– 这应该是我看/拍最多的鸟之一。以前到现在，都是我们呢观鸟/摄鸟团主打鸟之一。在这个鸟点，鸟通常都会来找吃。

#####

– 最后一只目标鸟，这两只母鸟没让我们等很久。她们到后，来了一只公鸟。有些动作要吸引木鸟。可是不成功

####

update 202309

– special targets tour, this is one of most easier target overall but it still make us wait for more than 2 hours until it came and displaying while female get close – 这算是目标鸟最容易之一。可是也没很乖，也等了2+小时才出来。可是这次带着母的还表演了一次。“孔雀开屏“。。慢动作哦

update 202302

– not sure what’s happen, this special bird become very shy and worry. After 5th trips there finally 2 male seem quite brave to come out to give us good time.

– 不知道什么原因，这鸟变得很害羞+担心。去了5趟，都跑来跑去。这次2只雄鸟，出来让我们拍的美美的。

– big, shy bird

update 202409

– another revisit of the dancing ground, the bird still there calling the mate .. sad no one see interest on him … this time with the CANON RF200-800mm. Trying to walk slight close to have closer shot .. can see some ticks on the face .. and remember my buddy say it is ugly bird ! what a beauty

– 再次去到这“跳舞场“，这家伙还没背选中。还在每天叫。这次带了佳能RF200-800。试试近距离用800mm 拍下近距离。我的朋友讲这家伙不好看。。。。。很美啊

####

update 202408

– we have ours main targets ticked, so we look for any other target … we walk real slow in the morning until the first spot and the bird not there .. continue walking and reach 2nd location … we just walk into the trail for nothing to hope but when we got close it calling loud and when we reach the bird seem shy .. than we decided to walk further … and wait .. not that long they bird sudden appear and displaying for us !!!! wow wow

– a post make us think, why me and my best buddy (i think he think the same now) always got something unexpected. It is boring to know the result while you going for … buddy hope everything is fine for you … I really miss ours time, you make me strong, you make me ignore gossip …

– 我们主要目标都拍到后。就尽量找找其他主要目标，这鸟几乎都是每个人的想看鸟之一。我们慢慢的走，到了第一个步道没听到什么声音。我们继续到另一个步道，也没听到什么。可是我们还是走进去，大概要到他的跳舞点时。突然听到他叫。我们接近时他很怕，跑了！。我们只有走去远点的地方，等了没很久。大概5-10分钟后，他突然就出来跳起舞来（母的在后面）。高兴时了。

– 这令我想起我的最好朋友，我们的初衷就是看+拍野鸟。拍不到没事，要享受。我真的想你了，想我们一起出去吃“白果”的时候。你的每一句，都把我变得坚强。。。最重要的我记得，我们不需要其他人怎么看我们，讲我们。。。。

#####

– one of the best moment 2024, it is a relax birding day after we had all 3 main targets of the Families DONE. When we arrive the dancing ground, the bird seem shy and walk to a side .. and we decided to move further to monitor the bird and get some pictures. Nothing to expect, all of sudden it start displaying (dancing) … Immediate got the “one of the best moment of 2024” .. (still like a dream

– 可能是2024我最好的一刻。在我们的特别鸟种团都达标3种主要鸟，几乎没什么压力。就来个没压力的观鸟。在我们到达这鸟的“跳舞点”，他怕！！！跑到一边，我们决定站远点。再来怕些照片。可是他突然跳起舞来，这么久来了个2024最美好的一刻。

101. Sri Lanka Junglefowl, 蓝喉原鸡, 藍喉原雞, Gallus lafayettii，セイロンヤケイ

Wild chickenlike bird. Male is burnt orange with dark streaks, cockerel-like glossy black tail, and a prominent red comb marked with yellow on the crown. Gray-brown female has white streaks and prominent barring on its wings. Terrestrial, found in pairs or small groups in forests of lowlands and highlands over much of Sri Lanka. Generally keeps to cover. Only confusion is with domestic chicken; note lack of white at tail base, and yellow marking on comb of males, and bars in wings of females in Sri Lanka Junglefowl. Song a harsh “chyok-cher-chow”. Also stuttering “kik-kik-kik-kik” notes. [Ebird]

