update 202510

It was another quiet morning, as expected—I had already told the group the forest might be slow this time. Still, we decided to revisit the same spot for the second time this month. Luckily, this bird family showed up and gave us some nice photo opportunities as they moved around.

又是一个安静的早晨,正如我之前告诉大家的,这段时间森林整体会比较冷清。尽管如此,我们还是这个月第二次走进这片林子。幸运的是,这一家鸟出现了,在我们面前来回活动,让我们拍到了一些不错的照片。

The jungle was quiet when we first heard this bird calling from a distance. Surprisingly, it approached us silently and swiftly—but we still managed to spot it and get a few good photo opportunities.

当我们第一次在寂静的丛林中听到这只鸟从远处叫时,没想到它悄无声息、迅速地靠近了我们。幸运的是,我们还是成功发现了它,并抓住了一些不错的拍摄机会。
