Camera trap images are often of large charismatic mammals, but during the last 14 months of camera trapping surveys we have come to realise the value of this equipment for collecting information on birds too, specifically the galliformes or ‘gamebirds’. So far we have recorded the globally-threatened Crestless Fireback Lophura erythropthalma, the near threatened Great Argus Argusianus argus and Crested Partridge Rollulus rouloul, and Red Jungle Fowl Gallus gallus, the wild ancestor of the domestic chicken. Interestingly we have yet to record the near-threatened Crested Fireback L. ignita, which is less rare than its crestless cousin.