– very beautiful and noisy bird and common almost any where too

– 非常漂亮，吵，蛮普通的鸡

151. Swinhoe’s Pheasant, 蓝腹鹇, 藍腹鷴, Lophura swinhoii, サンケイ

Secretive, handsome endemic pheasant of Taiwan’s mountains. Male slaty blue from nape to flanks, with contrasting white upper back, brown mantle, and dark gray wings; female mostly rich brown with pale markings above. Both sexes have red facial skin, more extensive in male. Forages quietly in pairs in the forest understory, occasionally along forest edge on trails or roads. Both sexes give subtle clucking calls and a high-pitched squeaky alarm call. Male has white in tail and back, unlike Mikado Pheasant; female distinguished by richer plumage tones, broader tail, pale bill, reddish legs, and unmarked underparts. [Ebird]

– finish my Taiwan trip last 10days ago and now finish Sumatra, 2023 going to end… a busy year and another busy year coming… what’s everyone plan ?

– I had the same Pheasant 16years +- ago but I remember it was either 30/40d 100400 and misty, dark … so I don’t even remember I had keep the photo or not. But finally this time I got opportunity to see it for longer time, better weather … hope see it again future

– 台湾回来后，再来了苏门答腊。也结束了。2023很忙，蛮忙的2024 也要到来了。大家都有什么打算？

– 我在16+-年前就拍过这鸟，可是当时相机（30/40D）加上雾+暗。照片有没有留下也是一个问号。今年终于再见到他，拍下不错照片。希望还有机会看这么漂亮的鸟

#####

update 202312

– a casual trip to Taiwan, spend some of the time for birding and while going down from DaxueShan (大雪山）, stop by ~17 years ago spot and update by local birder the bird can be found there but not very promising due to no feeding allow policy apply. But I am just walk up and down birding at the famous 23.5k got some birds and meet up Kuan-Chieh Hung (Taiwan Bird guide) with guests. After some chit chat session, one of the guesst say .. come come come .. which not really at casual location. 1 male and 3 female relaxing for more than 5 minutes

– female see very beautiful with so much body pattern

– 这次到台湾不是主要为鸟。可是还是利用有的时间，机会看看，拍拍鸟。在大雪山回程时，停在17年前（朋友带过我们到这，他也让我知道。这鸟还在，就不是很活跃因为台湾不允许喂食。所以鸟也不常来了）

在这遇上fb 朋友（红冠），他可是台湾鸟导。与他在哪谈了一会，突然他的客人。叫我们“过来，过来。。“。过去看到这漂亮的特有种。1雄3雌在哪活动了好几分钟。

– 雌鸟很少很漂亮。这鸟很不一样，母鸟真的很美。

101. Indian Paradise-Flycatcher, 印缅寿带, 印度綬帶, Terpsiphone paradisi, カワリサンコウチョウ

– another “Paradise Flycatcher” split previously but it is quite obvious “crest”

A graceful looking flycatcher, the adult male sport a long ribbonlike tail. The males occur in two color morphs cinnamon and white. Both color morphs sport a glossy black head with blue ring around the eye, but white morph is entirely white below while the cinnamon morph has cinnamon upperparts and tail, and dirty white underparts. The females are cinnamon above with a grayish throat, a shorter tail, and they lack the male’s blue eyering. They make short aerial sallies after insects, usually returning to the same perch. Occasionally descends to ground to pull apart insects. Chiefly found in wooded habitats. Their call is a harsh “shreew.” [ebird]

update 202401

– a bird that we saw many locations but it is just like others Paradise-Flycatcher, active and shy .. moving fast and almost no stop more than 1 second

– 在斯里兰卡蛮普通在很多地方，环境都看到2这鸟。可是还是一个样子，害羞+动作快。几乎不停多过1秒

6. White-fronted Scops-Owl,白额角鸮, 白額角鴞, Otus sagittatus, ハナジロコノハズク, JAMPUK KENING PUTIH

– rare bird for Malaysia. not that many locations for this bird

– make high speed repeat vibration call (refer video below)

