The barred eagle-owl (Bubo sumatranus), also called the Malay eagle-owl, is a species of eagle owl in the family Strigidae.

update 202602

We were just out for a casual walk when we heard a strange alert sound coming from the birds. It turned out to be some birds trying mobbing to this tiny owl! It perched quite low and stayed remarkably close while we were heading to lunch. Even though we weren’t specifically looking for owls today, who could possibly resist such a cute little thing?
 
我们正在闲逛时,突然听到鸟类发出一种奇怪的警报声。原来是在追赶这只小猫头鹰!就在我们准备去吃午饭前,它落在离我们很近的低处,完全不怕人。虽然今天并没打算去看鸟,但面对这么软萌可爱的小家伙,谁能不心动呢?

update 202510

We spent around 30 minutes listening to the Red-throated Barbet calling, but couldn’t get a clear view. Luckily, a few other species came in close, including this tiny and adorable owl!

Sometimes, there’s too much info on social media—but here’s my experience: I used the Canon R5 Mark II with full-area AF and animal eye detection. The owl was about 30 meters away, and paired with the RF 100-500mm, it locked onto the eye perfectly without hesitation. Highly recommend trying it out yourself!


我们等了大约30分钟,一直听到丽色拟鴷在叫,但始终没有清晰的视野。不过,其他一些鸟儿飞了过来,包括这只可爱又迷你的小猫头鹰!

有时候,社交媒体上的信息太多了,反而容易迷茫。但这里是我实际的经验:我使用的是 Canon R5 Mark II,相机设置为全区域自动对焦+动物眼睛识别。这只猫头鹰大约在30米远的地方,用 RF100-500mm 拍摄,相机毫无犹豫就锁定了眼睛对焦。推荐大家亲自试试!

After returning from Sumatra, Indonesia, some of us extended our trip by two days to Fraser’s Hill, Malaysia. As anticipated, the rainy season brought limited activity. However, this tiny owl made our day by perching very low, just about 10 feet away—our first sighting of it!

从印度尼西亚苏门答腊回来后,我们中的一些人延长了两天行程,前往马来西亚的福雷泽山。正如预期的那样,这个季节雨水不断,活动不多。然而,这只小猫头鹰飞得很低,距离我们仅约10英尺,成功点亮了我们的一天。这是我们第一次目睹它!

Predominantly found in lowland forest, though also ventures into lower foothills. (ebird)

– rare bird for Malaysia

– A very large, grayish-brown owl with yellow eyes and distinctive ears. Note the fine barring and dark streaks on the pale underparts, and white patches on the shoulders.

Update 202504

It was a dramatic day — we missed our target in the morning and were caught in heavy rain by noon. Fortunately, the evening brought reasonably good birding. The next morning, however, turned out to be truly special. We had a great encounter with this bird as it flew back to its roosting site, and we managed to capture the moment perfectly without any issues.

这真是戏剧性的一天——早上我们错过了目标,中午又遇上了大雨。幸运的是,傍晚的观鸟情况还算不错。然而,第二天早上却格外特别。我们与这只鸟有了一次美妙的邂逅,当它飞回栖息地时,我们顺利地捕捉到了这一精彩瞬间。

202504, Selangor, Malaysia

 

#####

It was another fantastic experience to see this bird again—even if just once—as it flew straight toward us. Not a particularly tough challenge for me with the R1: 98 frames in about 3 seconds, all perfectly in focus

再次见到这只鸟,哪怕只有一次,也是一次非常精彩的经历——它径直朝我们飞来。对我来说,这对 R1 来说并不算什么难题:大约 3 秒内拍了 98 张照片,全部对焦准确。

 

 

 

#####

update 202410

– a not so common owl found Malaysia. Big size and with very vocal if found the correct one.

– I am making some nearby forest for trying the new CANON R1 to trying for AF lock on, AF tracking, Image Quality, Pre-capture … and trying again the in camera upscale. Found this bird roost at one of the Palm Oil plantation before strong sunlight come in, the bird sudden flying out to its’ roosting side.the R1 as expected captured most of the frame without any issue even with background change.

– 一直马来西亚不很容易见到的大鸮。通常叫的很厉害。

– 这个月,开始要测试佳能的新相机(R1)上个月已测试了工程机。(其实没太多问题除了开不到RAW档)。其实,不知道还需要测试什么。R3的对焦对我来讲已几乎没错过任何的雨林情况。可是,还是抱有蛮多希望增强一些我真的需要的。对焦,追焦,画质 应该大致都是很好。我对“预拍”(这个应该是佳能的卖点),只要控制缓冲好。这个预拍是一只都预拍,不像其他牌子。用了后,都要等上好几秒。在到达第一个点,找到这鸟在黑暗处站。等到光线好点时,拍下蛮多照片。可是这鸟突然飞出来,一直到远处(去睡觉了)。真如我的想法一样,这种情况。没错过任何一刻。

update 202209

– a good practice of my guests, we leave them alone after short time of photograph session. They say “don’t disturb them too long” ! and they are photographers .

– 一个月内2个地方见到4只(遇到6只,2只听到看到很远)。这4只一直在叫,可能在争区域。

– 2位摄影客人,只是拍了几分钟就要离开了。他们讲不要打扰太久。

– small and common 

– brown and big yellow eye

– Brown hawk-like owl with large, unsettling yellow eyes. Note solid brown back, patchily brown-spotted white breast, and the pale triangle above the bill. Adaptable, found in a wide range of forested habitats from primary rainforest to orchards and gardens. Most active at night and dusk; often hunts from an exposed perch.

Mostly brown with scattered white and pale markings on wings, sparsely streaked underparts, and a clear “double” facial disk with both blackish and white borders. Found in various forests and plantations in the lowlands and foothills. Distinctive: the only small owl on Lombok, and the only owl there with ear tufts. Gives a single note song, “woot,” ascending slightly at the end [Ebird]

一种小型棕色猫头鹰,头部有羽毛形成的耳簇,眼睛为黄色,仅分布于龙目岛。主要为棕色,翅膀上散布着白色和浅色斑纹,下体有稀疏的条纹,面盘清晰,呈“双层”结构,边缘为黑色和白色相间。在低地和丘陵地区的各种森林和种植园中都能找到这种猫头鹰。特征鲜明:是龙目岛上唯一的小型猫头鹰,也是岛上唯一有耳簇的猫头鹰。其鸣叫声为单音“woot”,尾音略微上扬。

– very recent discover bird of Sri Lanka

Very small rufescent owl, with yellow-orange eyes, and sparse, light speckles on the underparts. Although does not possess true ear tufts it can show “false” ones when alert. Occurs within extensive humid rainforests in the lowlands of Wet Zone of Sri Lanka. Roosts singly or in pairs in the understory, but also found in upper levels of trees at night. Combination of small size, all rufous color, lack of prominent facial border, and only limited markings below separates it from all other owls on Sri Lanka. Song is a short “woOLoo”, rising in the middle. [Ebird]

– 被发现少于20年的斯里兰卡特有种。

201. 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。

update 202601

This was one of my main targets for our Kenya birding trip, and I’m so glad we got it—our very first owl of the trip! As expected, it was sleeping during the day. Of course, we all wished for a shot with its eyes open or in a better pose, but I’m happy we chose not to disturb it just for a photo. Big thanks to my amazing team—you all are awesome!

这是我这次肯尼亚观鸟行程的主要目标之一,很开心我们顺利拍到我们此行的第一只猫头鹰!白天它当然是在睡觉,我们也希望能拍到睁眼或更好姿势的照片,但我更高兴我们没有为了拍照去打扰它。
感谢我的团队——你们真的太棒了!

201. Indian Pitta, 印度八色鸫, 印度藍翅八色鳥, Pitta brachyura, インドヤイロチョウ

A colorful stubby-tailed bird, also known as “Navrang,” translated as “nine colors.” Colors are most striking when the bird is in flight. This bird has long, strong legs and a stout bill, a buffy crown with a black stripe in the middle, a black eye-stripe, and and buffy underparts with bright red on the vent. Upperparts are green, with a blue shoulder patch. It is usually seen foraging on forest floors with thick undergrowth, catching insects in leaf litter. This bird is vocal, giving its characteristic two-noted whistle call at dusk and dawn. [Ebird]

update 202602

Starting the new year with a plan to revisit a wonderful destination. Sri Lanka’s birding is truly world-class. Looking back at my last visit, this bird was a constant companion; we heard it everywhere, and it was remarkably easy to photograph.
新年新计划,我将再次踏上前往斯里兰卡的旅程。那里的观鸟体验非常棒。回想起上次旅行,这种鸟的身影无处不在,歌声随处可闻,拍摄过程也非常轻松。

update 202404

– it is quite common to see this pitta almost any where in center

– 在斯里兰卡中部,还是蛮普通的。

update 202312

– another common bird here, it is 99.99% bird for almost all local guide. We saw 5-6 birds just birding without looking for it.

