to spot
Lowland rainforests and secondary forests on the island of Borneo, particularly in the interior and mountainous regions.
How to spot
Observing this rare and shy bird requires immense patience. Look for them foraging quietly on the forest floor, and listen carefully for their distinctive calls, which can help pinpoint their location in dense undergrowth.
When to spot
Dawn and dusk are often the best times when they forage; observations are possible year-round.
The male Bornean Peacock-Pheasant's elaborate tail feathers are used in a spectacular courtship display, fanning out to showcase the metallic green-blue eyespots to attract a mate.
