1. Black Stork, 黑鸛, Ciconia nigra, ナベコウ

2. Red-vented Bulbul, 黑喉红臀鹎, 黑喉紅臀鵯, Pycnonotus cafer, シリアカヒヨドリ

A dark, sleek, medium-sized bird with a black crest and a white rump. The red color under the tail is often difficult to see. Eats fruit, flower buds, and insects. Conspicuous and sometimes gregarious, often seen high in trees or perched on wires in urban and rural areas; generally prefers scrubby edge habitat instead of dense forest. Calls include a variety of chirps and whistles. Native to South and Southeast Asia. Introduced to Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman, and some Polynesian islands, including Hawaii. [Ebird]

It seems this bird is quite common in the region—I may have seen it before in Sri Lanka or somewhere else. Still, it’s great to spot our first bird here after a long journey and a relaxing stay at the homestay in Baihualing, Yunnan, China.

I’ve quickly adapted to the setup (Canon R1), and capturing these in-flight shots felt almost seamless. The bird flew straight toward us, and I managed to get all 19 frames perfectly in focus.

这只鸟似乎在这个地区很常见——我可能之前在斯里兰卡或其他地方见过。不过，在经过长途旅行和在云南百花岭的民宿放松之后，看到我们的第一只鸟还是很令人欣喜。

我很快就适应了设备，拍摄这些飞行中的镜头几乎毫不费力。这只鸟径直朝我们飞来，我成功拍下了所有19张清晰的照片。

3. Great Barbet, 大拟啄木鸟, 大擬啄木, Psilopogon virens, オオゴシキドリ

This largest of the barbets is colorful, but often appears all-dark from a distance. No other barbet in its range combines the features of a massive pale bill, black head, and dark olive back. Sluggish and shy; tends to stick to dense forest canopy, where it is difficult to see. Its loud hooting song (typically a series of two repetitive notes) is often the only indication of this species’s presence. Also gives a harsh, screaming “karrrrr” that has a gull-like quality. [Ebird]

这只最大的拟啄木鸟色彩鲜艳，但从远处看通常呈现出全黑的外观。在其分布范围内，没有其他拟啄木鸟同时具备巨大的浅色喙、黑色头部和深橄榄色背部的特征。行动迟缓且羞怯，倾向于停留在浓密的森林树冠中，难以被发现。它响亮的鸣叫声（通常是两个重复音符组成的一系列声音）往往是表明其存在的唯一线索。同时，它还发出一种粗厉、尖锐的“karrrrr”叫声，带有类似海鸥的音质。

update 202412

I’ve seen this bird many times in various places but never had the chance to capture a photo—until now. Here, we finally had numerous opportunities to take some great shots.

Seeing the photo afterward was a completely different kind of excitement, as the vibrant colors that define the bird truly stood out. Simply incredible!

我曾在许多地方见过这只鸟，但一直没有机会拍照。直到现在，这里终于给了我们很多机会，拍到了几张很棒的照片。

回头看照片时，那种兴奋感完全不同，鸟儿的鲜艳色彩展现得淋漓尽致，简直太棒了！

#####

4. Cachar Wedge-billed Babbler, 楔嘴鹩鹛, 紋胸楔嘴鷯鶥, Stachyris roberti, チャイロキリハシチメドリ

A gregarious babbler with a dark back and underparts spangled with scaly silver markings. At first glance, may resemble a cupwing, but this babbler is much larger and longer-tailed, and does not stick as closely to the ground as cupwings do. Often moves deep in dense shrubbery, but will occasionally forage in the middle layers of the forest as well, scaling trees and creeping along branches. [Ebird]

One of the stunning babblers has such flat body feather details that it almost resembles a drawing.

一种群居的鸟，背部和腹部呈深色，并点缀着鳞状银色斑纹。乍一看，它可能与短翅鸫相似，但这只画眉鸟体型更大，尾巴更长，而且不像短翅鸫那样紧贴地面活动。通常在茂密的灌木丛深处活动，但偶尔也会在森林的中层觅食，攀爬树木，沿着树枝移动。[Ebird]

其中一只鸟的羽毛细节看起来如此平滑，几乎像一幅画。

update 202412

An 8-day journey to Yunnan, particularly to this bird photography paradise, is almost at its end. As expected, capturing great photos of many species was as simple as sitting and waiting. However, a bit of luck was still needed. According to local, the number of bird species visiting has decreased, and with more hides available, the birds may now spread out instead of gathering in the usual spots. Regardless, we thoroughly enjoyed our authentic photography experience here.

Although the trip isn’t over yet, this moment stands out as one of my favorites. The bird was incredibly active, appearing for just a split second with an almost surreal “flat” look to its body—like a 2D drawing. But with patience, it rewarded us with some fantastic views as the day drew to a close.