– Large for a scops-owl. This predominantly light brown species is most readily identified by its bright silvery-gray brow. Like other scops-owls, can be difficult to see; listen for its call, a series of low, rapid, trembling hoots that cut off quickly. Predominantly found in lowland forest, though also ventures into lower foothills. (ebird)

saw this owl 2 different location in 2 day, suppose to look for frogmouth but saw these birds twice but missed the Blyth’s frogmouth for 2 nights 🙁

update 2017 Jul 30 – rare owl for Malaysia .. was lucky to spot it months back.. too bad was too busy to tried for a picture .. finally got a record shot. The same week, got a very good photo of the owl at another location … very lucky saw it keep calling

Very lucky to witness how it call and shake the body .. it is a 4k record

7. Dusky eagle-owl, 乌雕鸮, 烏雕鴞, Bubo coromandus, ウスグロワシミミズク, BURUNG-HANTU BERTANDUK KELABU ASIA

– rare bird for Malaysia

– A very large, grayish-brown owl with yellow eyes and distinctive ears. Note the fine barring and dark streaks on the pale underparts, and white patches on the shoulders.

update 202410

– a not so common owl found Malaysia. Big size and with very vocal if found the correct one.

– I am making some nearby forest for trying the new CANON R1 to trying for AF lock on, AF tracking, Image Quality, Pre-capture … and trying again the in camera upscale. Found this bird roost at one of the Palm Oil plantation before strong sunlight come in, the bird sudden flying out to its’ roosting side.the R1 as expected captured most of the frame without any issue even with background change.

– 一直马来西亚不很容易见到的大鸮。通常叫的很厉害。

– 这个月，开始要测试佳能的新相机（R1）上个月已测试了工程机。（其实没太多问题除了开不到RAW档）。其实，不知道还需要测试什么。R3的对焦对我来讲已几乎没错过任何的雨林情况。可是，还是抱有蛮多希望增强一些我真的需要的。对焦，追焦，画质应该大致都是很好。我对“预拍”（这个应该是佳能的卖点），只要控制缓冲好。这个预拍是一只都预拍，不像其他牌子。用了后，都要等上好几秒。在到达第一个点，找到这鸟在黑暗处站。等到光线好点时，拍下蛮多照片。可是这鸟突然飞出来，一直到远处（去睡觉了）。真如我的想法一样，这种情况。没错过任何一刻。

#####

update 202303

update 202209

– in one month, 2 sites 6 birds found. Lucky guests, 4 birds calling and 2 are so near to use. They might fighting for territory.

– a good practice of my guests, we leave them alone after short time of photograph session. They say “don’t disturb them too long” ! and they are photographers .

– 一个月内2个地方见到4只（遇到6只，2只听到看到很远）。这4只一直在叫，可能在争区域。

– 2位摄影客人，只是拍了几分钟就要离开了。他们讲不要打扰太久。

– what a day end with fantastic bird, heard the bird call once. Think guest doubt about my hearing (i think). But I am pretty sure the bird make call few times and roughly know the direction. After 1++ hour spent, we had good view of this bird.

– 我听到这鸟叫，可是客人几次都没听到。（他应该也怀疑我听错，可是我很肯定它叫了几声）。终于1个小时多的寻找，看到他了。

Turnicidae series : Quail | 三趾鹑科 : 鹌鹑 | liewwk Nature

Quail is a collective name for several genera of mid-sized birds generally considered in the order Galliformes.

Old World quail are found in the family Phasianidae, and New World quail are found in the family Odontophoridae. The buttonquail are named more for their superficial resemblance to quail, and are members of the Turnicidae family in the Charadriiformes order. The King Quail, one of the Old World quail, is often sold in the pet trade; and within this trade is commonly, though mistakenly, referred to as a “button quail”. Many of the common larger species are farm-raised for table food or egg consumption, and are hunted on game farms or in the wild, where they may be released to supplement the wild population, or extend into areas outside their natural range.

