3. Pied Avocet, 反嘴鹬, 反嘴鹬, Recurvirostra avosetta, ソリハシセイタカシギ, KEDIDI PARUH-CEKUNG UBUN HITAM

– beautiful bird with up-curve billed

Striking and essentially unmistakable, with elegant shape, boldly pied plumage, long bluish-gray legs, and long, slender, upcurved bill. Curve is stronger on female. Usually breeds in small colonies; nesting birds call noisily. Nonbreeding flocks locally number in hundreds. Feeds while wading or swimming, sweeping its bill side to side. Most common in coastal wetlands and brackish lagoons and estuaries, but will also appear inland, particularly on or near large lakes. (Ebird)

反嘴鹬（学名：Recurvirostra avosetta）是反嘴鹬科反嘴鹬属鸟类。中型涉禽，体长40-45厘米。嘴黑色，细长而向上翘。脚亦较长，青灰色。头顶从前额至后颈黑色，翼尖和翼上及肩部两条带斑黑色，其余体羽白色。飞翔时黑色头顶、黑色翅尖，以及背间部和翅上的黑带与白色的体羽和远远伸出于尾后的暗色脚形成鲜明对比，甚为醒目，野外不难识别。 [1]
反嘴鹬栖息于平原和半荒漠地区的湖泊、水塘和沼泽地带，有时也栖息于海边水塘和盐碱沼泽地。迁徙期间亦常出现于水稻田和鱼塘。冬季多栖息于海岸及河口地带。主要以小型甲壳类、水生昆虫、昆虫幼虫、蠕虫和软体动物等小型无脊椎动物为食。 [1]
分布于欧洲、中东、中亚、塔吉克斯坦、阿富汗、西西伯利亚南部和外贝加尔湖地区，越冬于里海南部、非洲、印度和缅甸等南亚和东南亚地区。在中国分布于新疆、青海、内蒙古、辽宁、黑龙江、吉林等省，越冬于西藏南部、广东、福建和香港等南部沿海省区，迁徙期间经过河北、山东、山西、陕西、江苏、湖南和四川等省，偶尔也见于中国台湾省。

8k video from CANON EOS R5 | liewwk Nature

One of the reasons to own 8k video most probably is to crop the video like this one to get more clarity (but I didn’t reduce it to 4k just want to show 8k video and zoom in)

let’s have a look at 4k and tell me how’s this video looks like? very good? good? normal?

update 202101

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

– one of the 8k 25p video by CANON EOS R5

– trying to zoom in ~100% crop (picture mode), no sharpening

– my 2016 Mac Book Pro 13″ not able to play the video file. I just put into Premiere Pro and export it to MP4 with Zoom in effect

佳能 EOS R5 的 8k 視頻。 我的蘋果 MBP 13″ 2016沒辦法做太多的後期。就切到～100% （照片）
