The overall green coloration, accompanied by a low crest and blue body, is a key target for our group. In the first few days, it seemed fairly common, as its calls and presence could be heard and seen by everyone. However, capturing a photograph proved to be quite challenging—much like our Malkoha, it kept moving between the trees and bushes. Fortunately, just before the heavy rain, we were lucky enough to find one that stayed still for a while, allowing us to capture it.

整体呈绿色,带有低冠和蓝色身体,这是我们团队的主要目标之一。在最初的几天里,它似乎相当常见,大家都能听到它的叫声并看到它的身影。然而,要拍到它的照片却相当困难——就像我们的鸦鹃一样,它总是在树丛间移动。幸运的是,就在大雨来临之前,我们有幸遇到了一只停留了很长时间,让我们成功捕捉到了它的身影。

A male bird with a very long tail, black-and-white plumage, and a striking red beak is hard to miss. While the local guide claimed it was common, we didn’t spot many during our first seven days. However, we were fortunate to see one performing a display for a female, which thrilled everyone. Capturing the moment from the car was quite challenging, but it was an unforgettable experience.

一只拥有非常长尾巴、黑白羽毛和鲜红喙的雄鸟,非常显眼。虽然当地向导说这种鸟很常见,但我们在前七天里并没有看到很多。不过,我们很幸运看到了一只正在为雌鸟表演。这让我们所有人都非常兴奋,而在车内拍摄这景象也是一个不小的挑战,但这是一次难忘的经历。