– this bird use to stand on high up on dry tree

update 202407

– arrive Bukit Tinggi noon time which is not much thing we can do, but trying to look for this lovely bird. Stop at first spot and found this bird stay not that high up. But there is a path to climb up to have eye level. Very soon I found it and spoke to small kid (Dev) without any delay he follow me climb up ~20-30m for this picture .. while we going down only he found out we actually climb up quite high 😀 good work boy

– 我们到达鸟点时已中午，其实没什么鸟。可是我们还是希望找些鸟来拍。第一个点就找到这么一只漂亮的鸟。可是它就如平常一样站的不是太高/矮，可是突然我见到一个小步道可以爬上去应该可以拍平视角。我一讲，客人（12岁）立刻跟随我爬上去。上去后就拍下这么一幕，当我们下去时，他就有点害怕（有点高）。小孩还是无惧很多东西。

update 202408

– honor to try out the new CANON R5mii, most of us really wish firmware upgrade for R5marki for better AF features. but we know while the markii launch mean the hope will fall on the new R5markii. Yes, the AF improve dramatically, it have AF function like R3, R7, R6markii with add on of new feature too.

– this bird fly quite low and any direction, I track it quite well too

what I like

i. animal detect, eye detection now included for single point, 5 points, any zone and also full area

ii. add on new focus area which disable all animal detect !!! it back to old AF method “point AF” .. very useful for condition for the camera difficult to detect the animal !!!

iii. the animal detect simply awesome, it pick up the animal so fast even at complex environment.. hope I can share more soon

iv. tracking is good too, even it is nothing compare to new R1 .. and may R3 (may be so use to the R3, feel the R3 pick up faster and track more “sticky”)

v. the .5s continuous pre-shoot is a real good feature !!! for wildlife .. I dont have many chance test this but it should be one of the best feature !!! all other brands may also follow this soon 😀

– 非常幸运马来西亚佳能，借了我新的R5markii用了3天。相信大家都有与我一样的“希望”。对焦。对焦。对焦。

对我3天的用，我一些感想。

i. 终于，它有了与R3,R7, R6makrii一样的对焦功能，加上新的“点”对焦。吧对焦区域直接换这个，就会想久的对焦方式。不会用上动物对焦。（在很多情况下，这会帮我们对焦上AI 找不到动物）

ii, 动物对焦真的很快，复杂的情况也很快找到。追焦，还是可以。可能用习惯R3，感觉R3还是追焦好点。等2-3星期后再试。

iii. 那个半秒一直预先拍下半秒的照片，这应该是这几的最好的创新吧（相信其他品牌应该也会用这个吧）。拍下半秒加上继续的1-2秒。只要不是过了相机buffer,相机是一只普通的拍的。不用像以前所有的预拍功能要等上好几秒才可以继续用相机。这真的是太好了。

A colorful stubby-tailed bird, also known as “Navrang,” translated as “nine colors.” Colors are most striking when the bird is in flight. This bird has long, strong legs and a stout bill, a buffy crown with a black stripe in the middle, a black eye-stripe, and and buffy underparts with bright red on the vent. Upperparts are green, with a blue shoulder patch. It is usually seen foraging on forest floors with thick undergrowth, catching insects in leaf litter. This bird is vocal, giving its characteristic two-noted whistle call at dusk and dawn. [Ebird]

1. Giant Pitta, 大蓝八色鸫, 大藍八色鶇, Hydrornis caeruleus, オニヤイロチョウ, BURUNG-PACAT BIRU BESAR

update 202308

– same month again, the bird active late, 3 weeks ago when I am there no bird call or sight. But yesterday, it is so active to gave us everyone very good view. and I only have this angle view after first found it and brought all other guests over to have this bird. last bird of the group..

– 同一个月，可是好像有点迟。3个星期前完全还是没什么声音。昨天非常活跃，让我们全部团员看/拍个够。我没什么照片，找到，确定可以。拍下这一幕，就跑去拉其他团员来看拍。20+天团最后一只鸟。

update 202208

– Danum Valley still a best place to see this bird, and found this “tame” bird last few hours before we leaving to other destination. But it still give us good look.

