– 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。

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。

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）是佛法僧目翠鸟科的鸟类。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]

1.Black-crowned Night-Heron, 夜鹭,夜鷺,Nycticorax nycticorax, PUCUNG-KUAK BIASA

– 46-60 cm

– common, widespread, like to roosting big group in same area

Adults have a black crown and back with the remainder of the body white or grey, red eyes, and short yellow legs. They have pale grey wings and white under parts. Two or three long white plumes, erected in greeting and courtship displays, extend from the back of the head. The sexes are similar in appearance although the males are slightly larger. Black-crowned night herons do not fit the typical body form of the heron family. They are relatively stocky with shorter bills, legs, and necks than their more familiar cousins, the egrets and “day” herons. Their resting posture is normally somewhat hunched but when hunting they extend their necks and look more like other wading birds.

Immature birds have dull grey-brown plumage on their heads, wings, and backs, with numerous pale spots. Their underparts are paler and streaked with brown. The young birds have orange eyes and duller yellowish-green legs. They are very noisy birds in their nesting colonies, with calls that are commonly transcribed as quok or woc.
