Not yet spotted on Fladder

The Siamese Fireback is a beautiful and culturally significant pheasant native to the forests of mainland Southeast Asia. Males boast a dazzling combination of metallic blue, red, and grey plumage with a bare red face.

Where to spot

Evergreen and deciduous forests, often near the edge of cultivated areas, in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. They prefer dense undergrowth.

How to spot

Look for them on the forest floor or along forest edges. Their distinctive calls can help locate them. Remain quiet and patient, and use binoculars for better views of their intricate plumage patterns.

When to spot

Active year-round, primarily in the early morning and late afternoon when foraging. The breeding season (often tied to the dry season) can offer more vocal and display activity.