为期八天的云南之旅，尤其是在这个鸟类摄影天堂，已接近尾声。正如预期的那样，只需静静地坐着等待，就能轻松拍到许多鸟类的精彩照片。不过，运气也不可或缺。据当地人介绍，前来的鸟种数量有所减少，而且随着隐蔽观测点的增多，鸟类可能会分散到不同的藏身处，而不再像以前那样集中。但无论如何，我们都非常享受这次真实而纯粹的摄影之旅。

虽然旅程尚未结束，但这绝对是我此次旅行中最喜欢的瞬间之一。这只鸟非常活跃，刚出现时仅一瞬间，身体看上去几乎是平面的，就像一幅2D画作。然而，在耐心等待之后，它在接近一天结束时，终于给了我们许多精彩的展示。

5. Slaty-bellied Tesia, 金冠地莺, 金冠地鶯, Tesia olivea, クロハラコビトサザイ

Update 202412

This tiny bird moves swiftly through the bushes, making it incredible that we managed to spot it.

It’s a bird everyone on this trip has been eager to photograph. Yesterday, only Amy and I were lucky enough to capture it, while others could only catch a glimpse without getting any photos. However, luck was on our side today! Two different Tesias came close to us within just 15 minutes, giving everyone the chance they had been hoping for. Tonight, we can all sleep soundly, content with the experience.

这只小鸟在灌木丛中快速穿梭，真是令人惊叹，我们竟然能发现它。

这是本次旅程中每个人都渴望拍摄的一只鸟。昨天只有我和另一位女士（Amy）幸运地拍到了它，其他人只能匆匆一瞥，却没能拍下照片。然而，今天幸运降临了！两只不同的地莺在15分钟内先后靠近我们，让大家终于得偿所愿。今晚，我们都可以心满意足地安然入睡了。

6. Yellow-bellied Fairy-Fantail, 黄腹扇尾鹟, 黃腹扇尾鶲, Chelidorhynx hypoxanthus, キバラオウギビタキ

An active little bird with a bright yellow belly and a pale-tipped fan-like tail. Most common in foothill and submontane broadleaf forests, where it forages energetically and acrobatically in the middle and lower levels, often with fulvettas, warblers, and other small passerines in mixed-species foraging flocks. Very similar in shape to fantails but much smaller, and actually more closely related to tits. Song is a series of high “tsit” notes interspersed with twitters and trills. Call is often repeated at length, akin to a song, but much simpler, a series of high “tsip” notes. [Ebird]

update 202412

One of the most active birds, behaving much like a fantail. While it’s not a lifer for me—I previously recorded it in Northern Thailand—it’s still a challenge to spot here in Yunnan, China. Thankfully, luck was on our side, and we managed to witness it spreading its tail, giving us a few great moments for some good photo opportunities.

这是一只非常活跃的小鸟，行为举止有点像扇尾鹟。虽然对我来说不算新记录（之前在泰国北部拍摄过），但在中国云南也并不容易拍到。不过幸运的是，我们得以目睹它展开尾羽的瞬间还给了我们一些宝贵的拍摄机会。

7. Bianchi’s Warbler, 比氏鹟莺, 比氏鶲鶯, Phylloscopus valentini, インドシナモリムシクイ

One of a number of mind-numbingly similar Seicercus warblers. Greenish-yellow above and bright yellow below, with a faint wingbar, a yellow eyering, and a grayish crown marked by two black stripes. Gray of the crown is weaker than that of White-spectacled and Plain-tailed Warblers, but this feature is difficult to see in the shade of the understory, where it usually forages. Breeds in submontane and montane forest up to the treeline; averages higher Martens’s Warbler. Descends into submontane and hill forest in the non-breeding season. Song is an unremarkable but lively burst of whistled notes, lower in pitch than that of Plain-tailed Warbler. [Ebird]

一种看起来极为相似的冠鹛类鸟（Seicercus）。上体呈绿色偏黄，下体明黄色，带有一条淡淡的翼斑、黄色的眼圈以及灰色的头顶，头顶上还有两条黑色条纹。头顶的灰色比白眶鹛（White-spectacled Warbler）和单尾鹛（Plain-tailed Warbler）更弱，但在其常活动的林下阴影处，这一特征难以看清。繁殖季节栖息于亚山地和山地森林中，分布高度可达森林界限；平均分布高度比马氏鹛（Martens’s Warbler）更高。非繁殖季节会下迁至亚山地和丘陵森林。鸣声是轻快的、普通的哨音片段，音高低于单尾鹛的鸣声。

update 202412

A tiny warbler with a sudden flash of “yellowish” plumage appeared, and I immediately thought, “It’s a new bird!” Naturally, everyone quickly grabbed their cameras to capture it. It only showed up briefly while we were casually waiting for birds to come to the water.