– least easier Pitta so far

– 另一只在斯里兰卡非常普通的鸟,我们没特别的找这鸟。可是都遇上好几只。

– 暂时最容易八色鸫。

update 202308

– same month again, the bird active late, 3 weeks ago when I am there no bird call or sight. But yesterday, it is so active to gave us everyone very good view. and I only have this angle view after first found it and brought all other guests over to have this bird. last bird of the group..

– 同一个月,可是好像有点迟。3个星期前完全还是没什么声音。昨天非常活跃,让我们全部团员看/拍个够。我没什么照片,找到,确定可以。拍下这一幕,就跑去拉其他团员来看拍。20+天团最后一只鸟。

202308, Danum Valley, Sabah, Malaysia

update 202208

– Danum Valley still a best place to see this bird, and found this “tame” bird last few hours before we leaving to other destination. But it still give us good look.

– a shy and big bird

– at this situation between tree, branch, the CANON R7 easily lock the bird eye … soon we will forgot whats is “focus points”

– 丹绒谷还是看这鸟最好的地方。在我们离开前2个小时才找到这只蛮乖的。可是它还是让我们看的蛮久的。

– 在这样的情况,树中间,鸟前有阻碍。佳能R7轻松的自己找到鸟眼。我其实就按快门而已。

– very shy pitta which sight montane area

update 202311

– after spent 5 days in lowland forest without ours’ target, decided to spend last day in other kind of forest to have some new tick for customer. Never prepare anything, no worm just go to the “feeding spot” and wait. This bird appear and stand for long for us .. so this consider “feeding” ? (for me yes as without the feeding activities the bird wont be there for us)

– this Pitta would be mist difficult Pitta for myself, exclude the feeding spot picture or sighting. I have only 2 open 1-2s moment to have pictures and total <30s view over the years .. who have non feeding picture ? I know my best buddy and I spent our days and weeks …

– 在森林5天没看到目标鸟,客人还是觉得用最后一天到不一样海拔的森林看看一些新鸟种。我们决定到福隆港,到这“喂食点”我们没准备什么“虫” 就在哪等,这鸟也傻傻的出来让我们看/拍。很多人可能觉得,我都美喂。这不是喂食的哦。对我来讲还是喂的吧,人家不喂。这鸟不会傻傻来这里啦。

– 这八色鸫算是马来西亚最难拍的八色鸫吧。野拍/看,我也只有1-2秒时间看到全开拍照的一刻。看到这鸟也不会超过30秒(过去15年)。可是这鸟让我想起我最要好的朋友。。。。。。

update 202510

The special target tour has finally come to an end. Unfortunately, for the first time ever, we missed 2 out of our 3 main targets — a tough pill to swallow. It’s my first time missing them during this special tour. But on the brighter side, we still did very well with many other species, including this beautiful pitta that gave us a great view and photo opportunity.

这次的特别目标鸟之旅终于结束了。可惜的是,这是我第一次错过了三大目标鸟中的两种,对我来说也是第一次错过它们,确实有点遗憾。但整体来说我们还是收获满满,看到许多其他精彩的鸟种,包括这只漂亮的八色鸫,给了我们绝佳的观赏和拍摄机会。

update 202506

Such an exciting moment—first, we heard its call nearby, then spotted it quietly resting high up in a tree. It didn’t take long before we all got a great view. Moments like this are what make birding so much fun!

多么令人兴奋的时刻——我们先是在附近听到了它的叫声,然后发现它静静地停在高高的树上休息。没过多久,我们就都看清楚了它的身影。像这样的瞬间,正是观鸟的乐趣所在!

202506, Kinabatangan River, Sabah, Malaysia

update 202404

– another bird which can be very easy at certain period but very difficult even have a look at wrong season. But again it is much easier to have a look at feeding spot. Thanks some effort of the birder for keep the good place allow many other photograph this bird as not everyone has so much time (come at right time) for non feeding …

– 另一只鸟,在对的时间蛮容易拍到。可是错时间事,看都很难。感谢一些鸟人执著,搞了一些“喂食点”才让很多人看到这么漂亮的八色鸫。虽然自己叫喜欢拍野拍可是不是每个人有这么多时间+能耐。

This bird is truly a stunner to observe and photograph. It brings back memories of years ago when we trekked just a bit further to capture this same Pitta species with the whole crew. There is nothing like enjoying nature and birding with great friends.

这只鸟无论观赏还是拍摄都非常漂亮。我不禁想起多年前和朋友们为了拍摄同一种类的八色鸫而多走了一段路的情景。能和志同道合的朋友一起享受大自然、一起拍鸟,真的很有趣。

– look alike blue-winged pitta with very similar call

update 202602

During this season, this bird is surprisingly quiet. It hardly calls at all—just appears silently, perching nearby, preening and resting with very little movement. A calm and peaceful presence in the field.

在这个季节,这只鸟似乎不太爱鸣叫。几乎听不到它的叫声,只是静静地出现,停在附近梳理羽毛、休息,动作也不多。给人一种安静而平和的感觉。

A stunning Pitta that many have started to take for granted. Because it’s a common sight every season and easy to capture on camera, its beauty is often ignored. But like clockwork, it returns to the same spot every year, waiting for us.

一只令人惊叹的八色鸫,却常被人们视为理所当然。正因为它每季都如约而至,且拍摄方便,大家反而忽略了它的魅力。然而,它每年依然会回到同一个地方,等待着我们再次发现它的身影。

This is a stunning female!

Always a pleasure catching up with one of the best birders/guides I know—Matthew and Hoi Ling! He made a short visit and requested a few lifers, so we left KL at 2:30am and headed to Merapoh. Despite the morning rain, we managed to tick off two lifers soon after arrival. Once the rain stopped, we got lucky again with this special lifer—it showed up twice (I missed the first photo opportunity)! Such a stunning Pitta, and a great moment getting both Garnet and this species away from the usual “stage”.

很开心再次见到我认识的顶级观HK鸟人兼导游——Matthew 和HL!他这次短暂来访,希望看到一些新种鸟。我们凌晨2:30从吉隆坡出发前往美罗坡,虽然一早下雨,但刚到就顺利记录到两种新鸟。雨停后又遇到这只特别的新种,它出现了两次(第一次我错过拍照),太幸运了!这只八色鸫真的很美,也很难得在自然环境中看到它,不是在“舞台”上展示。

One of the most beautiful pittas in Borneo—not rare, but often shy and habitat-specific. We were lucky to enjoy a wonderful encounter with this species at Danum Valley. It might even be the least pitta I see this year (2025)!

这是婆罗洲最美丽的八色鸫之一,虽然不算稀有,但性格害羞,而且对栖息地有特定要求。我们在丹浓谷幸运地与它有一次美好的邂逅。或许也是我在2025年看到的最少的一只八色鸫了!

– a revisit a same place after 10 years +, the bird still same spot but now handling and feed by local Photographer Subki & Ambo. Make chance to have picture of this beauty of Borneo much easier compare those day… It is quite challenge too, you need patient to sit and wait ….

– 旧地从游,10年前在同一个点。同一鸟种在这没这么容易拍到,现在有当地的“鸟导”帮忙喂食。所以要拍到这只婆罗洲的特有种,已不太难了。这么漂亮的还是值得去看看。

update 202301

– 2022 is not a pitta year for me. Didn’t have special Pitta tour, and too busy for own photography for Pitta. But this is definitely Pitta I shoot most of 2022. last session of 2022, very dark, handheld, with R7 and RF100500.

– for year 2022, I really feel there are few good options for birder or Bird guide photography setup. for good weight, size, AF and Image quality.

– look at the image quality for this very lowlight condition picture.

– 2022 绝对不是八色鸫年。没八色鸫团,也没很多时间去找八色鸫。可是这只鸟绝对是2022 拍最多的一只八色鸫。

– 2022 出来了很多很适合观鸟人/鸟导用的摄影设备.都很轻,小,对焦,好画质。我选了佳能R7, RF100500. 我是绝对爱上这。

Another rewarding visit to Danum Valley! As usual during this season, this beautiful pitta showed well — just about 50 meters from the lodge lobby. It stood in the open and called for a while, giving us a great view to start our day!

