1. Ornate Pitta, 丽色八色鸫, 麗色八色鸫, Pitta concinna, インドネシアノドグロヤイロチョウ
A typical pitta: plump, short-tailed, long-legged, and primarily terrestrial (sometimes perches up to call). Bright green above with electric blue shoulder patch and rump and black head with conspicuous pale brow. Underside golden-buff with black and bright red on the belly. Juvenile duller, with little blue in wing, an orange-tipped bill, and a pinkish belly. Resident in woodland, forest, scrub, and plantations in the lowlands and hills of the Lesser Sundas, from Lombok east to Alor. Formerly regarded as a subspecies of Elegant Pitta, to which it is very similar; Ornate averages more extensively black on the throat and lower belly, and has a fairly evenly divided rufous-and-white “eyebrow.” Also note Ornate’s whistled two-note call [Ebird]
典型的八色鸫:体型圆胖,尾巴短,腿长,主要在地面活动(有时会飞到高处鸣叫)。身体上部鲜绿色,肩部和尾部有亮蓝色斑块,头部黑色,带有醒目的浅色眉纹。下体为金黄褐色,腹部带有黑色和鲜红色。幼鸟的颜色较暗淡,翅膀上的蓝色较少,喙尖呈橙色,腹部略带粉红色。
分布于小巽他群岛的低地和丘陵地区,包括林地、森林、灌丛和种植园,从龙目岛向东延伸至阿洛尔岛。过去被认为是优雅八色鸫的一个亚种,与其非常相似;但装饰八色鸫喉部和腹部下方的黑色范围更广,且眉纹为较均匀分布的红褐色和白色。此外,装饰八色鸫的鸣叫声为清晰的两声式哨音。

A special arrangement was made with Ramesh for a relaxing birding trip focused on collecting a few endemic species. As usual, pittas, owls, and woodpeckers were our primary targets. Upon arriving at the airport, we had a ~1.5-hour drive followed by a short walk to the feeding spot. After less than 15 minutes of waiting, the bird showed up beautifully, allowing for this “pre-poo” moment to be captured perfectly.
与Ramesh进行了特别安排,来了一次轻松的观鸟之旅,主要目标是收集几种特有物种。和往常一样,八色鸫、猫头鹰和啄木鸟是我们的重点目标。抵达机场后,经过大约1.5小时的陆路旅行,再步行一小段路就到了投喂点。等待不到15分钟,这只鸟便美丽地现身,成功捕捉到了这个“大便”的精彩时刻。