一只小小的、突然出现的“泛黄色”的鹛类鸟，让我立刻想到：“新鸟！”于是大家赶紧举起相机拍摄。这只鸟只出现了一会儿，当时我们其实只是在随意等候鸟类来饮水。

#####

8. 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。

9. Scarlet Finch, 血雀, Carpodacus sipahi, シュイロマシコ

update 202412

We chose this hide specifically for this bird and spotted it early in the morning. Afterward, we decided to move to another hide. The male arrived briefly before leaving, but luck was on our side as we caught the moment.

我们特意选择了这个鸟塘点来寻找这只鸟，并很快就看到了它。随后，我们决定换到另一个鸟塘。雄鸟很快到达又离开，但幸运的是，我们抓住了这个瞬间。

One of the standout birds at Baihualing, Yunnan, China is often seen as a highlight by both locals and visitors. Whenever someone spots or photographs one, it becomes big news in the village, quickly drawing bird enthusiasts and photographers to the area. This one shows up unexpectedly, as it did this time to take a drink, it captivates everyone around. It is a beautiful bird, with the female being particularly striking.

在中国云南百花岭，这种突出的鸟类常常被认为是当地居民和游客的亮点之一。每当有人发现或者拍摄到它时，就会在村里引起轰动，很快吸引大量鸟类爱好者和摄影爱好者前来。这次它出乎意料地出现，来喝水，吸引了周围所有人的目光。这是一种美丽的鸟，雌鸟尤其引人注目。

10. Chestnut-headed Tesia, 栗头地莺, 栗頭地鶯, Cettia castaneocoronata, クリガシラコビトサザイ

update 202412

This is a fairly common bird in the area, but it moves too quickly to capture good shots. It often hides in dark and damp spots, making it a wonderfully active but elusive subject.

这是一种在这里相当常见的鸟，但它动作太快，很难拍到好照片。它经常躲在阴暗潮湿的地方，是一只活泼而难以捉摸的鸟。

11. Himalayan Shortwing, 喜山短翅鸫, 喜山短翅鶇, Brachypteryx cruralis, ヒマラヤコバネヒタキ

Tiny, stumpy bird of dense undergrowth. Male is dark slate-blue with broad white eyebrows that give him the appearance of a furious little old man. Female is warm pale brown all over. In areas of overlap with Chinese and Lesser Shortwings, look out for the all-dark lower belly, which is white in those species. Inhabits hill and montane forest, where it forages in dense undergrowth, frequently in proximity to streams. Song is composed of high thin whistles with short bursts of clicking chattering mixed in.

矮小、圆胖的小鸟，常见于茂密的林下灌丛。雄鸟为深蓝灰色，带有宽阔的白色眉线，使其看起来像一位愤怒的小老头。雌鸟则呈温暖的浅棕色。在与中华短翅和小短翅分布重叠的地区，可以通过其全黑的下腹部（而其他两种为白色）进行区分。栖息于丘陵和山地森林中，常在密集的灌丛中觅食，通常靠近溪流。鸣声由高音的细哨音组成，并混有短促的点击和叽喳声。

update 202412

While everyone was focused on a few main target birds, one of our buddies, who could be considered a new birder, suddenly shouted, “Shortwing!” He was so proud of himself for identifying a bird on his own. Honestly, I think he should be even happier if he managed to spot a rare bird feeding instead!

当大家都专注于几种主要目标鸟时，我们的一位朋友（可以算是新手观鸟者）突然大喊：“短翅鸫！” 他为自己能独立认出一只鸟感到非常自豪。老实说，我觉得如果他发现+认出鸟种，他应该会比在喂食店拍到稀有鸟种更加高兴！

12. Collared Scops-Owl, 领角鸮, 領角鴞, Otus lettia, ヒガシオオコノハズク

Medium-sized owl with significant variation in plumage and vocalizations across its large range. Either gray or brown in coloration, with prominent pale ear tufts and pale face outlined in black. Fond of open wooded habitats from lowlands to foothills, often found roosting in temples, houses, and gardens, particularly in rural areas. Larger and more strongly tufted than both Oriental and Mountain Scops-Owls; both also lack the black facial border. Listen for this species’ incisive, short hoots, given at well-spaced intervals (often around 10 seconds). [Ebird]

中型猫头鹰，其羽毛和叫声因广泛分布范围而显著变化。体色为灰色或棕色，头部有明显的浅色耳簇和黑色勾勒的浅色面盘。喜欢开阔的林地栖息地，从低地到丘陵都有分布，常见于庙宇、民居和乡村花园中栖息。与东方领角鸮和高山领角鸮相比，此种猫头鹰体型更大，耳簇更为显著，并具有独特的黑色面盘边缘。其叫声为短促而清晰的鸣叫，间隔较长（通常约10秒一次）。

update 202412

It is quite a common bird, even in Malaysia. It was previously classified as the Sunda Scops-Owl but is now considered part of the Collared Scops-Owl. We often had one just outside our room, almost every day.

