Bar-Bellied Pitta (Hydrornis elliotii)

one kind of bird that I love. I have a lot of great memory of this bird, it was the very first target pitta species I wanted to capture, turn out I got the Blue-winged Pitta because the rainy season does not support for Bar-bellied Pitta spot.
Then got more months wandering around its habitat before I could capture it. When it showed up, it was a very long time of exciting hope to have its video, it was an award for me, it not only showed up, but it also called and echoed through the forest, a stunning moment that I never forget.
This is a link to a video of this bird's calling at the location the first time I captured it, I hope you will enjoy this video https://youtu.be/Ijzx9C5VNHI
