1. Ornate Pitta, 丽色八色鸫, 麗色八色鸫, Pitta concinna, インドネシアノドグロヤイロチョウ

A typical pitta: plump, short-tailed, long-legged, and primarily terrestrial (sometimes perches up to call). Bright green above with electric blue shoulder patch and rump and black head with conspicuous pale brow. Underside golden-buff with black and bright red on the belly. Juvenile duller, with little blue in wing, an orange-tipped bill, and a pinkish belly. Resident in woodland, forest, scrub, and plantations in the lowlands and hills of the Lesser Sundas, from Lombok east to Alor. Formerly regarded as a subspecies of Elegant Pitta, to which it is very similar; Ornate averages more extensively black on the throat and lower belly, and has a fairly evenly divided rufous-and-white “eyebrow.” Also note Ornate’s whistled two-note call [Ebird]

典型的八色鸫：体型圆胖，尾巴短，腿长，主要在地面活动（有时会飞到高处鸣叫）。身体上部鲜绿色，肩部和尾部有亮蓝色斑块，头部黑色，带有醒目的浅色眉纹。下体为金黄褐色，腹部带有黑色和鲜红色。幼鸟的颜色较暗淡，翅膀上的蓝色较少，喙尖呈橙色，腹部略带粉红色。

分布于小巽他群岛的低地和丘陵地区，包括林地、森林、灌丛和种植园，从龙目岛向东延伸至阿洛尔岛。过去被认为是优雅八色鸫的一个亚种，与其非常相似；但装饰八色鸫喉部和腹部下方的黑色范围更广，且眉纹为较均匀分布的红褐色和白色。此外，装饰八色鸫的鸣叫声为清晰的两声式哨音。

After successfully getting all our target birds, we took it easy and birded along the main forest road. Suddenly, 3–4 of these Pittas started calling nearby, and one of them came as close as 10 feet from me!

 

This individual even stood out in the open for 2–3 minutes, giving us a fantastic natural encounter—not at a feeding station, but in the wild. A very different kind of excitement.

Hope everyone enjoyed this Lombok bird photography trip. And Imran—see you next time!

在顺利记录到所有目标鸟种后，我们便轻松地沿着森林主路边赏鸟。突然有三四只八色鸫在附近鸣叫，其中一只甚至走到离我不到3米的地方！

这只还在空地上停留了2–3分钟，给了我们一次非常自然、非喂食环境下的精彩邂逅，别有一番乐趣。

 

#####

Finally had the chance to revisit this spot again. As usual, the Pitta was quite tame but didn’t make it easy for everyone to get a good shot. Still, I was lucky enough to get a satisfying photo.

Despite the light drizzle, we managed to photograph two of our main targets during this one evening session.

Such a lovely Pitta!

终于再次重访这个地方。像往常一样，这只八色鸫虽然不怕人，但并没有很好地配合大多数人拍照。不过我这次运气不错，拍到了自己满意的一张。

尽管傍晚有些毛毛细雨，我们还是顺利拍到了这次摄影行程的两个主要目标鸟种。

可爱的八色鸫，太棒了！

A special arrangement was made with Ramesh for a relaxing birding trip focused on collecting a few endemic species. As usual, pittas, owls, and woodpeckers were our primary targets. Upon arriving at the airport, we had a ~1.5-hour drive followed by a short walk to the feeding spot. After less than 15 minutes of waiting, the bird showed up beautifully, allowing for this “pre-poo” moment to be captured perfectly.

