7. Bali Myna, 长冠八哥, 峇里島長冠八哥, Leucopsar rothschildi, カンムリシロムク, Jalak Bali

An eye-catching white starling with black tips to the tail and wings, bare blue facial skin, and long plumes that hang down the nape. Juvenile is shorter-crested than adult, with yellow wash. Found in small groups in open forest, where it spends time in the trees and foraging on the ground. Avoids dense forest. Restricted to northwest Bali. Differs from Black-winged Starling in having the black on the wings confined to tips, and in showing blue facial skin. Song is an untidy jumble of scratchy, chattering notes and whistles. [Ebird]

长冠八哥（学名：Leucopsar rothschildi）：是一种大型椋鸟，体长约25厘米，雌雄相似，外形俊朗，羽冠发达，眼睛四周和面部裸出，裸露部分为蓝色，全身羽毛纯白色，尾部和翼端的边缘呈黑色，脚灰色。全身白色，具较长冠羽，羽冠不像一些羽冠发达的鸟类复杂多变，却十分有特点，有丝带状的羽冠简洁随意飘洒。1910年由英国鸟类学家沃尔特·罗斯柴尔德（Walter Rothschild）命名。^[1]

通常栖息在海岸附近长有长草的草原，喜欢三五成群聚居在林地，求偶时雄鸟会竖起冠羽，不断地上下摆动头部。群居，在树上觅食果实和昆虫。因分布区狭，栖息地遭到破坏，野生种群数量稀少，是椋鸟中最罕有物种处境岌岌可危，依然沦落为世界上极危鸟种。分布于印度尼西亚巴厘岛。

update 202401

– 非常特别的巴厘岛特有种，白

8. Small Blue Kingfisher, 小蓝翠鸟, 小藍翠鳥, Alcedo coerulescens, ヒメアオカワセミ, Rajaudang Biru

a very common small blue-white small Kingfisher at Bali-Java, can be seen almost any where near stream, pond …but quite shy as usual

这小翠鸟在巴厘岛几乎蛮普通，可是还是不容易拍。很害羞。

update 202402

– this is a very good example of need more fps .. so not always correct we do not need .. I normally shoot ~15fps in most of the camera by default … when this bird sudden dive in I am too late to change the fps .. and most of the frame without very good “eye contact” or I would say too less frame within the dive action (~7frames)

– 现在相机都说有多快。20，30，40，60，120，240fps .. 蛮多人讲，我们都不需要。。。不是很重要，其实我们大部分时间都不需要。可是有想过吗，有当然比没好啊。当我们需要时却没有，就像我这样。15张一秒，错过蛮多看过来的一幕啊。

update 202401

– a transit easy shooting near ours hotel, saw few of them and need small movement to get close to get closer pictures.

– 再去看松巴岛前，在巴厘岛酒店附近就找到。还蛮还几只，慢慢的走近还是可以拍好。

9. Little Black Cormorant, 小黑鸬鹚, 小黑鸕鷀, Phalacrocorax sulcirostris, ミナミクロヒメウ, Pecuk-padi hitam

– overall black and mid size of bird always found near ponds, river.

– 去松巴岛前一天到巴厘岛，就找了个小池塘过过日子。第一个下午，一到每个人追着鸟（新鸟种）第二天早上没人看了，我一个人在等什么鸟都好在好光线的位置出现。竟然看到2只在抢鱼（虽然不在我要的角度）可是还是拿下吧。

1.Black-crowned Night-Heron, 夜鹭,夜鷺,Nycticorax nycticorax, PUCUNG-KUAK BIASA

– 46-60 cm

– common, widespread, like to roosting big group in same area

Adults have a black crown and back with the remainder of the body white or grey, red eyes, and short yellow legs. They have pale grey wings and white under parts. Two or three long white plumes, erected in greeting and courtship displays, extend from the back of the head. The sexes are similar in appearance although the males are slightly larger. Black-crowned night herons do not fit the typical body form of the heron family. They are relatively stocky with shorter bills, legs, and necks than their more familiar cousins, the egrets and “day” herons. Their resting posture is normally somewhat hunched but when hunting they extend their necks and look more like other wading birds.

Immature birds have dull grey-brown plumage on their heads, wings, and backs, with numerous pale spots. Their underparts are paler and streaked with brown. The young birds have orange eyes and duller yellowish-green legs. They are very noisy birds in their nesting colonies, with calls that are commonly transcribed as quok or woc.
