Crested Fireback in Malaysia by Rainer Summers

It wasn’t too long ago that we posted a photo of the rather dazzling Siamese Fireback. Another equally attractive fowl is the splendid Crested Fireback; just one more good reason for you to consider a visit to Malaysia and Borneo. Sadly, these firebacks, with their distinctive blue mantles and funky black crests, are listed as Near Threatened due to habitat loss, largely as a result of the logging industry. This striking individual was photographed by Rainer Summers in Malaysia. If you haven’t already checked out the details of our next departure, visit goo.gl/dTv7hJ
