A bird I’ve been wishing to photograph for years, finally crossed off the list thanks to a specific birding spot found. We had almost zero wait time before both the male and female, along with a few other birds, came right up to us. This beautiful, rare, and shy Kingfisher is a stunning sight. The lovely female here is visibly different from the male Malayan Blue-Banded Kingfisher, as she completely lacks the signature “blue band.”

多年来一直渴望拍摄的一种鸟,终于在当地鸟导发现的一个特定观鸟点如愿以偿。我们几乎没有等待,雄鸟和雌鸟就一前一后飞了过来,期间还有其他几只鸟也凑到了身边。这种美丽、罕见且害羞的马来蓝带翠鸟真是让人惊艳。照片里这只可爱的雌鸟与雄性马来蓝带翠鸟有着明显的不同,它身上完全没有那条标志性的“蓝带”。

2. White-bibbed Babbler, 白领穗鹛, 白領穗鶥, Stachyris thoracica, ムナジロモリチメドリ

update 202606

I first saw this bird years ago but couldn’t get a picture. This time, using a bird hide made everything so simple and easy, and it showed up almost without any wait. It is such a beautiful bird, and just like other babblers, it moves incredibly fast.

多年前我第一次见到这种鸟,但当时没有拍到照片。这次利用观鸟掩体让一切变得非常轻松简单,几乎没怎么等它就出现了。它是一只非常美丽的鸟,而且和其他画眉科鸟类一样,它的动作非常敏捷快速。

3. Banded Kingfisher, 横斑翠鸟, 橫斑翠鳥, Lacedo pulchella, カザリショウビン, KAING-KAING RIMBA

update 202607

It’s definitely not a new bird for everyone—especially with the amazing feeding and nesting spots in Vietnam and Thailand recently—but who could ever say no to this beauty? It just popped up while we were enjoying quality time with the Javan Banded Broadbill, Black-banded Barbet, and Violet Cuckoo. In an instant, everyone shifted focus to photograph this stunning bird.

and I think he is not happy with us

对于大家来说,这绝对不算是什么新鸟种,尤其是最近在越南和泰国都有非常棒的觅食点和育雏点。但面对如此美丽的鸟儿,又有谁能拒绝呢?当时我们正愉快地观察着爪哇斑阔嘴鸟、黑枕拟䴕和紫金鹃等鸟类,它却突然现身。瞬间,所有人的镜头都对准了这位不速之美,开始疯狂按下快门。

看这表情,他几乎不是很高兴。

4. Gray-breasted Partridge, 灰胸山鹧鸪, 灰胸山鷓鴣, Arborophila orientalis, ハイムネミヤマテッケイ

update 202607

One of the main targets of this tour! We only had to wait for less than 20 minutes in a very comfortable weather hide. This turned out to be one of the most rewarding hides of the trip, bringing in around 10 different species. It was a massive relief and excitement for us, especially after the previous days where the hides were quiet with very few birds.

本次行程的核心目标之一!在天气舒适的观鸟掩体里只等了不到20分钟。这绝对是此行收获最丰厚的掩体之一,迎来了大约10种不同的鸟类。前几天其他掩体的鸟况都有些冷清,今天看到这么多鸟真让我们兴奋不已。

这只特征明显的“白脸”鸟儿绝对不容错过。它们成双成对地前来,刚一接近就边走边鸣叫。

5. Javan Hawk-Eagle, 爪哇鹰雕, 爪哇鷹鵰, Nisaetus bartelsi, ジャワクマタカ

update 202607

It was another relatively quiet day with few new birds, but our quick decision to hike down the main road definitely paid off. While we were struggling to spot the small, fast-moving birds high up in the canopy, Xing Hui suddenly shouted, “Fast, fast, raptor!” We ran over, looked toward a nearby perch, and managed to get some shots. We were initially confused by its appearance, but thanks to its long crest and confirmation from local experts, we verified it. It is definitely one of the top bird highlights of our East Java tour!

这又是相对平静的一天,没看到太多新鸟种,但我们果断决定沿着主路快走,绝对是不虚此行。正当我们费力观察高处那些活动频繁的小鸟时,星辉(译音)突然大喊:“快快快,猛禽!”我们飞奔过去,望向不远处的栖枝,成功拍到了它。起初我们对它的外观有些困惑,但凭借它长长的冠羽以及当地专家的确认,最终锁定了目标。这绝对是我们这次东爪哇观鸟行最顶级的亮点之一!

6. Chestnut-bellied Partridge, 棕腹山鹧鸪, 栗腹山鷓鴣, Arborophila javanica, ジャワミヤマテッケイ

update 202607

This was our very first target bird of the East Java trip, and we didn’t have to wait long after getting into the hide! Since we had a long checklist of other species to find, we only stayed for two rounds before moving on to the next birding spot. It showed up quite early, which made getting a great photo a bit of a challenge with the lighting, but it was an awesome start!

这是我们东爪哇观鸟行(East Java Birding Trip)的第一隻目标鸟。进鸟帐(鸟棚)后没多久它就出现了!不过因为我们后面还有很多目标鸟种要去寻觅,所以只拍了两轮就前往下一个观鸟点了。这只鸟来得非常早,光线让拍摄好照片变得颇具挑战性。

7. Javan Banded-Pitta, 爪哇蓝尾八色鸫, 爪哇藍尾八色鶇, Hydrornis guajanus, キマユシマヤイロチョウ, Paok pancawarna

update 202607

My very first photograph of this Pitta was taken exactly 10 years ago in 2016. I still remember the temporary bird hides we used back then, and how incredibly shy the bird was, appearing for only a split second. This time around, almost every bird hide and photography spot yielded an amazing show. Nobody can resist a bird as colorful as a Pitta, so everyone just kept pressing their shutters for this lovely creature.

我拍到的第一张这只八色鸫的照片是在整整十年前的2016年。至今仍记得那时用的临时鸟帐,以及这只鸟有多么害羞,当时它只现身了短短一瞬间。而这一次,几乎所有的鸟帐和观鸟点都迎来了一场精彩的“表演”。没有人能抗拒如此色彩斑斓的八色鸫,所以每个人都在不停地为这只可爱的小鸟按下快门。

8. Javan Black-capped Babbler, 爪哇黑冠幽鹛, 爪哇黑冠幽鶥, Pellorneum capistratum, ズグロジチメドリ

update 202608

Its behavior is remarkably similar to our Malayan Black-capped Babbler, spending most of its time walking along the ground. However, its plumage is distinctly more rufous overall. We were fortunate enough to encounter and photograph this bird on multiple occasions during our East Bali bird photography trip.

它的习性与马来亚黑冠雅鹛非常相似,大部分时间都在地面行走觅食。不过,它的整体羽色更偏红棕色。在我们的东巴厘岛观鸟摄影之旅中,我们曾有幸在多个不同场合记录到这种鸟类。

It was such a challenge to get a full view of this bird when we first heard and tried to spot it. Ironically, at our next site, one just walked right out to feed in front of us! However, it didn’t show its crest while eating, so I still prefer the first one we worked so hard to see. Huge thanks to our guide, Raul!

第一次听到和尝试寻找这鸟时,想要看清它的全貌真的非常具有挑战性。结果在另一个地点,一只鸟竟然直接走出来在大家面前觅食!不过它吃东西的时候没有展示羽冠,所以我还是更喜欢那只让我们费尽千辛万苦才看清的。非常感谢我们的向导 Raul!
