感謝上星期到來室內講座的鳥友. 以下這些相片都是在 Erongo Mountains 附近拍的.
Erongo Wilderness Lodge 附近可輕易找到一些極為罕有的 near-endemic 鳥. 酒店座落於巨石群中. 環境優美. 是賞鳥及健行的好地方.
Thanks for those attending the indoor meeting last Wednesday. Here are some of the pictures I promised to put them here.
Erongo Mountains is one of the oldest mountain range on earth. This area is famous for birders for being a very reliable site to see a number of Namibia’s most sought-after near-endemics. The Erongo Wilderness Lodge provides a comfortable base to search for the birds and the scenery itself is stunning. Just wake up before dawn and you will be rewarded with a lovely array of birds.
Hartlaub’s Spurfowl
Near-endemic. They started calling before dawn on the boulders and disappeared when sun is up. 日出前起床定必聽到牠們狂叫. 天光後牠們卻不知所蹤.

第一天早上很幸運可看到近的. 雄性.

Rosy-faced Lovebird
Near-endemic. Over a hundred of them congregated around the lodge but dispersed after 30 minutes or so. 大量. 早上群集在食堂附近. 天光後散去.

Rockrunner
Near-endemic. As its name suggested, it bounds across rocks and has excellent camouflage. This is one of the star birds in Erongo Mountains. 喜在石群中跳來跳去. 牠是酒店的明星雀. 但並非一定見到. 要有耐性等待.

Erongo Mountains is also a good place to look for Hornbill. Here we have seen 3 species of Hornbills. 酒店附近也是尋找犀鳥的好地方. 有 3 種犀鳥應可看到.
Monteiro’s Hornbill
Near-endemic. A pair of Monteiro’s Hornbill stayed long enough for us to have good pictures. 一對 monteiro’s hornbill 停在地上覓食. 讓我們拍過夠.

We have seen two male (with very long tail) were chasing one female and swiftly flying from one tree to another. I was just able to capture the male. 二隻長尾的雄性壽帶追逐一隻雌性. 可惜牠們飛得太快. 只拍到長尾的一隻.
