update 202605

Time has flown by, and it has already been a month since I returned from Costa Rica. I am currently on my third birding tour without any rest. April has been a whirlwind, taking me from Costa Rica to Borneo, back to Peninsular Malaysia, and now back to Borneo again. The absolute highlight of April 2026 was encountering this bird just 2-3 meters away at eye level. Watching it sing for a full minute and perform its display was truly the best moment of the month.
时间飞逝,从哥斯达黎加回来已经一个月了,现在正马不停蹄地进行第三场观鸟之旅。整个四月,我的足迹从哥斯达黎加到婆罗洲,再回到马来西亚半岛,现在又回到了婆罗洲。2026年四月最美好的时刻,莫过于在两三米开外的平视距离偶遇这只鸟。看着它持续鸣唱了一分钟并进行展示,这绝对是本月最难忘的瞬间。

This is a bird that sits at the top of everyone’s bucket list, but upon our arrival in Costa Rica, the local guides informed us they weren’t active. We had nearly given up hope and put this strange-looking species out of our minds. However, as we neared the site, we received an update that they were active again. We decided to take a chance. To our absolute surprise, after only a short walk, we found them. The view improved from twenty meters overhead to an incredible eye-level encounter just two meters away. It was the amazing feeling of a lost opportunity turned into a found treasure.

这是每个人都想看到的鸟,但当我们抵达哥斯达黎加时,当地导游告诉我们它们并不活跃。大家几乎都放弃了,也快忘了这只长相奇特的鸟。但当我们靠近该地点时,当地导游收到更新说它们开始活动了。我们决定试一试。令人惊喜的是,我们只走了很短的一段路就见到了它,甚至最终从头顶上方20米处移动到了2米开外的平视距离。这种失而复得的感觉真好。
