The Reeves's Pheasant is an astonishingly long-tailed pheasant native to China, celebrated for the male's vibrant golden-brown plumage and a tail that can reach extraordinary lengths.
Where to spot
Indigenous to montane forests and woodlands with dense undergrowth in central and eastern China. Also established in introduced populations in parts of Europe and North America.
How to spot
In the wild, look for them foraging on the forest floor, often near clearings or paths. The male's immense tail makes it highly distinctive. Listen for their loud, ringing calls. Observe from a distance to avoid disturbing them.
When to spot
