a common look bird that easily missed , but it is rare and difficult to photograph due to mostly canopy and shy .

I always want to get eye level of this bird to look it close, and lucky day for me and my friend, we were been block by falling tree, raining season etc but it still giving us fruitful half day .

this bird we shoot ~1000m asl and we were surprised

– looking file for sale and clearing some old picture… still remember this one of best moment this bird doing it’s displaying making weird call just ~5-10 feet from us … it is ~6-10 feet from ground too !!! such a best moment

– 在找几个档案时，看到这组照片。就处理多一张，这一幕应该是永远记得。这么一只稀有的鸟竟然在我们5-10尺距离（6-10尺高）一直叫的很奇怪+一直像跳舞般张开翅膀

– while the tour ended, everyone talking about bird of the tour. Garnet Pitta, Giant Pitta, Bornean Ground-Cuckoo, Blue-headed Pitta, Whiteheads’ Broadbill. But think only me choose this, it is a rare occasion or minimum for me to see it ~10 feet away and ~10 feet from ground and stay for long for us.

– 当我们的行程要结束时。每个人都会选他们的最喜欢的鸟。每个人都很难选，榴红八色鸫，大蓝八色鸫，黑喉绿阔嘴鸟, 婆罗洲地鹃，等。可是我还是喜欢这鸟。我几乎没见过它这么近这么低。

– another hot day, while we walking in the forest. I heard some weird call (never heard before) and very soon a brown bird perch nearby and very soon David say “Honeyguide” ! the bird flip the wing non stop and may be making some call but not able to record it… may be it is the “guiding” action ?

– 非常热的一天。当我们在林子里走，突然听到很怪的叫声。不久后，有只棕色的鸟飞过来。DAVID站在那树下，叫了。”Honeyguide”。 这鸟很奇怪，一只展开翅膀。可能想带我们去找蜜？

– a boring days, weeks, months and may be years .. the bird look boring too.

– 很闷的一段时间。就如这鸟一样闷。