It’s a great way to start the month with two sightings of this stunning Borneo endemic Pitta. It wasn’t far, but I stuck with my 500mm lens, avoiding getting closer to disturb it before others had their chance to capture it. Such incredible colors!

这个月以两次目睹这只美丽的婆罗洲特有八色鸫开头,真是太棒了。它并不算太远,但我只用500mm镜头拍摄,而没有靠近打扰它,让其他人先拍到。色彩真是惊艳!

update 202402

– it is not a new site for this feeding station, 12-13 years ago I got my Blue-headed Pitta similar site and it is not feeding .. the bird just there and it was very fun trip with few good buddies .. Andy Pau, Jasnnie, Ah Lee, Shunfa .. this time we went for feed !!! but the bird came while we arrive and came infornt of me ~4-5feet away without food or hide !!! But after wait for 3 hours .. it came with a chick few times but not the male .. it is a tough time spent with almost 8 hours for Blue-Banded and 3 hours for no male … but this female really beautiful and I think I never got any good picture of female of this bird

– 这个点我在12-13年前就来过与好几位好朋友来拍一样的鸟。当时是没喂食的,就在哪等。鸟自己来跳来跳去。那是的感觉与现在的“等”鸟真的很不一样。可是话说这鸟是喂食的,可是在我们到达时这鸟自己跳来5-6尺前。。。我们没帐篷,虫。虽然很容易拿下,可是还是没等到公鸟。对着斗湖的八色鸫有点恐惧感。。。蓝斑等了~8小时没等到,这鸟也等了3小时没公鸟。可是对我自己来说还是不错,我应该没拍过漂亮的母鸟。

update 202602

It is always the most rewarding and enjoyable experience to see a Pitta without using feeding. During our last visit to Halmahera, we were told that one Pitta was active in the area, even though it was not being fed. Still, everyone was excited to give it a try. The rule was simple: stay completely still, photograph only what appears in front of you, and make no movement or sound. After nearly two hours of patience, everyone was rewarded with great views and satisfying photos of this non-fed Pitta. Many thanks to my team for always placing their trust in me.

在不投喂的情况下看到 八色鸫,总是最有成就感、也最有乐趣的体验。上一次在哈马黑拉(Halmahera)的行程中,我们得知有一只 Pitta 活动频繁,但并没有被投喂。尽管如此,大家还是非常期待尝试。我们的规则很简单:保持静止,只拍摄出现在眼前的画面,不做任何动作,也不发出声音。经过将近两个小时的耐心等待,所有人都成功看清了这只未投喂的 八色鸫,也拍到了满意的照片。感谢我的团队一直以来对我的信任。

54. Ivory-breasted Pitta, 白胸八色鸫, 牙白胸八色鳥, Pitta maxima

A distinctive large, plump, short-tailed, long-legged forest bird with a black upperside and white underside, a striking red area on the lower belly, and a conspicuous silvery-blue shoulder patch. Juvenile duller, with buff on underparts. Shy, more often heard than seen. Usually found singly or in pairs in humid lowland and hill forest. Forages on the ground, but while calling often perches high in the understory or canopy. Very vocal; frequently given song is a mournful wolf whistle. [Ebird]

– 非常大的八色鸫。背部全黑。前部白+红。很特别。在这岛上,几乎那都听到这鸟的叫声。

 

update 202310

– arrived Halmahera, before anything go for this main target … due to long travel everyone seem tired but luckily the bird appear not that long compare to other waiting 😀 and it is huge in size, some with 800mm little bit suffer to take whole bird into frame

– 到达哈马黑拉岛,第一件事就是到这个点拿下目标鸟之一。其实有2个机会可是鸟人心情。还是越快拿下越好。可是因为长途跋涉,每个人都很累。还好比起其他八色鸫,这只让我们等了大概1++小时还好吧。喂食点,走到这也不难。

202310, Halmahera, Indonesia

update 202304

– post this before I get busy months again. This is one of the most amazing experience on this trip. When day 1 arrived with heavy rain, after rain stop we did quick birding surrounding our homestay. when we walk near the river, owner say why not we go for quick try on the Pitta and keep mentioned “if the bird is nearby or little bit distance he can do pick-up service” !! (I am thinking pick-up service hmmm). But the bird came without long wait or any issue. (so we missed the pick-up service show)

– next day after Standardwing BOP, we walk back to homestay and pass by the Pitta spot. We would like to try for this pitta again for male. After long wait (~15minutes) , he say the bird is far lets’ him pick-up the pitta .. I was like hmm how ? But he walk into the bush and use whistler/call. After ~10minutes wait, we heard the bird call getting nearer and soon we saw him walking out from the bush. and you can see the Pitta is following him coming out from the bush (may be ~10-15m away) !!!!!! “pick up service”

– 觉得需要把这先写下,这是我在这11天团里觉得最不值得分享经验之一。(或在这一生中也蛮特别)。我们经过一天的飞机-车-八色鸫-船-车-大雨 的折磨。终于到了民宿。雨停后我们也不闲的去看鸟,当然我是唯一带相机的我就拍拍记录照给大家。走走的到了河边,民宿主人问我们要试试八色鸫吗?我们觉得时间不多了,怕不出来浪费时间。可是他说,不怕鸟不在。“我可以去接它过来” !!!心想什么鬼,接!!!可是我们到后八色鸫一下就出来让我们看的兴奋了。(主要目标之一达标)

第二天一早我们先去看/拍幡羽极乐鸟。容易地拿下后。大家也想回去八色鸫的点看有运气看到巨大的公鸟吗。可是这次等了15分钟等候完全没声音,”他“就说没问题。我去接它过来!(心想又夸口)。他走了近草丛,大概10分钟后我们听到八色鸫叫了。然后他从草丛里走了出来,然后最不可思议的事。八色鸫在跟随他(大概10-15米)后跳了出来 !!!我们都讲,这样都可以? 我终于知道人-鸟是一起这样的。”接送服务“

a very similar to Borneo Black-headed Pitta and Garnet pitta call and similar look. But it is an endemic to Sumatra island

– 与婆罗洲的黑头八色鸫,西马的榴红八色鸫非常像。叫声也很像。

update 202411

– this year seem not much luck on this bird, not that many sighting compare to last year and each sight very short time for picture opportunity. Luckily that still managed to have few click before it disappear.

– while we looking for the Ground-cuckoo, that area actually plenty of this Pitta. We saw one just 3-5feet from us stand there and cannot take any picture and this bird same just came to us and look at us .. beautiful moment even not a good picture compare to previous feeding station picture but it is a different satisfaction to find one wild..

– 我们在找地鹃时,那个点蛮多这鸟的。我们最近的一只竟然跳到我们3-5尺前看着我们,对焦都不行。这一只在第2天我们也在找地鹃时,他自己跳出来看我们。野拍的,我们会比较记住那一这么美好的一刻。

– 昨天在等鸟时,见到这鸟。可是竟然站离我们~5尺,绝对没机会对焦。今天就打算去“喂食点”看看。可是竟然遇到2个地方塌方,我们就选择走走看鸟+去这个点。走了8公里,在等水泡咖啡。鸟就到了。拿下咯

update 202401

– one of the main target, but know it is “feeding spot” it make we not worry of this bird to be photograph. after first night failed of owling, everyone seem tired next day and choose to go the “station”. When we arrive just after <30minute drive from ours hotel and walk less than 5 minutes, the local who manage the “hide” say bird already seen so immediate everyone getting ready the “big lens and camera”. without long wait we have very good view and picture but very quick one than stay near bush for quite some time before 2nd appearance and after 2nd round it stay nearby and I got this picture which I think I prefer this instead perfect view 😀

– another Indonesia endemic

– 我们这一摄影团主要目标之一,可是我们知道有喂食。所以没太大担心。第一晚的没鸮晚上,我们第二天就选了容易+高兴的“檀”

当我们到达时,很快檀主说鸟在了。我们很快准备好,没很久。站在客人最喜欢的,绿青苔石头+背景。可是就那一刻,等了蛮久第2轮出来就在地上跳来跳去。吃完后就到后面站了一会让我拍下这一刻(我本身较喜欢的)

57. Schneider’s Pitta, 施氏八色鸫, 許尼氏八色鳥, Hydrornis schneideri, キタスマトラヤイロチョウ

Large-headed and long-legged, this rare and rotund Sumatran endemic is found only in foothill forests between 900 to 2400 meters (typically in the upper half), where it is most easily detected by its strange song, a spaceship-like “oowOOOOwooWOOH.” Male has a sky-blue back and incomplete black collar, while the female has a dull brownish back and a dull blue tail. [EBird]

update 202411

– One of our main targets for this trip, but it didn’t show up at the “feeding spot.” After waiting at two locations, it suddenly appeared not far away. Everyone quickly grabbed their gear, and although it remained tame, it never came to the feeding spot. Still, we were thrilled to see the female, especially since we missed it last year—though this year, we missed the male!

