– a very tiny Woodpecker, overall brown and white. Which normally found near mangrove, nearby river bank.

– another moment with new CANON new R1 .. it is really fun and easy to capture any “birds in flight – begin, perch” just half press the shutter button enable the “Pre-capture” and when the moment after bird fly… press the shutter .. anything .5s before will be captured into the disk in full RAW without stop the Camera continous focus while the flying ..

– 小,棕+白小啄木鸟。通常在红树林,河边可以见到。

– 在我预佳能R1的好几天,这是我真的觉得。以后几乎“飞鸟“的照片应该是很普通了。有了新的预拍功能,只要在鸟起飞前半按下对焦键钮。当鸟飞起,半秒前以内的全RAW档都会记录下。最重要的是拍了后,相机还是一样的可以正常继续拍摄不用任何等待。

Years ago (probably more than 10 years back), this Mangrove Pitta spot was also known for a pair of woodpeckers that often came down to feed. Today, while checking on the Mangrove Pitta, the main target didn’t show up—but instead, a pair of Laced Woodpeckers dropped in and entertained us. A very nice bonus encounter.

很多年前(可能已经超过10年),这个红树林八色鸫的地点,常有一对同种啄木鸟下来觅食。今天在寻找红树林八色鸫时,主角没有现身,却迎来了一对花纹啄木鸟来“客串演出”,也算是一次很棒的意外收获。

update 202508

After successfully seeing both main target species in Peninsular Malaysia, we took it easy on our final morning with some casual birding. The forest was quiet most of the time, and we almost decided to wrap up the session—
Then suddenly, a surprise!

One of the woodpeckers we haven’t seen in nearly two years appeared, along with four other woodpecker species—all at close range. From a slow morning to an exciting finish!

在成功看到马来半岛的两种目标鸟后,我们决定在最后一个早上轻松观鸟。但整个早上森林都很安静,我们差点就决定收工了——
突然间,惊喜出现!

一只大约两年没见的啄木鸟突然现身,还有另外四种啄木鸟也都靠得很近。原本无聊的早晨,变成了一个精彩的收尾!

– common small, rufous woodpecker with pair

update 202411

– One of the most common woodpeckers in Malaysia, this species can be found in a variety of environments—lowlands, mangroves, sub-montane forests, and even urban areas. Its overall rufous coloration makes it hard to miss.

– While testing the Canon R1’s “Continuous Pre-recording” feature, the bird was perched as usual. I half-pressed the shutter to activate Pre-recording, and only fully pressed it when the bird took off from the branch. Every frame of the action was captured in full RAW and saved to my card.

– 这是马来西亚最常见的啄木鸟之一,分布于低地、红树林、亚山地森林,甚至城市等各种环境。它整体呈赤褐色,非常显眼,不容易错过。

– 在测试佳能 R1 的“连续预录”功能时,这只鸟像往常一样站在树枝上。我半按快门开启预录功能,直到鸟从树枝起飞时才完全按下快门。整个动作的每一帧都被完整记录为 RAW 格式并存储在卡中。

update 202410

– a very common lowland forest, mangrove, sub-montane woodpecker. Overall rufous which difficult to miss this bird.

– it is a special out to test the R1, may be I am already start use the “Pre-capture” long ago .. (those Olympus old time, Panasonic etc) for me to captured this kind of “trap focus” “jumping” picture is very easy … now Canon finally come with proper Pre-capture and improve it with … “continous Pre-capture” ..mean it is almost every half-press is a pre capture .. as long as control well the buffer…  I hope I can find a better way to share to all of this about this “Best feature” to have for Wildlife Photography

– 这鸟蛮普通几乎在红树林,低海拔,中海拔森林都容易看到。棕色的鸟不难错过。

– 在这几天,我是在想办法记录下“我想大家知道R1 的强大”。。。其中一环是“预拍”。这功能在很久以前我一开始用,在Olympus, Panasonic 可能在10年前就开始有这个很好的功能。有这功能后,拍摄“陷阱对焦”的“起飞跳”降落“ 几乎都没难读。可是这次,佳能的是绝对加强版的“预拍”。。。之前我们拍后都要等上好几秒相机才可以继续使用。可是这次,佳能的是“连续预拍”只要控制好。几乎每一刻都是预拍的。(可是卡可是要大大的,不然很快就卡满)。。还在努力中要怎么呈现我想表达。

update 202512

Same spot as last year where this bird was actively flying around. Everyone was excited to try for some bird-in-flight shots. For me, it was a great chance to test the Canon R6 Mark III’s AF tracking. So far, it performs well in the field—most of the time it can lock focus even when the bird is flying directly toward us, not just sideways.

