Fairy Pitta
Pitta nympha
- mistis
- 85 km/h

A migrating jewel that summers in East Asian forests and slips south for winter, glimpsed only as a flash of nine colors hopping through the leaf litter. Birders cross seas for one clean look.
- Populasi
- Suspected only a few thousand to a few tens of thousands of mature individuals (roughly 100-10,000 breeding pairs); suspected rapid decline of 30-49% over three generations, driven mainly by wintering-ground forest loss on Borneo

- Dense, moist subtropical/tropical broadleaf evergreen and deciduous lowland forest, often near coasts; also camellia forest; mostly below 500 m, occasionally to 1,200-1,300 m elevation
- Fakta menarik