– 这是我们此行的主要目标之一,但它似乎没有出现在“喂食点”。在两个地点等待后,它突然出现在不远处。大家立刻拿起装备,虽然它依然很驯服,但并没有来到喂食点。不过,我们还是很高兴看到了雌鸟,尤其是去年错过了它——不过今年却错过了雄鸟!

Mount Kerinci, Sumatra, Indonesia

 

58. Ornate Pitta, 丽色八色鸫, 麗色八色鸫, Pitta concinna, インドネシアノドグロヤイロチョウ

A typical pitta: plump, short-tailed, long-legged, and primarily terrestrial (sometimes perches up to call). Bright green above with electric blue shoulder patch and rump and black head with conspicuous pale brow. Underside golden-buff with black and bright red on the belly. Juvenile duller, with little blue in wing, an orange-tipped bill, and a pinkish belly. Resident in woodland, forest, scrub, and plantations in the lowlands and hills of the Lesser Sundas, from Lombok east to Alor. Formerly regarded as a subspecies of Elegant Pitta, to which it is very similar; Ornate averages more extensively black on the throat and lower belly, and has a fairly evenly divided rufous-and-white “eyebrow.” Also note Ornate’s whistled two-note call [Ebird]

典型的八色鸫:体型圆胖,尾巴短,腿长,主要在地面活动(有时会飞到高处鸣叫)。身体上部鲜绿色,肩部和尾部有亮蓝色斑块,头部黑色,带有醒目的浅色眉纹。下体为金黄褐色,腹部带有黑色和鲜红色。幼鸟的颜色较暗淡,翅膀上的蓝色较少,喙尖呈橙色,腹部略带粉红色。

分布于小巽他群岛的低地和丘陵地区,包括林地、森林、灌丛和种植园,从龙目岛向东延伸至阿洛尔岛。过去被认为是优雅八色鸫的一个亚种,与其非常相似;但装饰八色鸫喉部和腹部下方的黑色范围更广,且眉纹为较均匀分布的红褐色和白色。此外,装饰八色鸫的鸣叫声为清晰的两声式哨音。

update 202512

After successfully getting all our target birds, we took it easy and birded along the main forest road. Suddenly, 3–4 of these Pittas started calling nearby, and one of them came as close as 10 feet from me!

 

This individual even stood out in the open for 2–3 minutes, giving us a fantastic natural encounter—not at a feeding station, but in the wild. A very different kind of excitement.

Hope everyone enjoyed this Lombok bird photography trip. And Imran—see you next time!

在顺利记录到所有目标鸟种后,我们便轻松地沿着森林主路边赏鸟。突然有三四只八色鸫在附近鸣叫,其中一只甚至走到离我不到3米的地方!

这只还在空地上停留了2–3分钟,给了我们一次非常自然、非喂食环境下的精彩邂逅,别有一番乐趣。

 

#####

Finally had the chance to revisit this spot again. As usual, the Pitta was quite tame but didn’t make it easy for everyone to get a good shot. Still, I was lucky enough to get a satisfying photo.

Despite the light drizzle, we managed to photograph two of our main targets during this one evening session.

Such a lovely Pitta!

终于再次重访这个地方。像往常一样,这只八色鸫虽然不怕人,但并没有很好地配合大多数人拍照。不过我这次运气不错,拍到了自己满意的一张。

尽管傍晚有些毛毛细雨,我们还是顺利拍到了这次摄影行程的两个主要目标鸟种。

可爱的八色鸫,太棒了!

A special arrangement was made with Ramesh for a relaxing birding trip focused on collecting a few endemic species. As usual, pittas, owls, and woodpeckers were our primary targets. Upon arriving at the airport, we had a ~1.5-hour drive followed by a short walk to the feeding spot. After less than 15 minutes of waiting, the bird showed up beautifully, allowing for this “pre-poo” moment to be captured perfectly.

与Ramesh进行了特别安排,来了一次轻松的观鸟之旅,主要目标是收集几种特有物种。和往常一样,八色鸫、猫头鹰和啄木鸟是我们的重点目标。抵达机场后,经过大约1.5小时的陆路旅行,再步行一小段路就到了投喂点。等待不到15分钟,这只鸟便美丽地现身,成功捕捉到了这个“大便”的精彩时刻。

This was another tricky bird to get! We spent two hours on the first afternoon, and only I managed to get a partial shot of the head and body. The next day trying for Papuan Pitta was another tough one—again, I was the only one who got a photo. On our final evening, Ahmad suggested trying a new bird hide. (bird not come for feed) —just walked and flew around. But in the end, everyone finally got a look at this Papua endemic!

这又是一种很难拍到的鸟!第一天下午我们花了两个小时,只有我拍到了一部分头和身体。第二天去找巴布亚八色鸫又失败了,还是只有我有照片。最后一天傍晚,Ahmad 建议我们去一个新鸟点(不是喂食点),只是在周围走来飞去。幸运的是,最后大家终于都看到并拍到了这只巴布亚特有种!

61. Papuan Pitta, 巴布亞八色鸫, 巴布亞八色鳥, Erythropitta macklotii, パプアヤイロチョウ

update 20508

This bird showed up a few times throughout our West Papua trip and became one of our frequently seen species. Unfortunately, only I managed to get some record shots—others only saw it walk past! It actually paused in this spot for around 4 seconds, but due to the bird hide’s viewing angle, not everyone could get a photo.

这只鸟在我们这次西巴布亚的行程中出现了好几次,算是常见鸟种之一。可惜只有我拍到几张记录照,其他人只是看到它走过去!其实它在这个位置停了大约4秒,但因为鸟屋的角度问题,不是每个人都能拍到。

update 202511

This Indonesia bird photography trip was a last-minute decision, but it turned out to be quite a successful one. One of our target birds showed up early, and I managed to capture this shot using Canon R1 at ISO16000—surprisingly good results despite the low light!

这次印尼的拍鸟之旅是临时决定的,但结果非常成功。这只目标鸟很早就出现了,我用 Canon R1 在 ISO16000 拍下了这张照片——即使在低光环境下,效果也相当不错!

Thailand

101. Blue Pitta, 蓝八色鸫, 藍八色鶇, Hydrornis cyaneus, ルリヤイロチョウ

Only the male of this rotund ground-dweller is truly blue; the female only has a hint of blue on the rump and tail. Male is brilliant and eye-catching if seen well: sky-blue on the back with a polka-dotted light blue breast and belly. Female has gray-brown wings and finely barred white underparts. Both sexes boast a pale face and a thin black eyebrow, above which flames a lava-red crown (darker in males than in females) (Ebird)

体长约24厘米,体重109克左右。体型圆胖,尾短,腿长。羽色鲜艳,头顶两侧橘黄色的宽带延伸至颈背,宽宽的过眼纹黑色,脸颊皮黄,髭纹黑,尾亮蓝色。雌鸟较雄鸟色暗,但下体的白色仍清楚可见。

102. Blue-naped Pitta, 蓝枕八色鸫, 藍枕八色鳥, Hydrornis nipalensis, アオエリヤイロチョウ

update 202601

It was a very short trip to Northern Thailand, but this bird was extremely active.

I was lucky to see both the male and female at very close range, right next to the hide owner’s house.

The blue on the nape looks so different—bright, vivid, and incredibly attractive.

An amazing bird.

这次只是一次很短的泰国北部行程,但这只鸟非常活跃。

很幸运能在很近的距离同时看到雄鸟和雌鸟,就在拍摄棚主人的房子旁边。

后颈上的“蓝色”看起来非常不一样,鲜艳又吸引人。

真是一只令人惊艳的鸟。

update 202509

######

This is one of the best spots to photograph this beautiful Borneo endemic—it comes close and low if we stay calm and respectful. We had a great session earlier, but my guest wanted to try again, maybe from a different angle.

When we returned, another group with a tour leader arrived after spotting the bird. Unfortunately, they stood way too close—just 1–2 meters from the fruiting tree where the bird was feeding. Isn’t it basic birding etiquette to give the bird space if we want better views and photos?

