– as other Peacock-Pheasant, it is shy and not easy to have a good view in the wild. This pair of Sumatra endemic, will show up at one of the feeding station but this male will chase any bird that come close make us only saw the main target Schneider’s Pitta (2 times before light, 1 time night)
– 雨其他孔雀稚一样， 漂亮，害羞。都不容易看到。在施氏八色鸫“喂食”点，有一双回来。很漂亮可是可惜他们在，都会赶其他鸟。所以我们一个早上都没看到其他鸟来。（他们出现后）

– finish my Taiwan trip last 10days ago and now finish Sumatra, 2023 going to end… a busy year and another busy year coming… what’s everyone plan ?
– I had the same Pheasant 16years +- ago but I remember it was either 30/40d 100400 and misty, dark … so I don’t even remember I had keep the photo or not. But finally this time I got opportunity to see it for longer time, better weather … hope see it again future
– 台湾回来后， 再来了苏门答腊。也结束了。2023很忙，蛮忙的2024 也要到来了。大家都有什么打算？
– 我在16+-年前就拍过这鸟，可是当时相机（30/40D）加上雾+暗。照片有没有留下也是一个问号。今年终于再见到他，拍下不错照片。希望还有机会看这么漂亮的鸟

– a target bird, we found one while ours night birding after we got ours Rajah Scops-Owl. Happy to found one, before we heading to “feeding spot”. But we only have 2 chance which happen before enough light for better quality of picture.
– Any how it is 20th Pitta for guest…
– Am using new CANON RF200800 which is small aperture lens. But with a travel tripod assist, I managed to have most the picture hit on at ~1/10-1/30
– 主要目标之一，我们在找猫头鹰时找到一只睡觉的。之后我们也到“喂食点”看这鸟与其他的。这鸟只是在一早没光前出来。
– 主要还是用佳能最新 RF200800, 光圈很小（为了轻便），可是有小脚架的帮忙。我主要还是拍到1/10-1/30照片。

– arrived the famous Tapan road, stop the first location as saw the whistling-thrush on the road and not long heard a not so familiar call and soon Dwi say it is a babbler and make some small effort to have it in view and not so open photo due to very lowlight. In the noon time very soon we have another chance to photograph it ..
– 到达鸟点（其实不是什么鸟点，就是条64公里的森林边的路）我们第一停下来，因为看到苏门答腊啸鸫。附近就听到我不很熟悉的声音，很快的Dwi 讲是鹛。也不容易的看到，当然也不好拍。。动作快+暗。在中午回程中，还好给个机会在听到。这次就好好拿下。

– the only species that I saw 2 day in the row at DaXueShan, lovely and moving fast as other Yuhina.
– the RF200800 does not failed me to fast lock focus and track the bird even I missed quite a lot due to low light (low shutter speed while moving the lens direction fast) but as long as the bird stand still for a second or more most of the continuous series I had more than 70% keeper.
– 算是大雪山普鸟。2天在这都看到蛮多次，与其他凤鹛一样。动人姿势，动作快。
– 佳能 RF200800 与其他RF镜头一样，只要你捉到窍门。动作快，慢都很容易对焦上+追焦。这鸟之遥站上1秒左右，我的连环排（15fps).都有70-80%照片是对焦到眼部的。
