Oh, and it was not easy for me to take these photos! Hearing a sonorous buzzing croak, I went in the direction of this sound and saw this bird. She immediately flew up onto a branch, and then completely flew away, frightened.
I followed in the same direction. But this time I was careful and moved slowly without making any noise. Arriving at the place where this bird was, I tried not to move, and it flew from tree to tree, looking at me. And eventually she got used to me.