与Ramesh进行了特别安排，来了一次轻松的观鸟之旅，主要目标是收集几种特有物种。和往常一样，八色鸫、猫头鹰和啄木鸟是我们的重点目标。抵达机场后，经过大约1.5小时的陆路旅行，再步行一小段路就到了投喂点。等待不到15分钟，这只鸟便美丽地现身，成功捕捉到了这个“大便”的精彩时刻。

 

2. Rinjani Scops-Owl, 林加尼山角鸮, 倫佳尼角鴞, Otus jolandae, リンジャニコノハズク

A small brown owl with feathered ear tufts and yellow eyes, restricted to Lombok. Mostly brown with scattered white and pale markings on wings, sparsely streaked underparts, and a clear “double” facial disk with both blackish and white borders. Found in various forests and plantations in the lowlands and foothills. Distinctive: the only small owl on Lombok, and the only owl there with ear tufts. Gives a single note song, “woot,” ascending slightly at the end [Ebird]

一种小型棕色猫头鹰，头部有羽毛形成的耳簇，眼睛为黄色，仅分布于龙目岛。主要为棕色，翅膀上散布着白色和浅色斑纹，下体有稀疏的条纹，面盘清晰，呈“双层”结构，边缘为黑色和白色相间。在低地和丘陵地区的各种森林和种植园中都能找到这种猫头鹰。特征鲜明：是龙目岛上唯一的小型猫头鹰，也是岛上唯一有耳簇的猫头鹰。其鸣叫声为单音“woot”，尾音略微上扬。

update 202512

This is one of our main targets for visiting Lombok Island. It didn’t take long to spot the bird, but we had to wait patiently for a better photo opportunity.

Although it’s a common owl on Lombok, getting a clean shot still required some effort—but it was worth it!

这是我们前往龙目岛的主要目标鸟种之一。虽然很快就观测到它，但我们花了不少时间等待更好的拍摄机会。

尽管这只猫头鹰在龙目岛相对常见，但想要拍到干净漂亮的照片依然不容易——不过一切都是值得的！

update 202412

This special, quick, and relaxed trip to Lombok, Indonesia, focused on our second main target. We spotted a few birds, but only one came reasonably close and perched low. It resembled other scops-owls, offering another great sighting enhanced by modern technology.

这次特别的短途轻松旅行前往印度尼西亚的龙目岛，重点目标是第二主要目标。我们发现了几种鸟类，但只有一只靠得比较近且停得较低。它看起来与其他领角鸮非常相似，通过现代技术提供了另一个精彩的观鸟体验。

3. White-tailed Tropicbird, 白尾鹲, 白尾熱帶鳥, Phaethon lepturus, シラオネッタイチョウ, Buntut-sate putih

A medium-sized white seabird with black marks on the wings and a yellow beak. The long white tail streamers are visible from a great distance. Nests on coastal and inland cliffs on the main islands. Often seen flying over canyons and along cliffs. At sea usually flies high above the water. Calls are loud clucks and squawks. Smaller and more graceful in flight than Red-tailed Tropicbird [Ebird]

中型白色海鸟，翅膀上有黑色斑纹，喙为黄色。长长的白色尾羽从远处即可见到。栖息于主要岛屿的沿海和内陆悬崖上。常见于峡谷上空和悬崖边飞翔。在海上通常飞得离水面较高。叫声为响亮的咯咯声和尖叫声。相比红尾鹱，这种鸟体型较小，飞行更为优雅。

I just can’t help but share more of this lovely bird… under the hot sun, it’s such a beautiful sight to watch them soaring through the sky.

我忍不住再分享更多这只这么美的鸟… 在炽热的阳光下，看到它们在天空中翱翔真是太美了。

 

#####

One of the target birds can be found here, making it an incredibly beautiful location to observe this species. The view is breathtaking, and I hope to return again. While waiting for a better sighting of the bird, I was fortunate to also spot a Dugong, Green Turtle, and Spinner Dolphins. Watching this bird gracefully soar through the air is truly mesmerizing.

