– small raptor which normally catches pray at dusk
– It is named for its diet, which consists mainly of bats.
swift-like raptor with angular wings and a massive gape; capable of snatching prey from the air and devouring it in a flash while still on the wing. Dark with varying amounts of white on the underside; African birds have patchy white throughout the underparts, while white is restricted to the throat and lower belly on New Guinean birds and solely to the throat in Southeast Asian birds. Inactive during the day; hunts at dawn and dusk, and occasionally into the night if light is sufficient. Generally uncommon and localized, most reliably encountered near large bat roosts in forested areas, but can also be seen over open forest, fields, and fringes of habitation. (ebird)
中型猎鹰，总体黑色，在胸部有少许白斑。一般在夜间活动，主要特征是嘴裂较大，可在飞行中吞食昆虫和蝙蝠。

– a pre-tout visit a feeding spot for this Borneo rare endemic. It is a real beautiful gem of Borneo forest. Look at the back, it is open like a coral such a beautiful . (sorry for bad quality with crop as only 500mm use which require heavy crop)
– 观鸟团开始前，我们几个人到这看/拍加里曼丹孔雀雉。虽然是喂食点，可是这鸟真的很漂亮。婆罗洲最漂亮的鸟之一。看看他的背不，开起来时。有如珊瑚般。

– 又到这个美丽的孔雀雉点。我们几个月以来，蛮多朋友都等很久或没看到这鸟。昨天，几位鸟友也等到4pm.鸟才出来一会。我们也很担心，可是今天他尽然在10:32am就出现了。（昨天我们还开玩笑，不怕。我们约了鸟10:30am).太幸运了。
– 今天也蛮特别的，很少会听到它一直叫的。叫了一个早上

– finally completed another Borneo special task. But not really a good trip as almost everyday raining. Bird activity as expected still low. But this main target show well without long wait and come close.
– what a nature beauty. For me bird is far beautiful than human.
– 2022 最后一次婆罗洲特别鸟团。不是太理想，每天都很大雨。鸟况如预期，还是很不好。可是这主要的鸟还是没让我们失望。没太久来很近。
– 自然的美，与其他的美很不一样。给我选，鸟美大于人美。
update 202207
– even not a lifer for me, but see it near and stay is a totally different feeling. This bird is so beautiful when lighting hit at the right position of the body.
– 虽然见过这鸟，可是近距离+停留（之前见到的都是在跑的），这鸟真的很漂亮。

– 非常稀有的婆罗洲特有种。再2016 前，很多人还以为这鸟一在婆罗洲北部绝种。在一群森林研究工作人员拍到照片后终于肯定了，这鸟没在婆罗洲北部（马来西亚）绝种。
在疫情后一段时间我终于有机会拍到这鸟。

as other Peacock-Pheasant, it is shy and look at the body feather pattern, this Peacock-Pheasant simply beautiful
update 202312

– 雨其他孔雀稚一样， 漂亮，害羞。都不容易看到。在施氏八色鸫“喂食”点，有一双回来。很漂亮可是可惜他们在，都会赶其他鸟。所以我们一个早上都没看到其他鸟来。（他们出现后）

101. Sri Lanka Junglefowl, 蓝喉原鸡, 藍喉原雞, Gallus lafayettii， セイロンヤケイ
Wild chickenlike bird. Male is burnt orange with dark streaks, cockerel-like glossy black tail, and a prominent red comb marked with yellow on the crown. Gray-brown female has white streaks and prominent barring on its wings. Terrestrial, found in pairs or small groups in forests of lowlands and highlands over much of Sri Lanka. Generally keeps to cover. Only confusion is with domestic chicken; note lack of white at tail base, and yellow marking on comb of males, and bars in wings of females in Sri Lanka Junglefowl. Song a harsh “chyok-cher-chow”. Also stuttering “kik-kik-kik-kik” notes. [Ebird]
– very beautiful and noisy bird and common almost any where too
– 非常漂亮，吵，蛮普通的鸡
update 202312

– 非常普通的特有种鸟，我们也没特别找。看到就拍。
151. Swinhoe’s Pheasant, 蓝腹鹇, 藍腹鷴, Lophura swinhoii, サンケイ
Secretive, handsome endemic pheasant of Taiwan’s mountains. Male slaty blue from nape to flanks, with contrasting white upper back, brown mantle, and dark gray wings; female mostly rich brown with pale markings above. Both sexes have red facial skin, more extensive in male. Forages quietly in pairs in the forest understory, occasionally along forest edge on trails or roads. Both sexes give subtle clucking calls and a high-pitched squeaky alarm call. Male has white in tail and back, unlike Mikado Pheasant; female distinguished by richer plumage tones, broader tail, pale bill, reddish legs, and unmarked underparts. [Ebird]
– finish my Taiwan trip last 10days ago and now finish Sumatra, 2023 going to end… a busy year and another busy year coming… what’s everyone plan ?
– I had the same Pheasant 16years +- ago but I remember it was either 30/40d 100400 and misty, dark … so I don’t even remember I had keep the photo or not. But finally this time I got opportunity to see it for longer time, better weather … hope see it again future
– 台湾回来后， 再来了苏门答腊。也结束了。2023很忙，蛮忙的2024 也要到来了。大家都有什么打算？
– 我在16+-年前就拍过这鸟，可是当时相机（30/40D）加上雾+暗。照片有没有留下也是一个问号。今年终于再见到他，拍下不错照片。希望还有机会看这么漂亮的鸟

update 202312
– a casual trip to Taiwan, spend some of the time for birding and while going down from DaxueShan (大雪山）, stop by ~17 years ago spot and update by local birder the bird can be found there but not very promising due to no feeding allow policy apply. But I am just walk up and down birding at the famous 23.5k got some birds and meet up Kuan-Chieh Hung (Taiwan Bird guide) with guests. After some chit chat session, one of the guesst say .. come come come .. which not really at casual location. 1 male and 3 female relaxing for more than 5 minutes
– female see very beautiful with so much body pattern
– 这次到台湾不是主要为鸟。可是还是利用有的时间，机会看看，拍拍鸟。在大雪山回程时，停在17年前（朋友带过我们到这，他也让我知道。这鸟还在，就不是很活跃因为台湾不允许喂食。所以鸟也不常来了）
在这遇上fb 朋友 （红冠），他可是台湾鸟导。与他在哪谈了一会，突然他的客人。叫我们“过来，过来。。“。过去看到这漂亮的特有种。1雄3雌在哪活动了好几分钟。
– 雌鸟很少很漂亮。这鸟很不一样，母鸟真的很美。