和去年一样的地点,这只鸟又在附近飞来飞去,大家都很兴奋尝试抓拍飞行镜头。对我来说,是个很好的机会测试 Canon R6 Mark III 的自动对焦追踪功能。目前在实地表现不错,大多数时候即使鸟是朝着我们飞来而不是水平飞行,相机也能准确追焦。

– One of the common woodpeckers found in Malaysia’s mangroves, this species stands out with its pale eyes, distinguishing it from the common Flameback.

– I’m thoroughly enjoying the new Continuous Pre-recording feature on the Canon R1. It virtually guarantees capturing the exact moment an action begins, without missing a beat. In this instance, I half-pressed the shutter before the bird moved, and once the action started, a full press ensured that the preceding 0.5 seconds were already recorded. The camera seamlessly continues with AF tracking. Check out the JPEG movie clips shared in the link for a closer look!

Day 2 of our tour was a major success, with most of our target goals achieved. A highlight was when a typically shy and hyperactive woodpecker approached us almost immediately, right as we spotted our Malayan Laughingthrush. It stayed low and close by for quite a while. Fast forward to Day 3, and the luck continues—another bird just perched right in front of us at eye level, only about 5 meters away.
观鸟之旅的第二天非常圆满,大部分预定目标都已达成。最难忘的是,正当我们观测到马来噪鹛时,一只平时既害羞又活跃的啄木鸟几乎立刻就飞到了我们身边。它在低处的近距离位置停留了很久。今天已经是第三天了,好运仍在继续,刚才又有一只鸟飞到我们面前约5米处,与我们视线齐平地栖息着。

– overall like size and shape Greater flameback in Malaysia. But back is “red” instead

– not as common as Red-backed Flameback

– 与马来西亚的大金背像,就红色背。也不很普通

update 202401

– it is slightly bigger and not so comon compare to the Red-Backed and this is also endemic of Sri Lanka

– 比起红背三趾啄木鸟,较大,不普通。这也是特有种

501. Rufous-necked Wryneck, 红胸蚁䴕, 褐頸蟻鴷, Jynx ruficollis, ムネアカアリスイ

Odd and distinctive member of the woodpecker family. Shows a rufous throat in all plumages, though reduced in juveniles. The underparts vary geographically: they are completely rufous in Ethiopian birds, and the throat is barred in some populations. Flight is undulating, like a typical woodpecker. Found locally in cultivated areas, gardens, woodland, forest edge, and grassland with some trees. Usually in pairs. Call is a loud, ringing series of “kwee” notes. Similar to Eurasian Wryneck, but easily separated by the rufous throat. [Ebird]

一种奇特且独特的啄木鸟科成员。无论处于何种羽色阶段,其喉部始终呈赤褐色,但幼鸟的颜色较淡。其腹部颜色因地理位置而异:埃塞俄比亚的个体腹部完全为赤褐色,而部分种群的喉部带有横斑。飞行方式呈波浪状,与典型的啄木鸟相似。主要栖息于农耕区、花园、林地、森林边缘以及零星分布树木的草原地带,通常成对活动。鸣叫声为一连串响亮清脆的“kwee”音。与欧亚拟啄木鸟相似,但其赤褐色喉部使其易于区分。

update 202502

A very common and tiny woodpecker. It showed up almost immediately on our first day after a long journey. Its rufous neck makes it unmistakable.

一种非常常见且体型娇小的啄木鸟。经过长途旅行后,第一天它几乎立刻出现。它赤褐色的颈部使其极具辨识度。

update 202504

Birding in Yunnan, China last December was incredibly easy. We simply chose a hide, settled in, and waited—and sure enough, the birds came! In fact, there were so many, it was just a matter of picking which ones to photograph. We specifically came to this hide hoping to see the woodpecker, but we were also treated to a few star species like the Great Barbet, Slender-billed Scimitar-Babbler, and more.

去年十二月在中国云南观鸟非常轻松。我们只需要选一个拍鸟棚,坐下来静静等待——果然,鸟儿纷纷出现!鸟的数量之多,让我们只需挑选想拍的目标。我们专程来到这个棚子是为了拍那只啄木鸟,但同时也幸运地见到了几种明星鸟类,比如大拟啄木鸟、剑嘴鹛等。

One of the most common yet stunning birds of Malaysia’s lowland forests. While it’s not frequently seen at RDC, we were lucky to have a few individuals feeding just a few meters away. The lovely female gave us a longer and closer view than the male — a real treat!

