Spotted
The Koklass Pheasant is a strikingly beautiful, medium-sized pheasant native to mountainous regions of Asia. Males are particularly vibrant with intricate patterns and a distinctive crest.
Where to spot
Found in coniferous, deciduous, and mixed forests, as well as dense scrubland, typically at higher elevations across its Asian range.
How to spot
Look for them foraging quietly on the forest floor. Listen for the male's characteristic calls, which can help in locating these often elusive birds. Patience and quiet movement are essential in their dense habitats.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon, especially during the breeding season (spring to early summer) when males are more vocal.