There is always debate about using torches or flashlights on birds, with no clear consensus on whether it is right or wrong for nature. However, there are certain actions we should never take or support, such as keeping them in cages or tying them up. It’s disheartening to know that many people still do such things, often just for the sake of a photograph.

它是一种相当常见的鸟类，即使在马来西亚也能见到。之前被归类为巽他领角鸮，现在被认为是领角鸮的一部分。我们几乎每天都能在房间外看到它。

关于是否可以用手电筒或闪光灯照射鸟类，总是存在争论，且很难得出明确的对错结论。然而，有些事情是我们绝对不应该做或参与的，例如将它们关在笼子里或绑起来。令人难过的是，很多人为了拍一张照片，仍然在做这样的事情。

13. White-gorgeted Flycatcher, 白喉姬鹟, 白喉姬鶲, Anthipes monileger, ノドジロヒタキ

Tiny brown flycatcher with a triangular white bib bordered with black. Gray head, frosty white brow, and ruddy wings and tail are not as eye-catching as the throat patch, but just as distinctive. Unobtrusive and retiring, generally keeping to the dense lower levels of foothill forests. Frequently forages in inaccessible gorges and thick streamside vegetation. Usually seen singly, occasionally in pairs. [Ebird]

小型棕色鹟类，喉部有一个三角形的白色领结，周围勾勒着黑色边缘。灰色的头部、霜白色的眉纹以及红棕色的翅膀和尾巴虽然不如喉部斑块引人注目，但同样具有辨识度。性格低调且隐秘，通常活动于丘陵森林的浓密下层。经常在难以接近的峡谷和茂密的溪流旁植被中觅食。通常单独活动，偶尔成对出现。

update 202412

The last lifer of the tour was an adorable flycatcher, easily recognizable by the distinct triangular white patch on its neck.

此次行程中的最后一只新物种是一只可爱的鹟类，它颈部显眼的三角形白斑格外醒目。

14. Rufous-throated Partridge, 红喉山鹧鸪, 紅喉山鷓鴣, Arborophila rufogularis, ノドアカミヤマテッケイ

A beautiful little gamebird of foothill and highland forests with extensive ground-level cover, where it moves about in medium-sized convoys through the dense undergrowth. Usually quiet, though sings melodically and loudly at dusk and dawn. Brightly-colored, even for a partridge; both sexes have a bright orange throat, a bluish-gray chest, and orange-and-white spotting on the sides [Ebird]

一种美丽的小型‘鸡“，生活在有着茂密地面植被的山麓和高地森林中，常成中等规模的小群体在浓密的灌丛中活动。通常较安静，但在黄昏和黎明时会发出悦耳而洪亮的歌声。相对于其他鹧鸪，这种鸟颜色

update 202412

At almost every hide we visited, the owners assured us that this bird is always around. However, we didn’t spot it at any of those hides, except on day one when it briefly walked past. Hopefully, everyone on our team managed to capture a photo of this beautiful partridge.

几乎每个我们去的鸟塘，主人都会告诉我们这只鸟总是在这里。然而，除了第一天它匆匆走过外，我们在其他任何地方都没有看到它。希望我们团队的每个人都能拍到这只美丽鹧鸪的照片。

15. Gray Bushchat, 灰林䳭, 灰叢鴝, Saxicola ferreus, ヤマザキヒタキ

Small songbird of forest edges, open scrub, and farmland, usually seen in pairs or small flocks. Male is silvery gray overall with black face and white supercilium, throat, belly, and wing patches. Female dull brown overall, with a rufous tail and faded version of the male’s head pattern. Bold but not very active, usually seen perching for long periods on posts and overhead wires. Song is bright and melodious, but often has a somewhat faltering quality, trailing off towards the end. Most common call is a harsh rising “bzeeet!”. [EBird]

小型鸣禽，栖息于森林边缘、灌丛及农田，通常成对或小群活动。雄鸟全身呈银灰色，具黑色脸部及白色眉纹、喉部、腹部和翼斑。雌鸟整体为暗褐色，尾部呈红褐色，头部花纹为雄鸟的淡化版。性格大胆但不太活跃，常长时间栖息于柱子和电线之上。鸣声明亮悦耳，但常带有些许不连贯感，结尾逐渐消失。最常见的叫声是一声粗哑上扬的“bzeeet！”。

update 202412

During one of the quieter moments while waiting for a Scarlet Finch, a female caught my attention. As it flew around, I decided to enable Continuous Pre-record mode, just in case. Suddenly, it spread its wings, and I seized the perfect moment to press the shutter after see the action, capturing this stunning shot.

