Sometimes, you find forgotten treasures when you look through your photo archive, and this is one that I would like to share: the Bornean Green Magpie. The pictures were taken in 2016 in Kinabalu Park, Borneo, and are not that great, but the bird is so beautiful and well worth showing anyway.
The Bornean Green-Magpie is endemic to the central mountains of Borneo, where it can be found in montane forests up to the treeline. Of the Cissa green-magpies, only the Bornean green-magpie has white eyes. I will surely return with more photos from my archives shortly.
Kinabalu Park, the World Heritage Site
Kinabalu Park covers an area of 754 sq km and was gazetted as a park in 1964. The basis for the establishment of a protected area in Kinabalu was formed after a report from the Royal Society Kinabalu Scientific expedition in 1962-1964 led by Prof. Corner. It is the first park in the Malaysian Borneo state of Sabah.
