森の宝石ブッポウソウ(動画あり)

昨日、電線に止まっていたブッポウソウですが、私の 師匠 が、近くで撮影できる場所を見つけてくれました。2メートルはあろうかというチガヤをかき分けて崖の手前まで行くと目の前にブッポウソウが!!

師匠の行動力と根性にはいつも感動します!!

The Dollarbird that always seemed to be sitting on a power line or somewhere underwhelming suddenly appeared right in front of me!! I was genuinely moved for the first time in a long while.

I also tried a shot at 1200mm. Those beautiful feathers are just stunning.