在等待血雀的一段安静时光中，一只雌鸟吸引了我的注意力。当它在周围飞舞时，我决定启用连续预录模式以防万一。突然，它张开翅膀，我看到这一瞬间立刻按下快门，捕捉到了这张精彩的照片。

16. Scaly-breasted Cupwing, 鳞胸鹪鹛, 大鱗胸鷦鶥, Pnoepyga albiventer, ヒメサザイチメドリ

Adorable tiny bird that loosely resembles a minute tailless wren. Warm dark brown above with rufous overtones, and scaled below; pale-morph birds have white edgings to black “scales,” while dark-morph birds have edgings that are coffee-stain tan. Smaller Pygmy Cupwing lacks the tan spots speckling the crown and neck of Scaly-breasted. Scaly-breasted inhabits dark, damp areas in dense forest, often around boulders, streams, and ravines. Song is a jumbled series of high-pitched melodic warbles, notably more complex than the song of Pygmy Cupwing. [Ebird]

可爱的小鸟，外形有点像一只没有尾巴的微型鹪鹩。上体为暖棕色，带有红褐色调，下体有鳞状纹；浅色型鸟黑色“鳞片”边缘为白色，而深色型鸟则为咖啡色边缘。与小棕林鸲相比，鳞胸棕林鸲的头顶和颈部缺乏棕色斑点。鳞胸棕林鸲栖息于浓密森林中阴暗潮湿的区域，通常出现在巨石、溪流和峡谷附近。鸣唱是一连串高音调的悦耳啁啾，比小鹪鹛的鸣声更复杂。

update 202412

On our last day in Baihualing, we spotted two distinctly different tiny, tailless birds. At a distance of about 10-15 meters, I initially assumed they were the same Pygmy Cupwing. However, upon reviewing the captured photos, it was clear they were different species.

Knowing their behavior of spreading their wings when moving, I enabled Continuous Pre-record mode and pressed the shutter the moment the bird moved. Got it!

在白花岭的最后一天，我们发现了两只明显不同的小型无尾鸟。由于距离大约在10-15米，我起初以为它们是同一种小鳞胸鹪鹛。然而，当查看拍摄的照片时，发现它们明显是不同的物种。

了解到它们在移动时会张开翅膀的行为特点，我启用了连续预录模式，并在鸟儿移动的瞬间按下快门。抓拍成功！

17. Blue-throated Barbet, 蓝喉拟啄木鸟, 藍喉擬啄木, Psilopogon asiaticus, アオノドゴシキドリ

A common inhabitant of lowland and foothill tropical forests, where it sings brightly but often unseen from the canopy; listen for its repeated 3- or 4-syllabled ‘took-o-rrook!’ Tends to be more common in edge areas and degraded forests than other barbets. Bright green with a blue throat, a red-and-yellow crown, and a heavy, pale-based bill. Birds at the northern and western parts of this species’ range have a black brow, while southern birds don’t. [Ebird]

一种常见于低地和丘陵热带森林的鸟类，常躲在树冠中鸣唱，声音清亮但不易被看到；它的叫声为重复的三到四音节“took-o-rrook!”。与其他拟啄木鸟相比，它更常出现在林缘地区和退化森林中。羽毛鲜绿色，喉部为蓝色，头顶有红黄相间的斑块，喙粗壮且基部呈浅色。在分布范围的北部和西部，这种鸟有黑色的眉纹，而南部的鸟则没有。

update 202412

A vibrant bird with a predominantly blue head, commonly found in BaiHuaLing, Yunnan, China. Its calls are nearly constant throughout the area, and it occasionally comes down to forage for food and water.

一种色彩鲜艳的鸟，头部以蓝色为主，在中国云南百花岭蛮普通。它的叫声在该地区几乎不间断，并且偶尔会下来觅食和喝水。

18. Slender-billed Scimitar-Babbler, 剑嘴鹛, 細嘴鉤嘴鶥, Pomatorhinus superciliaris, ハシナガチメドリ

Possibly the species to which the moniker of “scimitar-babbler” attaches most fittingly, as this inhabitant of high-altitude evergreen forests has a bill shaped like a curved sword. Predominantly orange-brown, with a gray head and jagged white eyebrow. Easily identified, even if seen only in silhouette; no other babbler in its range has such a long, sharply curved bill. Moves through the lower levels of the forest in large, noisy flocks. [ebird]

这可能是最符合“弯嘴鹛”这个名字的物种，因为它栖息于高海拔常绿林中，嘴巴形状像一把弯曲的剑。主要为橙棕色，头部呈灰色，眉线为锯齿状的白色。即使只看到剪影也很容易辨认；在其分布范围内，没有其他鹛类具有如此又长又弯的喙。通常以大型嘈杂的群体活动于森林的下层。

update 202412

This bird has an oddly thin and curved beak, giving it a truly unique appearance. Though active, it’s not hard to spot here. At many bird hides, it readily comes out to grab food before retreating, making it relatively easy to see and photograph.