Anyway, we were already happy with our previous shots. After the group left, the bird came close again, almost like saying goodbye—what a lovely way to end the tour.

这是拍摄这只婆罗洲特有鸟类的最佳地点之一,只要我们安静守规矩,它就会靠近并降到较低的位置。我们第一次就有很好的拍摄机会,但客人想再试一次,也许是想换个角度。

结果回去时,另一组有导游带领的观鸟团也来了。他们看到鸟后直接靠得太近,离果树大概只有1–2米。其实,大家都知道如果想要更好观赏鸟类,就不应该离得太近,对吧?

不过我们已经对之前的照片很满意了,等他们离开后,这只鸟又靠近我们,就像在跟我们说再见,完美地结束了这次行程。

Red-throated Barbet

 

12. Golden-naped Barbet, 金枕拟鴷, 金枕擬鴷, Psilopogon pulcherrimus, キエリゴシキドリ, TAKUR TOPENG HITAM GUNUNG

– common montane Borneo Endemic

– very common found at KNP, Sabah

The highest-ranging of Borneo’s endemic barbets, found in montane forest from 1000 m up to 3000 m or more. Stunning emerald-green with neon-powder-blue crown and throat; namesake golden nape only visible from certain angles. Yellow-crowned Barbet is similar in appearance, but the two do not overlap in altitudinal range. Slow-moving and often difficult to locate; forages at middle and upper levels. Best detected by voice: two bright, hollow-sounding notes followed by a brief ascending trill. [EBird]

update 202509

One of the most common and easiest Borneo endemic barbets to see. This species often comes down to feed and is quite tolerant of people.

We were lucky to get a few great photo opportunities with this beautiful bird.

这是婆罗洲最常见、最容易看到的特有拟啄木鸟之一,通常会飞到低处觅食,也不太怕人。

This is one of the most common birds at Fraser’s Hill, Malaysia, but its beauty never fails to captivate me. I never tire of seeing or photographing it, even when we’re in Sumatra, Indonesia. My buddy and I were hiking to find other targets, with no much luck—only hearing calls without seeing anything. Then, this bird appeared, coming down low to feed, offering us a perfect opportunity.

这是马来西亚福隆港最常见的鸟之一,但它的美丽总是让我着迷。即使在印度尼西亚苏门答腊,我也从不厌倦再次看到或拍摄它。我和伙伴一起上山寻找其他目标,但运气不佳,只听到叫声却看不到踪影。就在这时,这只鸟飞下来低处觅食,给了我们一个绝佳的拍摄机会。

它是另一种斯里兰卡特有种,整体呈绿色和黄色,脸部呈蓝色,在该国相当常见。

202312, Sri Lanka

 

150. 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!

202412, Baihualing, Yunan, China

 

151. 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。

update 202602

This was our very first Barbet of the tour, and it couldn’t have been better. The bird perched unusually low and very close to us. I still remember my first Tinkerbird sighting—way up in the canopy, 20–30 meters high. This cute fellow, however, stayed low and fed calmly just a short distance away.

这是我们此次行程看到的第一只拟啄木鸟,而且距离非常近、位置也很低。还记得我第一次看到“响蜜䴕”时,它高高地停在二三十米的树冠上。这只可爱的小家伙却低低地停着,在离我们不远的地方悠闲觅食。

It was a quick visit to check on the flowers while meeting a few friends. Within an hour, the bird appeared twice, giving me the perfect chance to capture its flight using the R1 Continuous Pre-record mode. It worked perfectly!

Over the years, by understanding what the bird feeds on, it has gone from being difficult to spot to becoming a fairly common sight today.

这是一次快速的探访,查看花朵的同时也见了几位朋友。在一个小时内,这只鸟出现了两次,给了我绝佳的机会用 R1 连续预录模式捕捉它的飞行。效果非常好!

update 202601

After 18 unforgettable days in Kenya, I’m finally back in Malaysia. This birding trip truly opened my eyes—aside from Sri Lanka, Kenya has become one of my favorite places. Even without any feeding stations, birds were easy to find and photograph. On just Day 1, we photographed 98 species! By the end of the tour, the group had recorded 414 species—and I got about 10 more during solo walks in free time. I’ll definitely return, though 2026/2027 is already fully booked… and I’m too tired to think about 2028 now. Time to relax. More photos coming soon!

It’s not a lifer, but this time we had several close encounters with this seemingly common bird. The two distinct spots on its wings stood out beautifully, especially when the light hit just right. Moments like this remind us how stunning even familiar species can be.

在肯尼亚度过了18天难忘的观鸟之旅,我终于回到马来西亚了。这次旅程真的让我大开眼界,除了斯里兰卡之外,肯尼亚已经成为我最喜欢的观鸟地点之一。
即使没有喂食点,也能轻松看到并拍到各种鸟类。我们第一天就拍到了98种鸟!
整趟行程结束时,团队成员一共拍到了414种鸟(我在休息时独自走动时又多拍了10种)。
我肯定还会再回来,只是可惜2026和2027的行程已经排满……
现在真的累了,2028的计划暂时不想动了,先休息一下,接下来会陆续分享更多照片!

虽然不是新种,但这次多次近距离观察到这只看起来普通的鸟,翅膀上那两个特别的斑点在阳光下显得格外漂亮。
这样的时刻让我们再次感受到,就算是常见的鸟种,也有它惊艳的一面。

update 202412

This marks my final bird of the 2024 tours after a hectic year. Before another busy year kicks off on January 1, I’ll take a few days to rest. Capturing birds in flight within a forest is no easy feat, especially with a lens that has such a small aperture. However, the CANON R1 made it surprisingly manageable, even though the image quality is somewhat compromised at ISO 51200. Nonetheless, I truly enjoyed watching how the camera’s autofocus tracked the bird in the forest.

这是我 2024 年拍的最后一只鸟,结束了忙碌的一年。在新的一年从 1 月 1 日开始之前,我会休息几天。在森林里抓拍飞行的鸟并不容易,尤其是用这样小光圈的镜头。不过,CANON R1 让这变得相对轻松,尽管在 ISO 51200 下画质有所下降。不管怎样,我还是很享受看到相机的自动对焦如何在森林里追踪鸟儿的过程。

I still remember that quiet, hot afternoon. Despite spotting this bird, the guests showed little excitement due to the humidity. Everyone had a good view, and I took the opportunity to move to the back for a great photo session with this rare trogon.

我仍然记得那个安静而炎热的下午。尽管看到了这只鸟,但由于湿热,客人们没表现出多少兴奋。大家都看得很清楚,我则抓住机会走到后面,为这只罕见的咬鹃拍了一组精彩的照片。

update 202402

– a hot afternoon, we spent our hot day mostly with few different Woodpeckers .. before we want to go for some relax waiting birding..

– 非常炎热的下午。还好,蛮多啄木鸟。。但我们要去凉快等鸟前,尽然被我看到“红点”在蛮低的位置。本身还以为看到榴红八色鸫,当我用上双筒看是。。我大叫。橙腰!。。。可是是鸟的前面,我们还是希望有机会100%是橙腰(怕是红腰。。很暗)当我们追他大概5-10分钟,他停了2次终于让我们看北部+叫了!大家都高兴。。。

– 另一个地点见到它。好像那都很活跃。可是我很忙没时间拍更好的照片。

202307, Johor, Malaysia

update 202307

– very lucky morning, we decided to have a walk after got the main target of the “Rail-Babbler tour”. I heard a weird call, and saw something orange fly low, first bird I guess is Cinnamon-Rumped Trogon. But the call the bird consistent  make is different from the ordinary call. But a bird just fly infront of us ~10feet away. Bingo.. it is the star bird. This bird very tame compare to other , stay calm, close and allow us move and get close to have some good photos.

– I am sure this is top3 bird of 202307

– 非常幸运的一天。主要目标拿下后,这团其实是4天找白眉长颈鸫,可是在昨天(第一天)已拿下。今天我们一位轻轻松松的看看鸟。可是,在一天步道上。我听到可疑叫声+见到橙色鸟飞低。我就猜是这鸟,不久这鸟就飞来我们10尺前。可是都不是很好拍照。可是,他太给力了。飞来飞去近的,低的还让我们走近拍照。

– 绝对是202307 最好鸟照片之一。

update 202506

It’s nearly impossible to miss this bird at RDC, Sepilok, Sabah—it’s usually very common. On our last trip, it was a bit shy, but this time it was back to its usual self, coming really close. This shot was taken at around 400mm on a full-frame camera. From up close, it’s easy to see why its Chinese name translates to “Purple Crown.”

