Surprised that I haven’t shared this beautiful yet very common bird before. I’ve photographed it in many places—Malaysia (Kuala Gula, Kota Kinabalu), South Africa, Thailand, Kenya, and China.

This time was special, as it was the closest encounter so far. The bird was feeding right outside our hotel and wasn’t bothered at all, even when we got quite close.

有点惊讶自己之前竟然没分享过这只既美丽又常见的鸟。我在很多地方都拍过它——马来西亚(瓜拉古拉、哥打京那巴鲁)、南非、泰国、肯尼亚和中国。

不过这一次真的很特别,这是我拍过距离最近的一次。它就在我们酒店外觅食,即使我们靠得很近,也完全不受影响。

It was a freezing morning at around –6°C. We went to Napa Lake mainly to revisit some good memories from years ago. After waiting for a beautiful sunrise, I was almost ready to return to the car when I suddenly heard a bird calling very close by. The bird stayed low to the ground, barely moving—likely due to the cold—with ice clearly visible around it.

I managed to capture some close shots, and that moment became the happiest highlight of this casual, relaxing trip to Yunnan.

清晨气温低至约零下 6°C。这次只是来到纳帕海,重温多年前到访时的美好回忆。看完日出后,正准备返回车上时,突然听到附近传来鸟叫声。那只鸟几乎贴近地面,一动不动,应该是因为天气太冷,周围还能看到结冰的痕迹。

能够近距离拍到它,成了这趟云南轻松休闲之旅中最开心、最难忘的时刻。
