1. Dollarbird, 三宝鸟, 三寶鳥, Eurystomus orientalis, Eurystomus orientalis, TIUNG-BATU BIASA

– not rare, medium size blue-greenish bird

update 202512

It was just a casual birding outing with friends, but this bird stayed low and actively flew around, giving everyone a chance to practice bird-in-flight shots. A common species, yet its colors are always a treat to see in flight.

这是一趟与朋友们轻松的观鸟小行程,这只鸟飞得很低,还不停地在我们周围飞来飞去,让大家都开始尝试拍飞行照。虽然是常见鸟种,但它那绚丽的羽色在飞行中依然令人惊艳。

101. Purple-winged Roller, 藍翅佛法僧, 紫翅佛法僧, Coracias temminckii, セレベスブッポウソウ, Tiong-lampu sulawesi

– a very beautiful bird, just like Malaysia Indochinese Roller but this with less vibrant colors and a “purple” wing-tail. Sulawesi endemic.

– 非常漂亮的佛法僧,非常害羞。蘇拉威西特有種。

This species is always one of my main photography targets whenever I’m at Tangkoko. It’s a darker-colored roller, typically found near the forest edge, with striking overall purple plumage.

这种鸟类一直是我每次到北苏拉威西时的主要拍摄目标之一。它是一种整体颜色较深的三宝鸟,通常出现在森林边缘,拥有引人注目的紫色羽毛。

51. Indian Roller, 印度佛法僧, 棕胸佛法僧, Coracias benghalensis, インドブッポウソウ

A brightly colored bird with various shades of blue on the wings, tails, and belly that are often more prominent in flight. Note the longitudinal white streaks on the throat and breast. Indochinese Roller has a purple-blue breast, a darker olive back, and is generally darker blue. Generally silent, but more vocal in breeding season with harsh calls. Prefers open areas, including agricultural landscapes, sitting on exposed perches including electric wires, occasionally pumping its tail slowly. Practically a resident roller with some movements in the western parts of its range. 【Ebird]

– wonderful moment to get close and stay long for us, it is so colorful

– 非常漂亮的鸟,与马来西亚的种不一样。这只很乖站了很久也蛮近的

In South Africa’s western region, this season is perfect for birdwatching as many common species are abundant. It’s been an enjoyable time spotting various targets, with the bonus of encountering a few truly stunning birds along the way.

在南非的西部地區,這個季節是觀鳥的最佳時期,許多常見的鳥類都很活躍。我們在尋找各種目標的同時,也有幸看到了一些非常美麗的鳥類,讓人感到非常愉快。

update 202501

Another stunning bird that caught our attention—some had lost their long tails. But this one stayed close for quite a while, giving almost everyone the chance to capture a great shot.

另一种吸引我们的美丽鸟类,其中一些失去了长尾羽。但这只鸟停留得很近,而且持续了相当长的时间,让几乎每个人都能拍到好照片。

update 202602

Such a beautiful bird! Unfortunately, we only managed a single sighting during a rushed midday drive. The intense heat waves badly affected the photo quality, but we had no choice and still tried our best to capture the beauty of this bird.

这么美丽的一只鸟,可惜只在中午赶路时匆匆看到一次。强烈的热浪严重影响了照片质量,但我们别无选择,还是尽力记录下这只鸟的美丽。