这是马来西亚低地雨林中非常常见又美丽的鸟类之一。虽然在RDC并不算常见,但我们很幸运地遇到几只在几米外进食。这只漂亮的雌鸟比雄鸟停留得更久也更靠近,真是一次难得的体验!

a beautiful bird that real shy and not get close to humans….

update 202602

We just arrived at the viewing tower and the bird calls are everywhere! We heard three of them right next to us at the canopy level. We were hoping for a glimpse, and soon enough, both the male and female flew right up to eye level. They stayed close enough for us to get some great pictures.

刚到观景塔,到处都是鸟鸣声!在树冠层,我们听到有三只就在身边。本想碰碰运气看能不能拍到,没过多久,雄鸟和雌鸟就一起飞到了和我们眼睛齐平的高度。它们离得很近,让我们拍到了不少好照片。

update 202509

Sometimes, birding isn’t just about rare birds or perfect photos. A few of us just went out to enjoy the fresh air and see what birds might show up. The whole morning was quiet, but this bird turned out to be the highlight for us.

It didn’t give the best pose, but we still enjoyed a peaceful morning and a delicious lunch!


有时候观鸟并不是为了拍到稀有或完美的照片。我们几个人只是出来呼吸新鲜空气,希望有鸟儿可以拍。整上午都很安静,只有这只鸟算是今天最有趣的收获。

虽然站的位置不太理想,但依然享受了一个轻松的早晨,加上一顿美味的午餐!

update 202507

It was a slow afternoon—so hot even at 5pm that bird activity was low. But this bird quietly approached and surprised us by showing up just 20–30 feet away! Sadly, it wasn’t in the best position for a good photo.

下午天气太热,连5点了都还是很热,鸟类活动不多。突然这只鸟悄悄靠近我们,发现时竟然就在我们20到30英尺外!可惜角度不太好,没能拍到理想照片。

– a big kingfisher which found low dense forest, mangrove etc

update 202410

– a big yellow and “big beak” Kingfisher, it does look slight different from Peninsular Malaysia/Thailand/India 

– 3 years ago, I am testing R3 at Kuala Selangor with this bird flying and managed to have good result. Now, finally the high megapixel R5markii finally also come with good focusing system. The bird dive into pond without any notice and without any fish it flying back to nearby perch. I didnt prepare for any dive shots but managed to get the bird focus almost immediate I point my camera to the bird.

– 蛮大的黄色翡翠。婆罗洲的与西马,泰国的有点不一样。

– 3年前,我在测试佳能R3。同样的遇上这鸟飞过,拍下一系列可以呈现R3的对焦恐怖。今年,佳能吧高像素相机R5markii,提升对焦功能。如果喜欢高像素+对焦。绝对不要错过这一部相机。(可是R1 的到来,才可以对焦知道有多好)

update 202110

– finally managed to have some open space for me to trying out more AF test on BIF. many swifts, raptors and etc flying around but it is at various direction and can be any where. You won’t know where the bird come from but just what flying in your’s view than use the Camera capability to focus and track the bird in various Background (river, sky and forest-green)
– this bird flying from forest crossing the river toward me … very soon I point the setup toward the bird. Focus LOCK and track in very fast response. I will review all the files soon to see how many is tacked and how many lost later (I am not a DPP user it really slow even I want try to crop the picture … need more time to use to the DPP for short while)
– 終於有機會去開闊的地方,試試佳能EOS R3 拍飛版。這個地方,沒喂食,沒定點。鳥會從任何角度飛越。完全可以測試相機的對焦,鎖焦的能力
– 需要些時間看看全部相片。尤其是這鳥的。從飛出到我的方向。應該拍了100-200張。會儘量看多少成功。

update 202412

A quick morning birding session before my trip to Indonesia turned out to be unexpectedly rewarding. Despite a long search for the target bird, which didn’t show up, another bird appeared instead, standing incredibly close to us. To our surprise, it even struck a few poses before flying away. It lingered nearby for quite some time, leaving us with an unforgettable experience.