在沙巴山打根的雨林探索中心(RDC),几乎不可能错过这只鸟,它通常非常常见。上一次行程中它有些害羞,但这次又恢复了平时的状态,靠得非常近。这张照片是用全画幅相机约400mm焦距拍摄的。从近距离看,就能明白为什么它的中文名叫“紫冠”。

update 202405

– another humid and hot afternoon, we missed all the trogon in the morning. But lucky to have this even so hot so close and stay for scope view.

– it is not as common as in Borneo lowland forest but it is quite easy to find one in Peninsular Malaysia lowland forest

– 早上一只咬鹃也没看到,中午这么热还以为吃白果。可是还好,没很久就看到这一只站很久+底。

– a “purple” head trogon than wont be missed, and pretty common bird to be seen at Sepilok, Sandakan.

– 有如其名,紫顶。在山打根RDC蛮普通的。

202403, Sepilok, Sabah

#####

update 202310

– always a beautiful bird to be seen, lovely and big bird.

– this is a picture captured with CANON RF100500 with 1.4x TC which gave us very good image quality with 140mm – 700mm with 700mm at F10. I use it quite often .. for birding, it is always need longer focal length. with the new CANON RF200-800 even it is F9 at the longer side. But with the new camera better ISO performance and new denoise software. the light weight 800mm definite one of the best option for birding … I am waiting …. lets see when I have it on hand
now, the 800mm at F9, longer focal length with “smaller” aperture and overall smaller size, lighter… so what’s the reason to complaint ?

– 佳能过去几年,轻便的长焦镜头一直被看低就因为一个500mm (短),F7.1 (慢) 可是很多不知道或不接受。F6.3-F7.1 就1/3 stop .. 真的这么大分别?可是有想过重量? 1.4kg 是多么的适合我们一天8-12小时在外面的鸟人。可是,这个500 就,真的有点短。我也很经常用上1.4x ,就可以有700mm 可是就上到F10. 可是画质我还是觉得,非常的好。现在,佳能终于出了支200-800 为了重量体型,他们应该不得放到F6.3-F9 ..可是还在2KG 。还是重,可是想想800mm F9 长了,光圈也比之前100500+ 1.4 大了。价格也低下来了。之前其他牌子也是把它换到“白”然后也不是最高级别的镜头才把价格拉低。这也应该大概一样的道理。只是我本身还是希望,有基本防尘,雨功能。等等200800 的到来吧。

这并非此次行程的主要目标,但谁能拒绝这样的美色呢?当我们正步履不停地寻找更多目标时,它轻柔的鸣叫声吸引了我们的注意,让我们得以寻踪而至,一睹其芳容。

2025 has been so hectic that I didn’t even get a chance to visit this place—I really miss both the location and its birds. This stunning endemic trogon from Sumatra remains one of the most beautiful I’ve seen in Indonesia.

2025年实在太忙了,连这地方都没时间去一趟。我真的很想念这里和那里的鸟。这只来自印尼苏门答腊岛的特有咬鹃,依然是我见过最美丽的咬鹃之一。

update 202411

– On the last day of the trip, the bird came incredibly close and low, but the heavy mist made it difficult to capture a clear shot. I attempted to photograph it in flight and managed to get a few shots, though the image quality suffered due to the mist and low light conditions.

旅程的最后一天,鸟飞得非常近且低,但浓雾使得拍摄清晰照片变得困难。我尝试拍摄一些飞行的画面,虽然拍到了几张,但由于雾气和低光条件,画质并不理想。

– One of the primary reasons to visit Sumatra Island in Indonesia is to witness this incredible endemic species. I must say, you’ll be amazed by the breathtaking beauty of this bird when viewed through binoculars or a camera lens.

– Like other Trogons, it feeds incredibly quickly, finishing its meal in mere seconds.

– 前往印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛的主要原因之一就是欣赏这里令人惊叹的这一只特有物种。我必须说,当你通过双筒望远镜或相机镜头观察这只鸟时,它的美丽会让你叹为观止。

和其他咬鹃一样,它进食速度非常快,几秒钟就吃完了。很不容易捕捉到它吃东西的一幕。

– One of the primary reasons to visit Sumatra Island in Indonesia is to witness this incredible endemic species. I must say, you’ll be amazed by the breathtaking beauty of this bird when viewed through binoculars or a camera lens.

– During our 6-day photography trip, we encountered this bird multiple times. On the final evening, despite the misty weather, we were fortunate to see it flying around to feed. It was the perfect chance to capture some shots of it in flight (BIF). The new Canon R1 made photographing BIF much easier, even in the challenging jungle environment.

在我们为期6天的摄影之旅中,多次遇到这只鸟。在最后一个傍晚,尽管天气有些雾蒙蒙,我们仍幸运地看到它在飞翔觅食。这是一个绝佳的机会来捕捉它飞行中的画面(BIF)。全新的佳能R1让在丛林中拍摄飞行中的鸟变得更加轻松。

It’s an incredibly striking bird, with colors that might seem mismatched but come together beautifully in a single species. Truly stunning, and it’s fairly common in Sumatra’s sub-montane and montane regions.

Returning to the Center-East for a bird photography group, we were fortunate to spot this bird on the very first morning. A stunning male appeared, displaying a vibrant array of colors on its back.

– 这是一种非常引人注目的鸟,颜色看起来似乎不太协调,但却完美地融合在一只鸟身上。非常惊艳,而且在苏门答腊的中海拔和高海拔相当常见。

再次来到中东部参加观鸟摄影团,我们很幸运在第一天早上就发现了这只鸟。一只漂亮的雄鸟出现了,展示出它背部丰富多彩的羽毛。

– it is going to end the Sumatra Birding tour here, it is enjoyable we only hit into rain end of the tour which is amazing. My 2023 end with the memorize trip here. But overall is wet, muddy and few places of landslides. As we just concentrate on west-center, we mostly at Sub-montane or Montane birding. I am mostly using CANON RF200800 and CANON R3 for rainforest environment. It is challenging with such long focal length with small aperture (will share more experience later regard the lens)

– this bird seem quite common any where here, we seen and heard almost any where even night roosting at montane area. Such a beautiful bird and hope to see the Java version soon (which I missed 16 years ago)

– 苏门答腊观鸟团就这样结束了。我的2023 也写上一个美好的结局。虽然,时雨季可是我们除了最后一天最后一刻才下了一点雨。虽然,几乎每个地方都湿湿的。这次我们在西-中部,全程在800-2100米。我也几乎都用上佳能 RF200800 为了测试在雨林的好与坏(迟点再分享这只长焦段+小光圈)

– 这次算看这鸟最多的吧,几乎哪都看到他。连夜观也看到。这鸟真的很漂亮也希望有机会到爪哇,看看那只爪哇的。(16年前错过后)

– another Christmas spend with my best guest, buddy .. this time choose have special target tour to Sumatra. After whole day travel, we arrived first birding accommodation from 4am – 4pm .. 1+ hour flight and ~7hours drive ..next day morning, we decided to change ours original plan for Ground Cuckoo, but I didn’t see one and only heard twice for almost whole day in a very lovely forest.

– this bird flying in-front of us while we waiting ours target and having ours hot tea session. What a beauty, still remember ~18 years ago I missed my Java trogon … and today see this very look a-like endemic of Sumatra ..