其中一种目标鸟可以在这里看到，这里是观赏这种鸟类的绝佳地点，风景非常优美，希望能再来一次。等待更好观鸟机会时，还幸运地看到了儒艮、绿海龟和飞旋海豚。这种鸟在空中优雅飞翔的姿态，实在令人着迷。

4. Pale-headed Munia, 淡色文鸟, 淡頭文鳥, Lonchura pallida, セレベスヘキチョウ, Bondol Kepala-pucat

A small finch with a striking white head and dark body. Rich chestnut brown above, with reddish tail and pale peach-washed underside. Juveniles much duller and browner, but usually show a paler head. Gregarious, found in terrestrial flocks, often with other finches, in open country such as marshes, croplands, grasslands and scrub, in the lowlands. Juvenile has a paler head and a noticeably smaller bill than juvenile Five-colored Munia. Gives weak, high-pitched “weee” and stronger, metallic “wit-wit-wit” notes [Ebird]

一种体型较小的雀鸟，白色头部与深色身体形成鲜明对比。背部为浓郁的栗棕色，尾巴呈红色，下腹带有浅桃色的晕染。幼鸟颜色较暗偏棕，但通常头部较浅色。性情群居，常与其他雀鸟混群活动，生活在低地的开阔地带，如沼泽、农田、草地和灌木丛。幼鸟头部颜色较浅，喙比五色梅花雀的幼鸟明显更小。鸣声包括柔弱而高音的“weee”，以及更强、更金属感的“wit-wit-wit”音符。

update 202412

This munia is very common in the open areas of Lombok Island and can be spotted almost everywhere. It resembles the White-headed Munia but features a darker back and front.

这种文鸟在龙目岛的开阔地带非常常见，几乎随处可见。它与白头梅花雀相似，但背部和前部颜色较深。

 

5. Supertramp Fantail, 阿拉弗拉扇尾鹟, 阿拉弗拉扇尾鹟, Rhipidura semicollaris

update 202412

It is a fairly common species found in Bali, Sumba, and Lombok, but this beautiful fantail is truly captivating. We were searching for the Five-colored Munia, but this bird appeared just before we could get a good look at the munia.

这种扇尾鸟在巴厘岛、松巴岛和龙目岛都相当常见，但它依然非常迷人。我们本来在寻找五彩文鸟，但这只扇尾鸟在我们还没来得及好好观察文鸟时就出现了。

 

6. Golden-headed Cisticola, 金头扇尾莺, 黃頭扇尾鶯, Cisticola exilis, タイワンセッカ, Cici Merah

Tiny, sandy-colored bird with short tail and dark-streaked back. Breeding adult males have orange-gold crown. Song a thin, high-pitched, drawn-out buzzing. Inhabits grasslands of northern and eastern Australia, where perches prominently. In similar grassland habitats, Tawny Grassbird has much longer tail. Very similar Zitting Cisticola always has a streaked crown and a very different “tick-tick-tick” song but otherwise almost identical. [Ebird]

细小的沙色鸟，尾巴短，背部有深色条纹。繁殖期成年的雄鸟头顶呈橙金色。鸣声为细高音的延长嗡鸣。栖息于澳大利亚北部和东部的草原，常显眼地栖于枝头。在类似的草原栖息地，褐草鸟的尾巴明显更长。非常相似的褐顶苇莺头顶始终有条纹，鸣声“滴滴滴”的节奏截然不同，但外形几乎完全相同。

update 202412

A small bird with a distinctive sequence of calls, often perched high to observe human activity, seemingly curious about us when we arrive at a new location.

一只发出独特连续叫声的小鸟，常常高高地栖息着观察人类活动，当我们到达一个新地点时，似乎对我们充满好奇。

 

7. Five-colored Munia, 五彩文鸟, 巽他五彩文鳥, Lonchura quinticolor, ゴシキキンパラ, Bondol Pancawarna

update 202510

We had limited encounters with this species in Lombok—only managed to spot two individuals, and both kept their distance throughout.

我们在龙目岛并没有看到太多这种鸟类，只观察到两只，而且它们始终与我们保持一定距离。

 

8. White-rumped Kingfisher, 白腰翡翠, Caridonax fulgidus, コシジロショウビン, Cekakak Tunggir-putih

update 202512

This forest Kingfisher is probably one of the shyest I’ve ever encountered.