在前往印度尼西亚旅行之前进行的一次快速清晨观鸟意外地收获满满。尽管长时间寻找目标鸟却未见踪影,另一只鸟却意外出现,离我们非常近。令人惊喜的是,它还摆了几个姿势才飞走。这只鸟在附近停留了相当一段时间,给我们留下了一次难忘的经历。

update 202602

Today is Chinese New Year’s Eve, and there is a beautiful tradition we follow: “Nian Nian You Yu.” In Chinese, the word for “surplus” (余) sounds exactly like “fish” (鱼), so we always look for fish to symbolize having extra savings and abundance for the year ahead.
I spent the day with friends at a famous local spot known for eagle and kingfisher feeding. It wasn’t long before this kingfisher spotted its target and dove straight for the water. What a perfect sight to start the new year! Wishing everyone a prosperous and abundant year ahead.
 
今天是除夕,正所谓“年年有余”。在汉语中,“余”字与“鱼”字同音,寓意着每年都有结余,生活富足。
今天我和朋友们一起来到当地著名的老鹰和翠鸟喂食点。没过多久,就看到这只翠鸟锁定目标,纵身跃入水中捕鱼。在这个时刻拍下这一幕,真是最好的新年兆头。祝愿大家在新的一年里,年年有余,岁岁平安。

20. Common Paradise-Kingfisher, 普通仙翡翠, 普通仙翡翠, Tanysiptera galatea, ラケットカワセミ, Cekakak-pita biasa

– A long-tailed kingfisher of lowland forests. White underparts and rump, dark blue upperparts with pale blue shoulder and crown. Long white tail with 2 extended central tail feathers ending in spatula tips. Sits still for long periods whilst slowly pumping its tail. Very similar to Little Paradise-Kingfisher, but Common Paradise-Kingfisher is larger, with a paler crown, white rather than blue outer tail feathers and a heavier bill. The safest way to separate, however is by vocalization. Heard more often than seen. Song, a rapidly accelerating and slightly rising series of dry notes. [Ebird]

普通仙翡翠(学名:Tanysiptera galatea)是佛法僧目翠鸟科鸟类。成鸟有蓝紫前额,蓝顶蓝枕。分布于太平洋诸岛屿和华莱士区。在一般的低地热带雨林,季风林,从海平面到300米都有分布。甚至在某些产地它们可以达到的高度为820米。完全肉食性的翠鸟,大部分的时间是在地面上寻找食物,用嘴挖掘土壤捕食昆虫,其中包括蜗牛、甲虫、蚱蜢、毛毛虫、蜈蚣、蚯蚓,也吃小型爬行动物蜥蜴等。

普通仙翡翠身长22 cm,雄鸟体重58-65g,雌鸟体重55-69 g。成鸟有蓝紫前额,蓝顶蓝枕。眼先黑色,脸颊和腮部蓝紫色。两侧颈部、肩胛至脑后背部有一蓝黑色半领。小覆羽黑色,中覆羽亮天蓝色。其余的飞翼上方是蓝紫色。尾部形成一个白色环带,中央抽出两根十分细长的绶带,外缘蓝色,末端纯白色膨大成拍状。嘴红色,虹膜深褐色,腿部黄褐色。 [1]幼鸟的头部羽毛深褐色,与黄色的眼先前额接壤,其它地方是红色。眼眉又长又黑。双翼,尾巴均是深褐色。大多数覆羽的内衬明亮的红色。尾巴中央是蓝色,其下浅黄色,有小覆羽羽为黑色,喉咙和胸部边缘有纹。嘴是灰棕色。 [1]

One of the more common yet challenging birds to photograph is the kingfisher. Even though it often appears at feeding spots, we usually don’t have time to focus on it due to our busy shooting schedule. However, our local guide, Pak Wan, mentioned that it’s actually easy to spot near our hotel. So, we decided to spend a quick morning there after breakfast. To our delight, three kingfishers were flying around, and on several occasions, one even perched for us! The excitement of seeing them in flight had everyone in awe. It was absolutely worth it—even if we hadn’t managed a photo. But we did!

这是一种常见却又难以拍摄的鸟类——翠鸟。尽管它经常出现在觅食点,但由于拍摄行程紧凑,我们通常没有太多时间专注于它。不过,当地向导Pak Wan告诉我们,在我们酒店附近其实很容易看到它。于是早餐后我们决定抽空过去看看。让我们惊喜的是,有三只翠鸟在空中飞来飞去,其中几次还停下来给我们拍摄的机会!看到它们在空中飞翔的那一刻,大家都惊叹不已。即使没有拍到照片,也绝对值得——但我们拍到了!