这只鸟有着奇特的纤细弯曲喙，外形非常独特。虽然活跃，但在这里并不难见到。在许多观鸟点，它会很容易地出来抓食然后离开，因此相对容易观察和拍摄。

19. Yellow-cheeked Tit, 黄颊山雀, 黃頰山雀, Machlolophus spilonotus, セボシカンムリガラ

update 202412

One of the most captivating birds of Baihualing, Yunnan, with its vibrant and striking colors, complemented by a charming crest, is both active and beautiful.

这只来自云南百花岭的鸟，拥有鲜艳夺目的色彩和迷人的冠羽，既活跃又美丽，十分迷人。

Is a long journey from Malaysia – Sulawesi – Jayapura (~26 hours without a bed, too much coffee and waiting) …for the day1 when we arrive, we give Magnificent Riflebird a try but failed to have any photo .. but the bird was well seen above our “hide”

Day2 – Nimbokrang

We start our drive, walk ~430am, 15 min drive and ~20min walk … the first Bird-of-paradise is waiting for us .. before we walk into our “hide”. The bird keeps calling, trying to attract female … but seem it is not attractive enough. only one female comes close and fast. The male trying to “show off” with some action but the female flew off just immediate it trying to show his “dance”

I am mostly recording video, so this picture I share is a Jpeg extract from Canon Digital Photo Professional software …

1. Twelve-wired Bird-of-Paradise, 十二线极乐鸟, 十二線極樂鳥, Seleucidis melanoleucus, ジュウニセンフウチョウ, Cendrawasih Mati-kawat

非常漂亮的天堂鳥。

BoP #2 which is my target #1 for this tour, was just about 20min walking after Twelve-wired Bird-of-Paradise, but this is so much smaller, higher & active makes only a very limited angle to get the full view. I am lucky to have this just ~5min wait.

3. Lesser Bird-of-paradise, 小极乐鸟, 小天堂鳥, Paradisaea minor, コフウチョウ, Cendrawasih Kecil

– The only BoP we didn’t see much and dancing .. just hear most of the time … the location we wait seem not the really correct location for “dancing” … but it did flying across and let us record

4. Pale-billed Sicklebill, 淡嘴镰嘴风鸟, 白嘴鐮嘴天堂鳥, Drepanornis bruijnii, シロカマハシフウチョウ, Paruh-sabit paruh-putih

– 攝於伊里安查亚

After 5 days of “enjoy”, reasonable food, easy walk (flat), air-cond room, not far from airport and bird spots .. we finally move to 2nd destination Arfak Mountain..

After got the information before, we get ready with some extra food … sleeping beg, insect repellent, etc .. just before we going into a “no Phone” (only a particular spot can get a phone signal which is a bit distance from our “homestay”. After ~2 hours of offroad travel, we arrive at our homestay a little bit late and with rain .. so we call this a day and enjoy our cold stay

Here, we need to split into a few groups to decide on different BoP hide due to limited “hole” for photography …

Day1 at Arfak Mountain

5. Western Parotia, 阿法六线风鸟, 阿法六線風鳥, Parotia sefilata, カンザシフウチョウ, Parotia Arfak

– lucky to have this amazing, lovely bird for bird #1 .. we walk a very steep hike ~45-60 degree uphill for ~500m … we saw the bird-eating, calling for the whole morning but just not dancing … at ~9 am, we almost give up … the female came to the dancing group, followed by the male than the moment begin …

update 202105

– a big overall blackbird, with a colorful throat depends on the angle and also have a Blue eye

– the male famous with ballerina dance displaying to attract female

Female is nondescript, with a grayish head, white throat, olive upperparts, and yellowish underparts over much of range. In the south Moluccas and Aru islands, underparts are grayish. Juvenile resembles female, but yellower on throat. Inhabits forest edge, open forest, gardens, and scrub in lowlands and hills. Male can be separated from dark-bellied forms of male Olive-backed Sunbird by glossy, iridescent crown and black back. Females differ from Olive-backed Sunbird by absence of eyebrow, absence of white tail tip, white throat, grayish head, and duller yellow underparts. Females lack eye-ring, unlike larger female Brown-throated Sunbird, and are less uniform underneath than female Elegant Sunbird. [EBird]

Singles, pairs, and small groups inhabit the upper levels of forests and forest edges, mostly in the hills and mountains, less often lower down.

Song starts with “tzeet-tzeet” phrases, then descends into a rapid warble.