I tried photographing it during my last trip here but failed after several attempts. This time, we finally had a clear and prolonged view. Still, the bird remained very shy, making it challenging for everyone to get good shots.

A bit of a shame that some angles didn’t give a clear view, but still a rewarding sighting!

这是一只非常害羞的林翠鸟，可能是我记录过最害羞的翠鸟之一。

上一次来这里时我就尝试拍它，但几次都失败了。这次终于看到它清晰又停留较久的画面。不过它依然很警惕，不是每个人都能拍到好照片。

可惜有些角度看不清，但能再见到它，依然是一段值得的经历！

 

9. Cinnamon-banded Kingfisher, 冠翡翠, 桂紅紋翡翠, Todiramphus australasia, チモールショウビン, Cekakak Kalung-coklat

update 202512

It’s not a lifer for most of us, as we’ve already seen it on Sumba Island. But this time in Lombok, we were just taking it easy when the ranger mentioned the bird was nearby.

We thought, “Why not?”—and that led to the toughest hike of the trip!
Thankfully, it paid off with a wonderful view of this beautiful Kingfisher.

这对我们大多数人来说并不是新鸟，因为我们之前在松巴岛就已经见过了。

不过这次在龙目岛，我们原本很轻松地休息，结果护林员告诉我们这只鸟就在附近，我们就想：“为什么不试试看？”

于是就开始了这趟旅程中最辛苦的一次攀爬！所幸最后有了非常棒的视野，看到这只美丽的翠鸟，值得了。

 

10. Eastern Red-rumped Swallow, 金腰燕, 赤腰燕, Cecropis daurica, コシアカツバメ, LAYANG-LAYANG API BIASA, Burung Layang-Layang Api

update 202512

This is a common bird in Lombok, but it used to be quite a challenge to capture with DSLR back in the day. Now, with improved gear, it’s almost as easy as 1-2-3!

Distinct features: streaked throat and chest, plus a bright orange rump—such a striking little bird!

这是龙目岛的常见鸟种，但在早期用单反相机拍摄时其实并不容易。如今器材升级，拍起来就像 1-2-3 一样简单了！

明显特征：喉部和胸部有条纹，还有亮眼的橙色臀部——非常吸睛的一只小鸟！

 

11. Orange-footed Megapode, 橙脚塚雉, 橙腳塚雉, Megapodius reinwardt, オーストラリアツカツクリ, Gosong Kaki-merah

update 202512

A very common bird in Lombok, but not always easy to photograph. This time, we were lucky—three individuals appeared to be sharing nesting territory, allowing us to capture some great close-range photos and videos.

这是龙目岛非常常见的鸟种，但平时却不容易拍到。这次我们运气不错，有三只似乎在共用一个繁殖区域，让我们有机会在近距离拍到一些不错的照片和视频。

 

12. Wallacean Drongo, 华莱士卷尾, 華勒西亞卷尾, Dicrurus densus vicinus, ウォーレスオウチュウ, Srigunting Wallacea

update 202512

Was this the final bird of our Lombok Bird Photography Tour? Possibly — and what a challenge it was! Extremely shy and not easy to capture on camera.
Still, it remains one of Indonesia’s remarkable country endemics — a true highlight despite the effort!

这是我们龙目岛拍鸟之旅的最后一只鸟吗？也许是！拍摄它真的不容易，非常害羞！
尽管如此，它依然是印度尼西亚非常精彩的特有种之一，值得我们为它付出努力！

Mammals from Lombok, Indonesia

101. Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin, 印太瓶鼻海豚, 印太瓶鼻海豚, Tursiops aduncus

 

update 202412

It was a fortunate moment while waiting for our target bird—we spotted a Dugong, a group of Dolphins putting on a show, and a few Green Turtles. Although they were at a bit of a distance, it was a joy to witness their display.

在等待目标鸟的过程中，我们遇到了一个幸运的时刻——看到了儒艮、一群表演中的海豚，以及几只绿海龟。虽然它们离我们有些距离，但欣赏到它们的表演还是让人非常开心。