这小翠鸟在巴厘岛几乎蛮普通,可是还是不容易拍。很害羞。

update 202402

– this is a very good example of need more fps .. so not always correct we do not need .. I normally shoot ~15fps in most of the camera by default … when this bird sudden dive in I am too late to change the fps .. and most of the frame without very good “eye contact” or I would say too less frame within the dive action (~7frames)

– 现在相机都说有多快。20,30,40,60,120,240fps .. 蛮多人讲,我们都不需要。。。不是很重要,其实我们大部分时间都不需要。可是有想过吗,有当然比没好啊。当我们需要时却没有,就像我这样。15张一秒,错过蛮多看过来的一幕啊。

– 小,漂亮的翠鸟。这区域的特有种。

update 202512

It’s not a lifer for most of us, as we’ve already seen it on Sumba Island. But this time in Lombok, we were just taking it easy when the ranger mentioned the bird was nearby.

We thought, “Why not?”—and that led to the toughest hike of the trip!
Thankfully, it paid off with a wonderful view of this beautiful Kingfisher.

 
这对我们大多数人来说并不是新鸟,因为我们之前在松巴岛就已经见过了。

不过这次在龙目岛,我们原本很轻松地休息,结果护林员告诉我们这只鸟就在附近,我们就想:“为什么不试试看?”

于是就开始了这趟旅程中最辛苦的一次攀爬!所幸最后有了非常棒的视野,看到这只美丽的翠鸟,值得了。

update 202509

This kingfisher is quite common from Maluku to Papua Island—not a rare bird, but like many kingfishers, it can be shy when approached. Also, it’s not the easiest to photograph, especially with its bright head that’s easy to overexpose.

After our noon break, we explored along the river and were lucky to spot one perched nearby. Even better, it came back again for another look!


这是一种从马鲁古到巴布亚岛都很常见的翠鸟,虽然不稀有,但和很多翠鸟一样,当人靠近时会变得害羞。拍照也不太容易,尤其是它头部颜色鲜艳,很容易过曝。

午休后我们沿着河边继续寻找新鸟种,幸运地看到这只翠鸟停在附近,后来它还飞回来一次,真是太幸运了!

This forest Kingfisher is probably one of the shyest I’ve ever encountered.

I tried photographing it during my last trip here but failed after several attempts. This time, we finally had a clear and prolonged view. Still, the bird remained very shy, making it challenging for everyone to get good shots.

A bit of a shame that some angles didn’t give a clear view, but still a rewarding sighting!


这是一只非常害羞的林翠鸟,可能是我记录过最害羞的翠鸟之一。

上一次来这里时我就尝试拍它,但几次都失败了。这次终于看到它清晰又停留较久的画面。不过它依然很警惕,不是每个人都能拍到好照片。

可惜有些角度看不清,但能再见到它,依然是一段值得的经历!

501. Woodland Kingfisher, 林地翡翠, 林翡翠, Halcyon senegalensis, セネガルショウビン

A medium-sized kingfisher with a distinctive chestnut belly, sapphire blue tail and flight feathers, ashy-gray head and breast, and vermillion bill. Pairs inhabit dry and moist woodland, especially riverine woodland; has been known to breed in riverbanks. It has complex movements and is a migrant in the southern part of its range. Calls a strident trilling “t-t-t-t-t-t-t”, although this can be weaker and less obtrusive than other kingfishers; also calls a repeated, squeaky “tsury, tsury”. [Ebird]

一种中等体型的翠鸟,有着明显的栗色腹部、宝蓝色的尾羽和飞羽、灰色的头部和胸部,以及朱红色的喙。成对栖息在干燥和潮湿的林地,尤其是在河岸林地;已知会在河岸筑巢繁殖。它的活动范围复杂,在其南部地区是迁徙性的。叫声是刺耳的颤音“t-t-t-t-t-t-t”,虽然这种叫声可能比其他翠鸟的叫声更弱、更不引人注意;也会发出重复的、吱吱作响的“tsury, tsury”的叫声。

This is another colorful bird we spotted during our South Africa bird photography trip. We had many great sightings, but this was one of the closest and most perfectly angled shots we captured.

这是我们在南非鸟类摄影之旅中拍摄到的又一种色彩鲜艳的鸟。我们看到了许多精彩的景象,但这是其中一张距离最近、角度最佳的照片。

update 202602

We first saw and photographed this kingfisher at Lake Baringo, but it was either too far or perched on the resort roof—not ideal. Of course, everyone wants a great shot of a kingfisher!

