About
Feeding hides in the Trus Madi Forest Reserve highlands, the only realistic place to photograph the wild Bulwer's pheasant. Two hides are reported, one reached via Tambunan and one via Keningau; sessions of about three hours often bring the pheasant within a few metres along with crested partridge and Bornean banded pitta.
