Wildlife officials in Kathun Wildlife Sanctuary in Nakhon Si Thammarat have recently captured images of the rare great argus bird using camera traps.

 

Teerawut Noonsung, chief of the wildlife sanctuary, estimates that there are about 20 great argus birds left in the sanctuary adding, however, that a survey will be conducted to determine the exact population.

 

He said that the presence of the vulnerable bird is a proof of the pristine and unspoiled condition of the sanctuary.