Today, we rushed to Lake Naivasha hoping for a better chance, but under the hot sun, it was still either too far or too high.

Luckily, we spotted some nice birds at the car park before heading for a late lunch. After lunch, I suggested a casual walk by the lake—and to our surprise, the kingfisher was feeding right near where we stayed.

It kept diving for fish—around 10–15 dives, but only caught fish 3 times (maybe not the best fisherman!). Bingo !!! He got the fish !

 

我们第一次在巴林戈湖看到并拍到这只翠鸟,但当时它要么太远,要么停在度假村屋顶上,画面不够理想。毕竟,谁不想拍一张完美的翠鸟照片呢?

今天我们赶到奈瓦沙湖,希望能有更好机会。但在烈日下,它还是太远或太高。

幸运的是,在停车场附近我们看到了一些不错的鸟。午饭后我提议大家去湖边随便走走,没想到这只翠鸟就在我们住的地方附近捕鱼。

它不停地俯冲,大概冲了十几次,只有三次抓到鱼(可能捕鱼技术不太行)。

不过我们总算拍到它靠近栖息的美丽画面了,太开心了!

update 202602

We spent our last morning at the same spot and decided to just have some fun with this lovely kingfisher — lots of laughter and great moments. The whole morning was covered in mist, so quite a bit of post-processing was needed to reduce the noise and haze. The bird dived around five times without any success, but this rather unskilled fisherman still gave us plenty of action and a fun session capturing BIF shots.

我们把最后一个早晨留在同一个地点,决定和这只可爱的翠鸟好好玩一玩,一整早充满了笑声和乐趣。清晨雾气很重,后期需要花不少功夫来降低噪点、去除雾气。它大约俯冲了五次都没有成功,但这位“捕鱼技术不太熟练”的家伙,还是让我们玩得很开心,也拍到了不少精彩的飞版照片。

A short birding trip to northern Thailand turned into a pleasant surprise. After securing our two main targets, we decided to keep birding and see what else we could find. We knew a Crested Kingfisher was around, but the local ranger and guide kept telling us this species is usually only active in the morning.

Still, we decided to try our luck and reached the site at noon. After a few minutes of chatting by the river, a large bird suddenly flew in and perched right in front of us. We all shouted, “Kingfisher!”

The beautiful Crested Kingfisher perched not far away and even fed on a fish, putting on a fantastic show and giving us a great chance for photos. Sadly, I missed the actual fish-catching moment—I couldn’t decide which direction to wait, and just as I was moving, it dived!

一次短暂的泰国北部观鸟之旅,竟带来了惊喜。在顺利找到两大目标鸟种后,我们决定继续尝试看看还能遇到什么鸟。我们知道附近有冠鱼狗,但当地护林员和向导一直告诉我们,这种鸟通常只在早上出现。

尽管如此,我们还是决定中午去碰碰运气。到达河边后,聊了几分钟,突然一只体型很大的鸟飞来,直接停在我们面前。我们立刻喊了出来:“鱼狗!”

这只美丽的冠鱼狗停得并不远,还叼着一条鱼进食,精彩地展示了一番,让我们有很好的拍摄机会。可惜的是,我没拍到它捕鱼的瞬间——正犹豫该等哪个方向时,我一边走,它就突然俯冲下水了!

51. Small Niltava, 小仙鹟, 小仙鶲, Niltava macgrigoriae, チビアオヒタキ

Size distinguishes this species from other niltavas; coloration is quite similar to Large Niltava, which is double the size. Male Small Niltava is bright blue with the brightest patches on the shoulder and forehead. Female is brown with a white eyering and a rufous tail and wingtips. Forages in the lower and middle levels of hilly and montane forests, usually singly. Listen for its distinctive song, a cleanly descending “wee-dee-dee.” [EBird]

体型将该物种与其他仙鹟区分开来;其颜色与大型仙鹟非常相似,但体型只有后者的一半。雄性小仙鹟呈亮蓝色,肩部和前额的亮色斑块最为显眼。雌性则为棕色,具有白色眼圈以及棕红色的尾巴和翼尖。通常单独在丘陵和山地森林的中下层觅食。其独特的鸣声是清晰下滑的“wee-dee-dee”。

update 202412

Another bird we encountered, found only at a single hide despite visiting many others, initially appeared quite shy. However, after a few hours of brief appearances, it gradually became more comfortable and eventually stayed long enough for some great photos.

