Green Peafowl spotted in Oddar Meanchey Province, Northwest Cambodia

It has been a long time since I have made a post - there will be more to come!

On April 12, 2015, a male Green Peafowl was photographed at the Monk's Forest in Oddar Meanchey Province in Northwest Cambodia.

Situated by the Dangrek Mountains bordering Northern Cambodia with the Khorat Plateau of Thailand, the Monks Community Forest has been protected under the admirable efforts of Venerable Bun Saluth. See this link for more information.

On the Thai section of the Dangrek mountains, the situation is a bit more complicated. Several Thai pheasant breeders claim to have birds from this region, but it is difficult to substantiate whether these birds were collected in this region or from elsewhere.