– a shy and big bird

– at this situation between tree, branch, the CANON R7 easily lock the bird eye … soon we will forgot whats is “focus points”

– 丹绒谷还是看这鸟最好的地方。在我们离开前2个小时才找到这只蛮乖的。可是它还是让我们看的蛮久的。

– 在这样的情况，树中间，鸟前有阻碍。佳能R7轻松的自己找到鸟眼。我其实就按快门而已。

update 2018 Oct 4

2. Rusty-naped pitta, 栗头八色鸫, 栗頭八色鶇, Hydrornis oatesi, チャガシラヤイロチョウ, BURUNG-PACAT TEPUS GUNUNG

– very shy pitta which sight montane area

update 202311

– after spent 5 days in lowland forest without ours’ target, decided to spend last day in other kind of forest to have some new tick for customer. Never prepare anything, no worm just go to the “feeding spot” and wait. This bird appear and stand for long for us .. so this consider “feeding” ? (for me yes as without the feeding activities the bird wont be there for us)

– this Pitta would be mist difficult Pitta for myself, exclude the feeding spot picture or sighting. I have only 2 open 1-2s moment to have pictures and total <30s view over the years .. who have non feeding picture ? I know my best buddy and I spent our days and weeks …

– 在森林5天没看到目标鸟，客人还是觉得用最后一天到不一样海拔的森林看看一些新鸟种。我们决定到福隆港，到这“喂食点”我们没准备什么“虫” 就在哪等，这鸟也傻傻的出来让我们看/拍。很多人可能觉得，我都美喂。这不是喂食的哦。对我来讲还是喂的吧，人家不喂。这鸟不会傻傻来这里啦。

– 这八色鸫算是马来西亚最难拍的八色鸫吧。野拍/看，我也只有1-2秒时间看到全开拍照的一刻。看到这鸟也不会超过30秒（过去15年）。可是这鸟让我想起我最要好的朋友。。。。。。

Thanks some effort of the birder for keep the good place allow many other photograph this bird as not everyone has so much time (come at right time) for non feeding …

– 另一只鸟，在对的时间蛮容易拍到。可是错时间事，看都很难。感谢一些鸟人执著，搞了一些“喂食点”才让很多人看到这么漂亮的八色鸫。虽然自己叫喜欢拍野拍可是不是每个人有这么多时间+能耐。

– 婆罗洲特有种。

– 公鸟-蓝头，尾。红背。胸腹是紫蓝。母鸟都是棕色，蓝尾

update 202409

– another bird always to look for when we are at Borneo. This month, we saw it few times at Danum Valley and Tabin. Amazing colors on this particular bird.

– 每个人到婆罗洲都想看的一只鸟，不很普通也不稀有。在对的地方，对的时候就很容易。这一个月以来，在丹浓谷保护区+塔宾野生动物保护区见到很多次也拍到蛮多次。。。这一只就站我几尺的面前。

#####

update 202408

– it is always good reason to visit Danum Valley for this wonderful Pitta, this bird can be either very challenge or very easy to see especially the right time and place. (plan for right time, the bird can be like this one just give up show infront of 10 of us and stay for photo)

– 很多理由到丹浓谷，这一只这么漂亮的鸟就只其中之一。在对的时间+点。这鸟可以很容易。就像这一只，自己跳出来再站好好让我们拍照。完全没喂食+叫的。

#####

update 202407

– when the time come, right season make this so much easier ..compare to last few months. The bird just come and check and I am just ~10 feet from him. I think this is one of the Pitta I really enjoy to see its’ behavior than waiting for hours in spot … so much fun to see ~5 birds just 2 km in the trail .. 3 of them gave me good chance to have photographs

– 时间到了，上一团我们几乎很难听到他叫。这一次，几乎哪都听到。很容易就看到，在我走林道（大概2公里）就遇上5只，3只乖乖站让我拍照。

#####

update 202402

– it is not a new site for this feeding station, 12-13 years ago I got my Blue-headed Pitta similar site and it is not feeding .. the bird just there and it was very fun trip with few good buddies .. Andy Pau, Jasnnie, Ah Lee, Shunfa .. this time we went for feed !!! but the bird came while we arrive and came infornt of me ~4-5feet away without food or hide !!! But after wait for 3 hours .. it came with a chick few times but not the male .. it is a tough time spent with almost 8 hours for Blue-Banded and 3 hours for no male … but this female really beautiful and I think I never got any good picture of female of this bird

