点评:We contacted Idris (not a Welshman but a local Balinese) well in advance and he sent us a list of the various trips that he offers. It is best to contact him via WhatsApp on the following number:
+62 823 4018 5768
Compared with many things on the island, his trips are not cheap but they really are excellent.
On the first morning he met us really early and took us into the park for about 3 1/2 hours of bird-watching. In that time we saw over forty species of bird, each of them new to us. This included a pair of Bali starlings and many different species of kingfisher.
The next day we set off to towards the ferry port of Gilmanuk but then went down a side track and out on a boat in the secluded cove. We learnt a lot about the mangroves but the birdwatching was disappointing, although we did see a small blue / cerulean kingfisher diving for fish and had a great sighting of a lesser adjutant stork, fishing for eels. When we returned to the car, there was a pair of Bali starlings in a tree by the car park.
We then went back towards our hotel (The Menjangan ecolodge) and set off in a long-tailed boat to Menjangan Island, where the snorkelling was superb. Idris came in with us and pointed out many fish which we may well have missed. He provided a great lunch on the island where we were watched by a couple of the local deer (Javan rusa or Sunda sambar).
At times Idris is not that easy to understand, which can be a bit frustrating but his knowledge of the fauna and flora more than makes up for this.
When we were back in the hotel, in the evening, in came messages from Idris, sharing links to the relevant pages on the Merlin app, letting us know which species we had seen throughout the day; excellent service.
翻译:我们提前联系了Idris(他不是威尔士人,而是巴厘岛当地人),他给我们发了一份他提供的各种行程清单。最好通过WhatsApp联系他,电话号码如下:

与岛上的许多行程相比,他的行程并不便宜,但确实非常棒。
第一天早上,他很早就来接我们,带我们去公园观鸟,大约三个半小时。在这段时间里,我们看到了40多种鸟类,每一种都是我们从未见过的。其中包括一对巴厘椋鸟和许多不同种类的翠鸟。
第二天,我们出发前往吉尔马努克(Gilmanuk)的渡轮码头,然后绕道而行,乘船游览了僻静的海湾。我们了解了很多关于红树林的知识,但观鸟体验却令人失望。不过,我们确实看到了一只小型蓝翠鸟/天蓝色翠鸟潜水捕鱼,还看到了一只小秃鹳在捕食鳗鱼。回到车上时,看到停车场旁的一棵树上有一对巴厘岛椋鸟。
之后,我们返回酒店(孟姜冈生态旅馆),乘坐长尾船前往孟姜冈岛,那里的浮潜体验非常棒。伊德里斯和我们一起上岛,指给我们看了许多我们可能错过的鱼。他在岛上准备了一顿丰盛的午餐,几只当地的鹿(爪哇鹿或巽他水鹿)也在我们身边徘徊。
有时,伊德里斯的言谈举止不太容易理解,这可能会让人有点沮丧,但他对当地动植物的了解足以弥补这一点。
晚上回到酒店后,我们收到了伊德里斯发来的消息,分享了 Merlin 应用程序上相关页面的链接,让我们知道一天中看到了哪些物种;非常棒的服务。