– 另一个圣诞节与我的好朋友+客人在森林里度过。这次我们选了苏门答腊。经过12小时。。车+飞机(1+小时)+车(7++小时)我们到住宿时已过了4点下午休息后,我们决定换我们行程先去找找地鹃。可是,一整天在森林都没看到还只听到2声。

还好这一只这么漂亮的鸟竟然在我们喝热茶等鸟时,竟然自己飞过来。上帝很厉害配颜色。

501. Narina Trogon, 绿颊咬鹃, 綠頰咬鵑, Apaloderma narina, アフリカキヌバネドリ

A spectacular, mostly iridescent-metallic-green bird, with a scarlet belly, broad yellow bill, and white under tail. The face and throat of the male are green, while the females’ are dirty gray-brown. It sits upright and still in the canopy of riverine and lowland forest, watching for insect prey, then flying fast and directly to catch it. During the breeding season, its soft, deep, throaty “huooo-huooo” call makes it much easier to find. The similar Bare-cheeked Trogon differs by having a face with a large bare yellow skin patches that extend from cheek to bill–not small blue-green spots. Bar-tailed Trogon has a heavily-barred undertail and prefers montane forest above 900 m. [EBird]

一种极具观赏性的鸟类,整体呈金属绿色光泽,腹部鲜红,嘴喙宽大呈黄色,尾下覆羽为白色。雄鸟的脸部和喉部为绿色,而雌鸟则为污灰褐色。

它通常直立不动地栖息在河岸林和低地森林的树冠层,警惕地观察昆虫猎物,然后迅速直线飞行捕捉猎物。在繁殖季节,它柔和而低沉的喉音“huooo-huooo”使其更容易被发现。

与其相似的裸颊咬鹃(Bare-cheeked Trogon)不同之处在于,其脸部有大块裸露的黄色皮肤,从脸颊延伸到嘴喙,而不是小型蓝绿色斑点。斑尾咬鹃(Bar-tailed Trogon)则具有明显的横斑尾下覆羽,并且更偏好海拔 900 米以上的高山森林。

update 202502

The only possible trogon for our South Africa trip, we spotted it just once—and in heavy rain! Despite the downpour, it kept flying around, and we were lucky to see it perch for a while, giving us a great view. Its metallic green and red plumage is truly stunning.

这是我们南非之行唯一可能遇见的咬鹃,我们仅在一次机会中看到它——而且还是在大雨中!尽管大雨滂沱,它仍不停飞翔,幸运的是,它停歇了一会儿,让我们得以好好欣赏。它那金属绿色搭配红色的羽毛,实在是太美了。

1. Blue-tailed Bee-eater, 栗喉蜂虎, Merops philippinus, ハリオハチクイ, BEREK-BEREK ZAITUN ASIA

The Blue-tailed Bee-eater (Merops philippinus) is a near passerine bird in the bee-eater family Meropidae. It breeds in southeastern Asia. It is strongly migratory, seen seasonally in much of peninsular India.

This species is sometimes considered to be conspecific with the Blue-cheeked Bee-eater, M. persicus.

***http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue-tailed_Bee-eater

– common that travel down to Malaysia ~nov-March

– anywhere… and stay nearby or stop the same spot for food

3. Red-Bearded Bee-eater, 赤须夜蜂虎, 赤須夜蜂虎, Nyctyornis amictus, ムネアカハチクイ, Berek-Berek Tunggal

The Red-bearded Bee-eater (Nyctyornis amictus) is a large species of bee-eater found in the Indo-Malayan subregion of South-east Asia. This species is found in openings in patches of dense forest.

Like other bee-eaters, they are colourful birds with long tails, long decurved beaks and pointed wings. They are large bee-eaters, predominantly green, with a red colouration to face that extends on to the slightly hanging throat feathers to form the “beard”.

Like other bee-eaters, they predominantly eat insects, especially bees, wasps and hornets, which are caught in flight from perches concealed in foliage. They hunt alone or in pairs, rather than in flocks, and sit motionless for long periods before pursuing their prey.

Like other bee-eaters, they nest in burrows tunnelled into the side of sandy banks but do not form colonies.

– beautiful bird and it is not too shy to human but still not easy to get close

update 202409

– target bird no show so spend sometime with the beautiful bird instead.

– the bird keep open the tail while making call, but this happen very quickly.

– 目标鸟没出现,这鸟一直叫。就拍了他一会(蛮久)

– 用上新的佳能R5Markii 预拍功能,半按快门键就会把锁定目标动作后(按下快门前半秒的照片RAW 档都写下)拍了,立刻(只要不要过了缓冲)又可以再来这个预拍功能。有如这站照片,鸟一直开尾巴叫。都很快。用上这功能,我只要

4. Chestnut-headed Bee-eater, 栗頭蜂虎,栗头蜂虎, Merops leschenaulti, チャガシラハチクイ, BEREK-BEREK EKOR PENDEK ASIA

The Chestnut-headed Bee-eater (Merops leschenaulti) a.k.a. Bay-headed Bee-eater is a near passerine bird in the bee-eater family Meropidae. It is a resident breeder in the Indian Subcontinent and adjoining regions, ranging from India east to Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.

This species, like other bee-eaters, is a richly coloured, slender bird. It is predominantly green, with blue on the rump and lower belly. Its face and throat are yellow with a black eye stripe, and the crown and nape are rich chestnut. The thin curved bill is black. Sexes are alike, but young birds are duller.

This species is 18–20 cm long; it lacks the two elongated central tail feathers possessed by most of its relatives.

It’s always one of our main targets when visiting Central Sulawesi. We’ve been here for two days and managed to see this bird twice, though still from a bit of a distance. We’re hoping to get a closer look soon!

A truly special Sulawesi endemic for us. Two more target species to go in the next day and a half — wish us luck!

这一种鸟一直是我们到中苏拉威西的重要目标之一。来这里两天,我们已经看到它两次,不过距离都有点远,还在努力想要更近一点观察。

对我们来说,这是非常精彩的苏拉威西特有种。接下来一天半还有两个目标物种要找,祝我们好运!

51. Asian Green Bee-eater, 绿喉蜂虎, 綠喉蜂虎, Merops orientalis, ミドリハチクイ

A small, dainty bee-eater of open woodlands, farmland, and sparse human habitation. Mainly green with a bluish throat, slender black eye mask and throat band, rufous or slightly rusty crown and back of the neck, and central tail streamers. Juveniles are duller than adults and lack the long tail feathers. In flight, note the rusty underwing with a black trailing edge. Flies gracefully as it catches insects and other prey. Calls are a series of gentle liquid trills or more staccato notes. [ebird]

绿喉蜂虎头顶至后颈及两旁橙棕色,有一黑色过眼纹,眼纹下及颏绿蓝色,背至尾上覆羽鲜草绿色,后者羽端沾蓝;尾羽暗草绿色;羽干黑褐至黑色,中央一对的狭细部分全黑色,侧尾羽有蓝绿色外缘和褐色的内缘、羽端;翅表大致与背同色,三级飞羽端部沾蓝,初、次级飞羽具黑色羽端。喉、胸橙绿色,喉下有一黑色半环形斑;胸以下淡蓝绿色;腋羽、翼下覆羽及覆腿羽淡橙棕色。

This beautiful Bee-eater was only spotted once, staying within the cactus area where its colors blended perfectly. I was amazed at how the camera managed to find and track the bird. I used the full-screen AF on my R1, which allowed it to detect the bird’s location effortlessly.

这只美丽的蜂虎鸟只被看到了一次,它停留在仙人掌区域,与周围的颜色完美融合。我很惊讶相机能够找到并追踪到它。我使用的是全屏自动对焦功能,这让我的R1能够轻松检测到鸟的位置。

102. Southern Carmine Bee-eater, 南红蜂虎, 南方洋紅蜂虎, Merops nubicoides, ミナミベニハチクイ

A large, spectacular, slender, carmine-pink-and-teal-blue bee-eater with a long pointed tail, black bill, and black facial mask. The immature is duller and shorter-tailed. It gathers in large groups that often attend bush fires, and it specializes in catching large flying insects, including dragonflies, butterflies, and locusts. Breeds colonially by burrowing into sandbanks. It has a complex three-stage migration; it generally breeds between 13–20°S from August–September, disperses south of the breeding area December–March, and then moves north of the breeding area April–August. “Trik-trik-trik” calls are more guttural than those of European Bee-eater. Similar Northern Carmine Bee-eater has a teal-colored (not carmine) chin and throat.

一种体型较大、外观壮观、身形修长的蜂虎,呈深红粉色和蓝绿色,具有长而尖的尾巴、黑色的喙和黑色的脸部斑纹。未成年的个体颜色较暗淡,尾巴也较短。它们通常成群聚集,常出现在丛林火灾附近,擅长捕捉大型飞行昆虫,如蜻蜓、蝴蝶和蝗虫。该物种群居繁殖,会在沙岸上挖洞筑巢。

其迁徙模式复杂,分为三个阶段:通常在南纬13–20°之间于8月至9月繁殖,12月至3月向繁殖区以南地区扩散,4月至8月再迁徙至繁殖区以北。其“trik-trik-trik”的叫声比欧洲蜂虎更加低沉粗犷。与其相似的北方深红蜂虎则拥有蓝绿色(而非深红色)的下颌和喉部。

At the current pace of posting, there’s no way I can share all — or even half — of the photos from Kenya.
Kenya is truly one of those must-visit birding destinations. Absolutely incredible!

This was one of the bee-eaters that got everyone excited!
We only saw it once during the entire 18-day trip in Kenya, but what a moment — such a stunning bird with its bright red color. Truly unforgettable!