另一只我们在众多拍摄点中仅在一个鸟点发现的鸟,起初显得相当害羞。然而,经过几个小时的短暂现身后,它逐渐变得放松,最终停留足够长的时间让我们拍下了好照片。

update 202602

It’s a busy start to the year! We kicked things off with a very long drive due to the holiday traffic, followed by a specialized photography tour with two lovely and incredibly patient guests. One of our main targets for this trip was this beauty—it’s a shame they’re still a bit shy this season, but what a wonderful bird to start off 2026.

今年年初非常忙碌。由于长假期间交通拥堵,我们先是经历了一段长时间的旅程,随后便与两位亲切且极具耐心的客人开启了专项寻鸟之旅。这是我们此行的主要目标之一,可惜在这个季节它们还是有些害羞,但能以这么优美的鸟儿开启2026年,真的非常美好。

This was a truly special tour for us, focusing on a very important target species. After two days of only hearing it without any sighting, we finally had an amazing view—right in front of the four of us, and even calling!

Such a memorable family trip—got all three special bird families: Rail-Babbler, Crested Jayshrike, and Bornean Bristlehead, all with photos too!

这是我们非常重要的一次特别行程,目标是非常特别的一种鸟。前两天只能听到声音,完全看不到,终于让我们在四人面前看到它,还在我们面前鸣叫!

update 202503

Just another moment captured with this beautiful yet shy bird. I’m accustomed to situations where people alter the environment—making it brighter and more open—just for the sake of photos, which can affect the bird’s natural behavior. However, that doesn’t diminish my happiness, especially with my birding buddy back in action after finally deciding to get his 400mm F2.8 following a slowdown in birding. Exciting times ahead, as I have more personal birding trips coming up soon!

 

又一次捕捉到这只美丽而害羞的鸟儿。

我已经习惯了有人为了拍照而改变环境——让它更明亮、更开阔——从而影响鸟类的自然行为。

但这并不会影响我的快乐,尤其是我的观鸟伙伴终于决定入手 400mm F2.8 镜头,在观鸟节奏放缓后再次回归。

接下来,我也有更多个人观鸟之旅要开启,令人期待!

After meet Hermina & Shannon, they really keen to see the Rail-babbler… so we make a early move and have a long coffee stop before we go into forest due to some early morning rain. Immediate arrive the area, after got 1 frogmouth calling, and sight the Banded Woodpecker. I heard the Rail-babbler calling, immediate trying to track it down and we spit the bird less than 10 minutes … ring my buddy and hope he is happy man now ..

– 接受了一项几乎是不可能任务,1天时间看白眉长颈鸫。与两名客人交谈后,虽然她们都没来过马来西亚。可是还是觉得要用时间看这目标鸟。一大早下了场小雨,我们吃了进林子。到了没太久,竟然还听到蟆口鸱叫。。。虽然找了一会还是放弃,因为听到白眉长颈鸫叫。找了10多分钟,竟然找到了。。。。。幸运啊

101. Magpie Shrike, 白肩鹊鵙, 白肩長尾鵲伯勞, Lanius melanoleucus, シロクロオナガモズ

A bulky black shrike with scattered white patches on the shoulders and wings and a very long, floppy tail. The sexes have differently colored flanks: females white, males black. Small groups of 3 to 10 sit upright on perches 1 to 5 meters high in grassy open savanna and sparse broadleaf woodland. Perch-and-wait predators, they drop onto insect and small vertebrate prey, and often move locally into recently burned areas to forage. The species gives a shrill starling- or parrot-like “pleeee-eouuu,” often produced by more than one bird at once, and also gives harsh grating cries. [Ebird]

一种体型较大的黑色伯劳鸟,肩部和翅膀上散布着白色斑块,尾巴非常长且松垂。雌雄两性的体侧颜色不同:雌鸟为白色,雄鸟为黑色。它们通常以小群形式活动,数量在3到10只之间,直立栖息在1至5米高的草原开阔稀树草原和稀疏的阔叶林中。作为“伺机捕猎者”,它们从栖息处俯冲捕食昆虫和小型脊椎动物,常迁徙到最近被烧过的地区觅食。这种鸟发出尖锐的声音,类似椋鸟或鹦鹉的“pleeee-eouuu”,通常由多只鸟一起发出,还会发出刺耳的粗嘎声。

update 202501

Fairly common throughout Kruger National Park, this bird is typically seen moving in groups. Its black-and-white plumage and long tail make it unmistakable. I was fortunate to witness a partridge attempting to scare it off and managed to capture a shot of it flying away.

