– a casual relax short break with only camera and myself .. managed to have few good birds and enjoy my cold drink with beautiful beach view. Lucky to have few birds included this use to be shy bird and came out feeding without worry about me.
– 很久没休息了，终于有机会半工作+休闲。到了一个小岛，走走看看鸟。然后，到海边欣赏漂亮海边+冷饮。加这只平时蛮害羞的鸟，可能没人理他。一对自己出来看看我。
51. Philippine Megapode, 菲律宾塚雉, 菲律賓塚雉, Megapodius cumingii, パラワンツカツクリ, Gosong Pilipina
– a very active and shy bird
– reddish eye-ring
– first saw at Sabah, also same very active and shy
非常活躍與害羞的鳥。與在沙巴見得都一樣。

It’s strange how this species, once commonly heard and briefly seen in Tangkoko, has become harder to encounter in recent visits. But this time, luck was on our side—it was feeding just beside the trail and gave us a rare opportunity for some decent photos.
这只鸟以前在Tangkoko是很常听见、偶尔快速一瞥的物种，但最近几次来却几乎没听到它们的声音。幸运的是，这次它就在步道边觅食，让我们难得有机会拍到几张不错的照片。

– a special almost represent Sulawesi as almost any where you can see symbol
A massive black-and-white megapode with a rose-pink breast and a diagnostic prominent knob on the nape. Found in lowland and hill forest, in areas near beaches or areas with volcanic sands in which they lay their eggs. Immatures show a blacker head with a white throat and a tufted crest. Occurs in pairs that forage on the ground and roost in trees by night. Often best seen at known egg-laying sites, either during laying sessions, or roosting in trees nearby. Generally silent, but occasionally gives a loud, bubbling “waow.” [Ebird]

– another main target for a short Photography tour, not really a difficult bird to be seen but it stay far from the hide and very alert with sounds. But there are few individual come to the ranger area which gave some close pictures.
– 这次摄鸟行的其中目标之一。虽然不很难，可是在的鸟的“小屋”里鸟在蛮远还很怕人。因为是喂食的，有什么声音活动就会跑掉。可是在门口处竟然有4只很乖在哪活动可是还是不可以太大动作。

A very common bird in Lombok, but not always easy to photograph. This time, we were lucky—three individuals appeared to be sharing nesting territory, allowing us to capture some great close-range photos and videos.
这是龙目岛非常常见的鸟种，但平时却不容易拍到。这次我们运气不错，有三只似乎在共用一个繁殖区域，让我们有机会在近距离拍到一些不错的照片和视频。
