点评:Ganesh sir is the best! For his experience and dedication to his craft, he charges peanuts, definitely (just ₹2500 for the two of us) - really grateful to him for an amazing morning full of nature, bird calls, and of course, crazy sightings :)
The highlights weren’t even spotting the Asian Fairy Bluebird, White-Bellied Black Woodpecker, Malabar Flameback Woodpecker, Velvet-Fronted Nuthatch, Orange-Bellied Thrush, Malabar Grey Hornbill, Malabar Parakeet, Emerald Dove, Orange Minivet, Rosefinch, various Warblers and a Pale-billed Flowerpecker - okay yes those were highlights for sure - but his perfect recognition, imitation and location of bird calls, and the behaviour patterns of them as well. Really shows that he keeps up with his solo birding to keep his knowledge up to date.
Felt like a nice morning walk, bird-watching with a friend. My father was also very impressed and felt 10 years younger with all that enthusiasm and curiosity. Here’s a photo of us three, and yes, I’d just heard the call of the Malabar Trogon when it was taken - we’ll find it some other day
Processing the photos from today, might upload here later
Thank you Ganesh sir, and to whoever is reading this, sorry for the verbose writing, but I hope it shows how much we recommend the aptly named Birdman of Coorg :)
翻译:Ganesh先生真是太棒了!以他丰富的经验和对工作的热情,他的收费绝对物超所值(我们两个人才花了2500卢比)——非常感谢他带我们度过了一个充满自然风光、聆听鸟鸣、当然还有各种奇妙鸟类的美好上午 :)
亮点并非仅仅是看到了亚洲仙蓝鸲、白腹黑啄木鸟、马拉巴金背啄木鸟、绒额䴓、橙腹鸫、马拉巴灰犀鸟、马拉巴鹦鹉、翠绿鸠、橙山椒鸟、朱雀、各种莺类以及淡嘴啄花鸟——当然,这些也确实是亮点——而是他对鸟鸣的完美识别、模仿和定位能力,以及对鸟类行为模式的精准把握。这充分说明他坚持独自观鸟,不断更新自己的知识。
感觉就像和朋友一起享受了一次美好的晨间漫步和观鸟之旅。我父亲也深受感动,他那份热情和好奇心让他感觉年轻了十岁。这是我们三人的合影,没错,拍照的时候我正好听到了马拉巴尔咬鹃的叫声——我们改天再去找找吧。
正在处理今天的照片,可能会稍后上传。
谢谢您,Ganesh 先生。也感谢所有看到这段文字的人,抱歉我写了这么多,但我希望这能体现我们对这位名副其实的“库尔格鸟人”的推荐之情 :)