Found in lowland and hill forest, in areas near beaches or areas with volcanic sands in which they lay their eggs. Immatures show a blacker head with a white throat and a tufted crest. Occurs in pairs that forage on the ground and roost in trees by night. Often best seen at known egg-laying sites, either during laying sessions, or roosting in trees nearby. Generally silent, but occasionally gives a loud, bubbling “waow.” [Ebird]

update 202310

– another main target for a short Photography tour, not really a difficult bird to be seen but it stay far from the hide and very alert with sounds. But there are few individual come to the ranger area which gave some close pictures.

A reddish-brown cuckoo with a long, often shaggy-looking tail. Juvenile shows a pale eye and a paler breast and throat than adults. The species favors vine tangles within forest and forest edge in lowlands and foothills, where it is usually encountered singly or in pairs. The entirely brown body, lacking black, separates this species from Lesser Coucal. Song is a series of “hoot” notes that often encourages other nearby coucals to respond. Alarm call is a harsh, short rasping “burr.” [ebird]

– as other coucal, shy, moving in bushes … very coucal call alike

– 有如其他鸦鹃，害羞，喜欢活动在草丛里。

update 202311

它是苏拉威西岛常见的特有物种，你一定不会错过那只活跃在花丛间觅食的鲜红色鸟儿。

我马上要前往苏拉威西，希望未来能更多次造访这座美丽的岛屿！

Gruidae series | 鹤科 | liewwk Nature – 2 [update 20250121]

no crane in Malaysia , so everytime we birding at North. Crane sure our first target to be seen ..

1. Black-necked Crane, 黑颈鹤, 黑頸鶴, Grus nigricollis, オグロヅル

2. Gray Crowned-Crane, 灰冕鹤, 灰冠鶴, Balearica regulorum, ホオジロカンムリヅル

#####

1. Black-necked Crane, 黑颈鹤, 黑頸鶴, Grus nigricollis, オグロヅル

– not a lifer , saw it at Qinghai 2016 but without any long len ..

finally see it clear and photograph well this time at Shangri-la

2. Gray Crowned-Crane, 灰冕鹤, 灰冠鶴, Balearica regulorum, ホオジロカンムリヅル

update 202501

This bird is incredibly beautiful, and while we may have seen it before in a zoo or bird park, spotting it in the wild and capturing its photo brings an entirely different level of excitement. Though it’s considered a common species, we only managed to see it 3-4 times during our 18 days of birding in South Africa.

这是一种非常美丽的鸟，尽管我们可能在动物园或鸟园里见过，但在野外看到并拍下它的照片，带来的兴奋感完全不同。虽然它被认为是常见的物种，但在我们南非18天的观鸟过程中，也只见到了3-4次。

An unmistakable, large ground bird. The unmistakable iridescent blue male spreads out its ornamental upper tail feathers when courting females. Females have a shorter tail, an iridescent green neck, and browner plumage. Found in forest, forest edge, and agricultural land. Often seen on paths or alertly feeding in the undergrowth.

– 我们以为可以在喂食点看到，可是等了一个早上都没声音。我们没等，在上山路中听到也蛮容易找到（有神器嘛）。还有这是个好教材，我的CANON R3, 为了快速拍到懂得鸟通常都是开全福/中部区域对焦（鸟眼）可是在这种情况是应该很难找到的（有时也可以）。可是我选了其中一个钮，放了5点对焦（鸟眼）。通常找不到后，我很快用这个对焦钮碰鸟的任何一个部位。立刻就可以找到鸟眼了。。真的很好用！

A large brown francolin with a red face and streaked chest, commonly found in the lowlands of South Africa, particularly in Kruger National Park. It is abundant, tame, and often seen walking around or heard calling.

一种体型较大的褐色鹧鸪，面部呈红色，胸部有条纹，常见于南非低地，特别是克鲁格国家公园。它数量众多，性情驯服，经常能看到它们四处走动或听到它们的叫声。

update 202501

A very common francolin in Kruger National Park, we encountered it daily inside the park. It was generally very tame. Once, we saw one trying to display to impress a female, but the female seemed uninterested and ran away. After taking countless photos, we decided to capture it flying across the road — with the CANON R1, it was an effortless shot.

