update 202411

– It’s one of those tiny, mysterious birds that appears briefly and disappears just as quickly. Rare and shy, it’s often challenging to get a clear view. I photographed this bird in Sumatra last year, and this year, with the Photography group, we put in extra effort for a better shot. Finally, we were rewarded with some truly amazing moments with this elusive bird…

– 这是一种小而神秘的鸟，总是匆匆出现又迅速消失。它稀有且害羞，很难清晰地观察到。去年我在苏门答腊拍摄到了这只鸟，而今年，我和摄影小组一起更加努力，希望能拍到更好的照片。最终，我们得到了与这只难得一见的鸟相遇的美好瞬间。
