Abstract
Bulwer’s pheasant (Lophura bulweri) is a Bornean endemic species, first described by Richard Bowdler Sharpe in 1874. It is currently ranked as ‘Vulnerable’ by the IUCN due to ongoing habitat destruction and its naturally small populations (BirdLife International 2022). Knowledge on this species’ ecology and distribution is rather scarce but, on account of the few sightings known to the scientific world, the pheasant seems to be a primary forest specialist of lowland to montane rainforest landscapes, ranging in altitudes from 150 m to at least 1500 m (BirdLife International 2022). Apart from its inherent rarity, the lack of knowledge of this species is probably due to its largely nomadic habits, which prohibits ornithologists to study ‘resident’ individuals in detail.