这种鹧鸪在克鲁格国家公园非常常见，我们每天都能在公园里看到它们，整体来说性情非常温顺。有一次，我们看到一只雄鸟试图展示自己来吸引雌鸟，但雌鸟似乎没兴趣，反而跑开了。在拍了无数张照片后，我们决定捕捉它飞越马路的瞬间——用佳能R1拍摄，这样的瞬间简直轻而易举。

302. Cape Spurfowl, 南非鹧鸪, 南非鷓鴣, Pternistis capensis, ケープキジシャコ

A large, mostly dark brown francolin with pale feather-edging that forms a fine scaly pattern on the body. It also has dull red legs and a mostly reddish bill with a dark top and yellow base. The pale eyebrow and throat are emphasized on a dark face. The juvenile is duller. The loud, territorial crowing call (“kak-kaak, kak-keek, kak-keek”) is given from a low perch; it increases in pitch but decreases in volume. Bold and confiding, it is widespread and common in its range; found in fynbos, semi-arid zones, and coastal scrub. Gray-winged Francolin differs by having yellow legs, a rufous-streaked chest, and a gray-and-brown necklacing pattern. [Ebird]

一种体型较大的鹧鸪，主要为深棕色，羽缘呈淡色，形成精细的鳞状花纹。它的腿为暗红色，喙大部分呈红色，喙顶较深，基部为黄色。浅色的眉纹和喉部在深色的脸上尤为显眼。幼鸟颜色较为暗淡。其响亮的领地鸣叫声（“kak-kaak, kak-keek, kak-keek”）通常从低处发出，音调逐渐升高，但音量减弱。性格大胆且亲近人类，在分布范围内广泛且常见，栖息于芬博斯植被区、半干旱地带和沿海灌丛。灰翅鹧鸪与其不同之处在于其黄色的腿、胸部带有赤褐色条纹，以及灰色与棕色交错的颈部花纹。

update

This species is very common around Cape Town—we easily spotted it along the roadside on our way to the hills and inside the Botanical Garden. It’s incredibly tame, showing no concern for humans. Its feather pattern is simply stunning, making it look truly beautiful.

这种鸟在开普敦附近非常常见，我们在前往山丘和植物园的路上就轻松看到了它。它非常驯服，完全不怕人。羽毛的纹理极其精美，使它看起来格外美丽。

update 202412

After returning from Lombok, Ramesh was eager to tick off the long-awaited Large Wren-Babbler from his list. So, we decided to visit Lanchang, Pahang. We spent about an hour on one trail, where we only heard the bird’s call but were entertained by a few other birds. Opting to change locations, we entered another trail, and before long, the bird started calling again. With some patience and a bit of luck, the Large Wren-Babbler emerged, calling for several minutes. What a lucky encounter!

从龙目岛回来后，Ramesh迫不及待想观察期待已久的大鹪鹩鹛。于是，我们决定前往彭亨州的兰昌。我们在一条小径上花了大约一个小时，只听到了这只鸟的叫声，不过也有几只其他的鸟让我们欣慰。随后我们决定换个地方。没过多久，当我们进入另一条小径时，这只鸟又开始鸣叫了。凭借耐心和一些运气，大鹪鹩鹛终于现身，并鸣叫了好几分钟。真是幸运的一次邂逅！

2. 我的照片，我拍的90%照片都是与带客人时拍的。70%是观鸟，我要先让客人们看到或给他们最好角度。。。。yes yes 后才可以再找角度拍。所以照片都不锐，角度不好。。。哈哈，下次不要投诉啦。。你试试就知道，我的照片都得来不易的。拿着单筒+脚架，背相机一天不行10000-20000步。来个个赞吧。。。还有，通常看到后我们就不会再找这鸟+多看。我也不会有多时间拍。

always one of my favorite bird to be seen or photograph. This is one I seldom meet at Malaysia but it is pretty common at Sumatra, Indonesia

这是一种我在马来西亚很少见到的鸟，但在印度尼西亚的苏门答腊挺常见的。”

#####

update 202411

– A tiny and very shy bird that is difficult to get a good view of or photograph. Based on my sightings across Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, and Sumatra, both Sumatra and Borneo offer slightly better chances of seeing this bird clearly. However, Sumatra seems to be the best place for capturing good photos. Without a doubt, the bird stayed long enough for me—even allowing me to record a video!

– 一只体型小且非常害羞的鸟，很难清晰观察或拍摄。根据我在马来西亚半岛、婆罗洲和苏门答腊的观察记录，婆罗洲和苏门答腊的鸟更容易清晰看到。然而，苏门答腊似乎是拍摄好照片的最佳地点。毫无疑问，这只鸟停留了足够长的时间让我拍摄，甚至还让我录了视频！

#####

– It’s one of those tiny, mysterious birds that appears briefly and disappears just as quickly. Rare and shy, it’s often challenging to get a clear view. I photographed this bird in Sumatra last year, and this year, with the Photography group, we put in extra effort for a better shot. Finally, we were rewarded with some truly amazing moments with this elusive bird…

– 这是一种小而神秘的鸟，总是匆匆出现又迅速消失。它稀有且害羞，很难清晰地观察到。去年我在苏门答腊拍摄到了这只鸟，而今年，我和摄影小组一起更加努力，希望能拍到更好的照片。最终，我们得到了与这只难得一见的鸟相遇的美好瞬间。