按照现在发图的速度,我肯定不可能把肯尼亚的照片都分享出来,甚至连一半都难。
肯尼亚真的是鸟友必去的国家之一,太精彩了!

这是让大家兴奋的一种蜂虎!
在肯尼亚的18天旅程中我们只见过它一次,但那一刻太精彩了——它那鲜艳的红色太惊艳,真的是一只让人难忘的美丽鸟儿!

It’s time to sort through some 2024 photos before archiving them. Here’s another common hornbill of Malaysia, typically seen moving in groups. I’m really impressed with the R3—it rarely lets me down when capturing what I want. Even this shot, taken in a dark area with a background change, turned out great!

是时候整理一些2024年的照片了,然后再归档。这是一只马来西亚常见的犀鸟,通常成群活动。对R3真的非常满意,它几乎从未让我失望,无论我想拍什么。这张照片是在光线较暗的区域拍的,背景也有变化,但效果依然很好!

101. Crowned Hornbill, 冕弯嘴犀鸟, 冕彎嘴犀鳥, Lophoceros alboterminatus, カンムリコサイチョウ

Dark brown hornbill with a white belly and an orange bill. The white corners of the tail are conspicuous in flight. Males and females are similar, but male has a bigger casque on top of the bill. Found in lush woodland, forest, and forest edge. Often in small flocks. Call is a long series of high, piping notes. Has little overlap in range with similar hornbills, and is unique in having a yellow eye. [Ebird]

 

update 202501

It was a late lunch, and the “sushi” took nearly two hours to arrive! But luckily, as we walked into the restaurant, I spotted a Hornbill nesting. I managed to get a few flight shots just by sitting at the table while waiting for lunch. Meanwhile, others went straight to the nest, hoping for a better feeding moment. A small but noisy Hornbill!

这是一个很晚的午餐,而“寿司”竟然等了将近两个小时!不过幸运的是,当我们走进餐厅时,我发现了一只犀鸟正在筑巢。就坐在餐桌上等午餐的间隙,我拍到了几张它的飞行照。而其他人则直接跑去巢穴,期待能拍到更好的喂食瞬间。这是一只体型小但非常吵闹的犀鸟!

update 202601

This is a hornbill quite different from the hornbills we are familiar with. Unlike most species, this one usually feeds on the ground, which is why it is known as the Ground Hornbill. We were very fortunate to have it walk straight toward us, giving us an excellent close view and a great photo session.

这是一种与我们常见的犀鸟很不一样的犀鸟。它通常在地面觅食,因此被称为“地犀鸟”。这次非常幸运,它直接向我们走来,让我们近距离观赏,也拍到了很棒的照片。

one of the most beautiful bird for me …. Silver-Breasted Broadbill

update 202403

– very lucky moment while everyone just got the eye level of Trogon, this bird just not far from the Trogon. But I am not happy with some foreign photographers with us… we found the Trogon and stand at best position for the view but another group of Photographers lead by other Guide just stand infront of us when they saw us looking at the bushes … and I actually told them they blocking us .. but they just ignore us !!!!! please be polite and considerate ..

– 非常幸运见到咬鹃后,这鸟也站我们不远。可是在这我是要吐槽一下,另一组国外摄鸟人(有鸟导领的)。当我们见到这鸟时,我们很快到了最好角度…可是没久另一组摄鸟人跑来我们前面就站我们前面。我很礼貌跟他们讲,可是他们就当我没讲话一样。所以我们看到这鸟时,我也没通知他们。大家在一个点就礼让一点吧。

What a surprise to spot this species here! Although not the first time, it’s still quite rare to see them in this area. Even better, they were feeding very close to us—right at eye level—giving us a great photography opportunity.

A noisy flock too, making their presence known and helping us locate them easily!

在这里遇到这鸟真是个惊喜!虽然不是第一次见到,但在这个区域还是非常少见。更难得的是,它们在离我们很近的地方觅食,刚好在拍摄的理想高度,提供了绝佳的摄影机会。

update 202502

Not sure what happened—there’s been so much rain, and this season, the birds don’t seem very active at all. But luckily, this morning, we got our three targets in the same location, including this lovely broadbill, though it was perched high and remained quiet.

不确定发生了什么,这个季节雨水特别多,鸟类似乎都不太活跃。幸运的是,今天早上我们在同一个地点找到了三个目标,其中包括这只可爱的阔嘴鸟,不过它停在高处,一直安静不动。

– 非常幸运的摄影团,竟然遇上这只鸟2次(第一次全雾)。这么漂亮的婆罗洲特有种。

update 202405

– it is wonderful morning, got this main target even not best light but it is lucky tick for all.

– a big “green” broadbill, endemic to Borneo

– 非常幸运,在鸟都离巢后。一大清早也看到这鸟,虽然不是很好的照片。可是还是很不错。大家都高兴一天内拿下3“白头”

update 202307

– a large “green” Borneo endemic.

– it was a a misty day, after having our morning targets. We decided casual walking and all of sudden saw this bird stand just at roadside and moving toward direction of a trail. without any delay, we walk fast to the trail and got the bird with very good view even misty due to close and not very high up view

– 雾很大的一天。在早上看到我们的目标鸟后。 我们就轻松的走走,可是在路边竟然看到这鸟站哪。可是当客人到来时,这鸟已向右飞去。我们很快走进了林子,很快就看到这鸟了。虽然雾大,可是还是很漂亮因为很近。

202307, KNP, Sabah, Malaysia

update 202305

– previous both Whitehead’s Trio, we ticked it pretty simple. This one bit tricky where we saw it fly and perch (1-2 persons saw it but no good view). And one evening, I decided to make a bet to wait this bird at either location we normally found it. It is lucky picked, saw the bird stay for more than 20 minutes for good view, pictures and videos

3只神山“白头”宝,咬鹃与捕蛛鸟都很容易拿下。就这一只,见了好几次都是飞来飞去。在最后一个下午,我决定来赌一把选2个我们下午较容易见到他的点选一。非常幸运,我们赌对了。在530左右,它叫了一会就飞了出来让我们看,拍的很好。

202305, KNP, SABAH, MALAYSIA

update 202207

– first bird of the tour, it appear just in-front of us for the early morning

update 202306

– one of the main reason I like be at Paya Maga (beside the Black Oriole). This bird is reasonable easy to “heard” and “seen” with many other good birds too

– when we had last hour and glad everyone never gave up and spent last moment to hike up to a small mountain after rain and “Bingo” after everyone see the Eyebrowed Wren-Babbler. Good view and long enough for almost everyone a good view.

– 到这山里头最主要鸟之一。这鸟非常稀有,在这听到不难,看到它飞也不难。

– 非常幸运,第2天的最后一个小时。在下了一场大雨后,大家还不放弃。爬上了一个小山坡。让每个人看的很好。

update 202411

– a very tiny Woodpecker, overall brown and white. Which normally found near mangrove, nearby river bank. But this time found near Palm oil Plantation which nearby mangrove area too

– while looking for more interesting subjects, this tiny bird came queitly whithout any vocal, but the movement attract me and got this moment

– 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。

update 202602

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。

– yet another R1 pre-capture moment captured .. it is real fun to have this Pre-capture function show how this bird “jump up” begin the flight. It is real cool to have Pre-cature every single moment and continue with normal operation like re-focus, tracking …

– 马来半岛很普通的啄木鸟,通常在红树林出没。

– 在继续测试佳能R1预拍中,真的这种任何手突然跳起,降落的一刻都完全容易的拿下。还要在相机拍的预拍后还继续的普通拍照。

– rare small woodpecker

– Medium-sized crested woodpecker with an olive-brown body and a black-and-white-striped head and neck; quite dull and dark for a flame back. The crest is bright red in males and black in females. Inhabits lowland and hill forests, where it forages both at middle levels and close to the ground, both singly and in pairs. Generally fairly uncommon and local. (ebird)

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!

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。

– 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。

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。

– moving in group making alot of sounds when seen

update 202506

Now recognized as the largest woodpecker in the world, it’s not exactly rare, but spotting one can still be a challenge. They’re usually seen in pairs, moving through the forest with loud, distinctive calls.

如今被认为是世界上最大的啄木鸟,虽然不算特别稀有,但要看到它仍然具有一定挑战性。它们通常成对活动,在森林中发出响亮而独特的叫声。

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。

601. Necklaced Woodpecker, 赤胸啄木鸟, Dryobates pernyii

 

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。