– 这个点我在12-13年前就来过与好几位好朋友来拍一样的鸟。当时是没喂食的，就在哪等。鸟自己来跳来跳去。那是的感觉与现在的“等”鸟真的很不一样。可是话说这鸟是喂食的，可是在我们到达时这鸟自己跳来5-6尺前。。。我们没帐篷，虫。虽然很容易拿下，可是还是没等到公鸟。对着斗湖的八色鸫有点恐惧感。。。蓝斑等了～8小时没等到，这鸟也等了3小时没公鸟。可是对我自己来说还是不错，我应该没拍过漂亮的母鸟。

#####

update 202310

– working on some old hdd transfer to new backup-working hardiscs . This is one of the most amazing moment I meet this bird so far, it keep chasing us from ~100m away

54. Ivory-breasted Pitta, 白胸八色鸫, 牙白胸八色鳥, Pitta maxima

A distinctive large, plump, short-tailed, long-legged forest bird with a black upperside and white underside, a striking red area on the lower belly, and a conspicuous silvery-blue shoulder patch. Juvenile duller, with buff on underparts. Shy, more often heard than seen. Usually found singly or in pairs in humid lowland and hill forest. Forages on the ground, but while calling often perches high in the understory or canopy. Very vocal; frequently given song is a mournful wolf whistle. [Ebird]

– 非常大的八色鸫。背部全黑。前部白+红。很特别。在这岛上，几乎那都听到这鸟的叫声。

update 202310

– arrived Halmahera, before anything go for this main target … due to long travel everyone seem tired but luckily the bird appear not that long compare to other waiting 😀 and it is huge in size, some with 800mm little bit suffer to take whole bird into frame

– 到达哈马黑拉岛，第一件事就是到这个点拿下目标鸟之一。其实有2个机会可是鸟人心情。还是越快拿下越好。可是因为长途跋涉，每个人都很累。还好比起其他八色鸫，这只让我们等了大概1++小时还好吧。喂食点，走到这也不难。

update 202304

– post this before I get busy months again. This is one of the most amazing experience on this trip. When day 1 arrived with heavy rain, after rain stop we did quick birding surrounding our homestay. when we walk near the river, owner say why not we go for quick try on the Pitta and keep mentioned “if the bird is nearby or little bit distance he can do pick-up service” !! (I am thinking pick-up service hmmm). But the bird came without long wait or any issue. (so we missed the pick-up service show)

– next day after Standardwing BOP, we walk back to homestay and pass by the Pitta spot. We would like to try for this pitta again for male. After long wait (~15minutes) , he say the bird is far lets’ him pick-up the pitta .. I was like hmm how ? But he walk into the bush and use whistler/call. After ~10minutes wait, we heard the bird call getting nearer and soon we saw him walking out from the bush. and you can see the Pitta is following him coming out from the bush (may be ~10-15m away) !!!!!! “pick up service”

– 觉得需要把这先写下，这是我在这11天团里觉得最不值得分享经验之一。（或在这一生中也蛮特别）。我们经过一天的飞机-车-八色鸫-船-车-大雨的折磨。终于到了民宿。雨停后我们也不闲的去看鸟，当然我是唯一带相机的我就拍拍记录照给大家。走走的到了河边，民宿主人问我们要试试八色鸫吗？我们觉得时间不多了，怕不出来浪费时间。可是他说，不怕鸟不在。“我可以去接它过来” ！！！心想什么鬼，接！！！可是我们到后八色鸫一下就出来让我们看的兴奋了。（主要目标之一达标）

第二天一早我们先去看/拍幡羽极乐鸟。容易地拿下后。大家也想回去八色鸫的点看有运气看到巨大的公鸟吗。可是这次等了15分钟等候完全没声音，”他“就说没问题。我去接它过来！（心想又夸口）。他走了近草丛，大概10分钟后我们听到八色鸫叫了。然后他从草丛里走了出来，然后最不可思议的事。八色鸫在跟随他（大概10-15米）后跳了出来！！！我们都讲，这样都可以？我终于知道人-鸟是一起这样的。”接送服务“！

– picture after the “pick-up” service

– 被接送后的照片。

55. Graceful Pitta, 黑冠八色鸫, 黑冠八色鳥, Erythropitta venusta, スマトラヤイロチョウ

a very similar to Borneo Black-headed Pitta and Garnet pitta call and similar look. But it is an endemic to Sumatra island

– 与婆罗洲的黑头八色鸫，西马的榴红八色鸫非常像。叫声也很像。

update 202411

– this year seem not much luck on this bird, not that many sighting compare to last year and each sight very short time for picture opportunity. Luckily that still managed to have few click before it disappear.

