update 202411

– This active, tiny bird features a dark-streaked crown, a small black mask, and a vibrant golden-yellow body.

– After a successful first day, with nearly all our targets achieved, we ventured farther from the birding photography hide in search of more species. About 2 kilometers into the hike, as we decided to turn back, three of these birds appeared, feeding right in front of us and providing a perfect photo opportunity.

– 这只活跃的小鸟头顶有深色条纹，脸上有小小的黑色面纹，身体呈鲜艳的金黄色。

– 在成功的第一天之后，我们几乎完成了所有目标，于是我们继续离开观鸟摄影点，寻找更多的鸟类物种。徒步约2公里后，当我们决定返回时，这三只鸟出现在我们面前，正在觅食，为我们提供了绝佳的拍摄机会。
