This bird is incredibly beautiful, and while we may have seen it before in a zoo or bird park, spotting it in the wild and capturing its photo brings an entirely different level of excitement. Though it’s considered a common species, we only managed to see it 3-4 times during our 18 days of birding in South Africa.

这是一种非常美丽的鸟，尽管我们可能在动物园或鸟园里见过，但在野外看到并拍下它的照片，带来的兴奋感完全不同。虽然它被认为是常见的物种，但在我们南非18天的观鸟过程中，也只见到了3-4次。
