We decided to walk along the boardwalk instead of taking a boat ride. While strolling, this bird came surprisingly close to us. I quickly opened my bag, grabbed the Canon RF100–500, and managed to capture this cute little bird.
我们决定不坐船，改走木栈道。一路走着，这只鸟竟然离我们非常近。我立刻打开包，拿出 Canon RF100–500，成功拍下了这只可爱的鸟。

The Verditer Flycatcher (Eumyias thalassinus) is an Old World flycatcher found in the Indian subcontinent, especially in the Lower Himalaya. It is named after its distinctive shade of copper-sulphate blue and has a dark patch between the eyes and above the bill base. The adult males are intense blue on all areas of the body, except for the black eye-patch and grey vent. Adult females and sub-adults are lighter blue. They are also interesting among the flycatchers in that they forage above the canopy level and perching on electric wires or exposed tree top branches.
This species was earlier placed in the genus Muscicapa and it has been suggested that it is closer to the Niltava flycatchers.

51. Small Niltava, 小仙鹟, 小仙鶲, Niltava macgrigoriae, チビアオヒタキ
Size distinguishes this species from other niltavas; coloration is quite similar to Large Niltava, which is double the size. Male Small Niltava is bright blue with the brightest patches on the shoulder and forehead. Female is brown with a white eyering and a rufous tail and wingtips. Forages in the lower and middle levels of hilly and montane forests, usually singly. Listen for its distinctive song, a cleanly descending “wee-dee-dee.” [EBird]
体型将该物种与其他仙鹟区分开来；其颜色与大型仙鹟非常相似，但体型只有后者的一半。雄性小仙鹟呈亮蓝色，肩部和前额的亮色斑块最为显眼。雌性则为棕色，具有白色眼圈以及棕红色的尾巴和翼尖。通常单独在丘陵和山地森林的中下层觅食。其独特的鸣声是清晰下滑的“wee-dee-dee”。

Another bird we encountered, found only at a single hide despite visiting many others, initially appeared quite shy. However, after a few hours of brief appearances, it gradually became more comfortable and eventually stayed long enough for some great photos.
另一只我们在众多拍摄点中仅在一个鸟点发现的鸟，起初显得相当害羞。然而，经过几个小时的短暂现身后，它逐渐变得放松，最终停留足够长的时间让我们拍下了好照片。

This was a truly special tour for us, focusing on a very important target species. After two days of only hearing it without any sighting, we finally had an amazing view—right in front of the four of us, and even calling!
Such a memorable family trip—got all three special bird families: Rail-Babbler, Crested Jayshrike, and Bornean Bristlehead, all with photos too!
这是我们非常重要的一次特别行程，目标是非常特别的一种鸟。前两天只能听到声音，完全看不到，终于让我们在四人面前看到它，还在我们面前鸣叫！
一次难忘的家庭旅程，我们成功看到三种特别鸟类：棘头鵙、冠鸦和白眉长颈鸫，而且都有拍到照片！

Just another moment captured with this beautiful yet shy bird. I’m accustomed to situations where people alter the environment—making it brighter and more open—just for the sake of photos, which can affect the bird’s natural behavior. However, that doesn’t diminish my happiness, especially with my birding buddy back in action after finally deciding to get his 400mm F2.8 following a slowdown in birding. Exciting times ahead, as I have more personal birding trips coming up soon!
又一次捕捉到这只美丽而害羞的鸟儿。
我已经习惯了有人为了拍照而改变环境——让它更明亮、更开阔——从而影响鸟类的自然行为。
但这并不会影响我的快乐，尤其是我的观鸟伙伴终于决定入手 400mm F2.8 镜头，在观鸟节奏放缓后再次回归。
接下来，我也有更多个人观鸟之旅要开启，令人期待！

The Buffy Fish Owl (Bubo ketupu), also known as the Malay Fish Owl, is a species of owl in the Strigidae family. It was previously placed in Ketupa with the other fish owls, but that group is tentatively included with the eagle-owls in Bubo, until the affiliations of the fish owls and fishing owls can be resolved more precisely.