这种鸟在克鲁格国家公园相当常见,通常成群活动。它的黑白羽毛和长尾巴使其极具辨识度。我有幸目睹一只鹧鸪试图将它赶走,并成功拍下了它飞离的瞬间。

51. Sri Lanka Blue-Magpie, 斯里兰卡蓝鹊, 斯里蘭卡藍鵲, Urocissa ornata, セイロンサンジャク

A large, long-tailed blue bird with a white-tipped tail, and chestnut hood and wings. Inhabits humid forest from lowlands to hills, where it often accompanies mixed canopy flocks, either singly or in small groups. There are no other large, long-tailed blue birds in its range. A noisy species. Sounds typically a series of high-pitched, piercing “clink” calls, as well as some rasping “krak” notes often given in a sequence. [Ebird]

151. Sumatran Treepie, 马来树鹊, 蘇門答臘樹鵲, Dendrocitta occipitalis, シラガオナガ

– very common along the Tapan road, but just no luck to have better photo opportunity. Typical treepie call and big-long bird

update 202411

A long brown bird with a metallic-sounding call.

A relatively common Sumatran endemic, but slightly shy when approached for photographs. We were very fortunate to spot it resting and preening while searching for another target.

一只体型较长的棕色鸟,发出金属般的叫声。

一种相对常见的苏门答腊特有鸟类,但在靠近拍摄时显得有些害羞。我们很幸运在寻找其他目标时,发现它正在休息和梳理羽毛。

152. Sulawesi Crow, 苏拉威西乌鸦, 蘇拉威西烏鴉, Corvus celebensis

 

update 202507

This is a very common crow in Sulawesi, recently split from the Slender-billed Crow. With its new status as a separate species and a Sulawesi endemic, I made an extra effort on this trip to get better photos of it.

这是苏拉威西非常常见的一种乌鸦,最近刚从细嘴乌鸦中分出,成为独立物种。由于它现在是苏拉威西的特有种,这次行程我特地花时间拍了更好的照片。

Was this the final bird of our Lombok Bird Photography Tour? Possibly — and what a challenge it was! Extremely shy and not easy to capture on camera.
Still, it remains one of Indonesia’s remarkable country endemics — a true highlight despite the effort!

这是我们龙目岛拍鸟之旅的最后一只鸟吗?也许是!拍摄它真的不容易,非常害羞!
尽管如此,它依然是印度尼西亚非常精彩的特有种之一,值得我们为它付出努力!

101. Ashy Drongo, 灰卷尾, Dicrurus leucophaeus, ハイイロオウチュウ

A slim, medium-sized drongo with bright red eyes and gray plumage that is almost black in the western parts of its range and quite pale in the eastern parts of its range; eastern birds also often have an oval-shaped pale facial patch. It has a long slim tail with a deep fork. Common in wooded habitats where it sallies for insects and aggressively chases other birds that may compete for food or nectar. Most birds migrate south every winter. Similar to Black Drongo, but slimmer and usually in different habitats. Calls include harsh and sweet notes, and can mimic some bird species poorly. [Ebird]

一种体型纤细、中等大小的卷尾鸟,拥有明亮的红眼和灰色羽毛,在其分布范围的西部区域羽毛几乎呈黑色,而在东部区域羽毛较为浅色;东部的鸟类通常还具有一个椭圆形的浅色脸斑。其尾巴修长纤细,呈深深的叉状。这种鸟类常见于有林地的栖息地,会捕食昆虫,并积极驱赶可能与其争夺食物或花蜜的其他鸟类。大多数个体每年冬天都会向南迁徙。与黑卷尾相似,但体型更为纤细,且通常出现在不同的栖息地。叫声包括粗哑和清脆的音调,有时还能模仿其他鸟类的叫声,但模仿能力较差。

update 202412

It is noticeably larger than the Ashy Drongo found in Malaysia. We were fortunate to spot it catching a wasp (recently, I got stung by a wasp in Sumatra—glad this bird took care of one for me… just joking!). This bird is quite common at Baihualing and can be seen from several different hides.

它明显比在马来西亚发现的灰卷尾更大。我们很幸运看到它捕到了一只黄蜂(我最近在苏门答腊被黄蜂蜇了——很高兴这只鸟帮我“报仇”了……开玩笑的!)。这种鸟在百花岭非常常见,可以在几个不同的隐蔽点看到它。
