Great Argus
Argusianus argus
Description:
Spotted on a trail in Danum Valley. We watched him for 45 minutes, clearing an area on the forest floor to dance, checking leaves and discarding them, waiting for a female to watch.

Congratulations Paul, your awesome series of a very elusive bird has been chosen by our Ranger team as its Spotting of the Week!
A male great argus performs its elaborate courtship ritual in our Rangers’ choice Spotting of the Week. The great argus is one of the most unusual of all bird species, males have massive tail feathers that are used by Bornean cultures for ornamental head dresses.