– 今年似乎没有那么幸运，这种鸟的目击次数比去年少，而且每次出现的时间都很短，拍照的机会非常有限。幸运的是，在它消失之前，我还是拍到了几张照片。

#####

update 202401

– while we looking for the Ground-cuckoo, that area actually plenty of this Pitta. We saw one just 3-5feet from us stand there and cannot take any picture and this bird same just came to us and look at us .. beautiful moment even not a good picture compare to previous feeding station picture but it is a different satisfaction to find one wild..

– 我们在找地鹃时，那个点蛮多这鸟的。我们最近的一只竟然跳到我们3-5尺前看着我们，对焦都不行。这一只在第2天我们也在找地鹃时，他自己跳出来看我们。野拍的，我们会比较记住那一这么美好的一刻。

update 202312

– saw this bird yesterday while waiting ours target, the bird stand 5 feed at us looking at us and definitely not able to focus to have a picture. Today, go to the “easy side” but 2 landslides happen car cannot drive through, we birding and walk ~8km to reach. While we cooking coffee, the bird calling and came…

– 昨天在等鸟时，见到这鸟。可是竟然站离我们～5尺，绝对没机会对焦。今天就打算去“喂食点”看看。可是竟然遇到2个地方塌方,我们就选择走走看鸟+去这个点。走了8公里，在等水泡咖啡。鸟就到了。拿下咯

56. Elegant Pitta, 华丽八色鸫, 優雅八色鳥, Pitta elegans, ティモールノドグロヤイロチョウ, Paok laus

another “green pitta” almost can heard any where of “east Sumba” almost like other Pitta, so difficult to spot one even can heard many places

– 另一只绿色八色鸫，在东部几乎那都听到。可是与其他八色鸫一样都是听多过看。

#####

update 202401

– one of the main target, but know it is “feeding spot” it make we not worry of this bird to be photograph. after first night failed of owling, everyone seem tired next day and choose to go the “station”. When we arrive just after <30minute drive from ours hotel and walk less than 5 minutes, the local who manage the “hide” say bird already seen so immediate everyone getting ready the “big lens and camera”. without long wait we have very good view and picture but very quick one than stay near bush for quite some time before 2nd appearance and after 2nd round it stay nearby and I got this picture which I think I prefer this instead perfect view 😀

– another Indonesia endemic

– 我们这一摄影团主要目标之一，可是我们知道有喂食。所以没太大担心。第一晚的没鸮晚上，我们第二天就选了容易+高兴的“檀”

当我们到达时，很快檀主说鸟在了。我们很快准备好，没很久。站在客人最喜欢的，绿青苔石头+背景。可是就那一刻，等了蛮久第2轮出来就在地上跳来跳去。吃完后就到后面站了一会让我拍下这一刻（我本身较喜欢的）

57. Schneider’s Pitta, 施氏八色鸫, 許尼氏八色鳥, Hydrornis schneideri, キタスマトラヤイロチョウ

Large-headed and long-legged, this rare and rotund Sumatran endemic is found only in foothill forests between 900 to 2400 meters (typically in the upper half), where it is most easily detected by its strange song, a spaceship-like “oowOOOOwooWOOH.” Male has a sky-blue back and incomplete black collar, while the female has a dull brownish back and a dull blue tail. [EBird]

update 202411

– One of our main targets for this trip, but it didn’t show up at the “feeding spot.” After waiting at two locations, it suddenly appeared not far away. Everyone quickly grabbed their gear, and although it remained tame, it never came to the feeding spot. Still, we were thrilled to see the female, especially since we missed it last year—though this year, we missed the male!

– 这是我们此行的主要目标之一，但它似乎没有出现在“喂食点”。在两个地点等待后，它突然出现在不远处。大家立刻拿起装备，虽然它依然很驯服，但并没有来到喂食点。不过，我们还是很高兴看到了雌鸟，尤其是去年错过了它——不过今年却错过了雄鸟！
