– it is an old picture, another not a good memory to have .. too many pressure to cause the chick fledged too earlier …. it still not really able to fly, fall into the river few times and safe back … can’t do much beside wish them good luck
– 久照片，不喜欢放“巢”有关照片（如果放 1.我绝对有信心没人会打扰 2.多余1年后吧）这鸟照，蛮不高兴的一刻。太多的打扰，逼得小鸟提早出巢。还不很会飞，几次跌进河。我们几个挚友希望他们安全。

After getting our target species, we heard a soft call nearby—I was pretty sure it was this bird. After a bit of searching, there it was—just about 10 feet away! Such a lovely woodpecker, and a true gem of Malaysia.
在找到我们目标鸟种之后，听到附近传来轻柔的叫声——我几乎可以确定就是这只鸟。稍微找了一会儿，它就在离我们大约十英尺的地方！真是一只可爱的啄木鸟，是马来西亚的瑰宝。

– honor to try out the new CANON R5mii, most of us really wish firmware upgrade for R5marki for better AF features. but we know while the markii launch mean the hope will fall on the new R5markii. Yes, the AF improve dramatically, it have AF function like R3, R7, R6markii with add on of new feature too.
– this bird fly quite low and any direction, I track it quite well too
what I like
i. animal detect, eye detection now included for single point, 5 points, any zone and also full area
ii. add on new focus area which disable all animal detect !!! it back to old AF method “point AF” .. very useful for condition for the camera difficult to detect the animal !!!
iii. the animal detect simply awesome, it pick up the animal so fast even at complex environment.. hope I can share more soon
iv. tracking is good too, even it is nothing compare to new R1 .. and may R3 (may be so use to the R3, feel the R3 pick up faster and track more “sticky”)
v. the .5s continuous pre-shoot is a real good feature !!! for wildlife .. I dont have many chance test this but it should be one of the best feature !!! all other brands may also follow this soon 😀
– 非常幸运马来西亚佳能，借了我新的R5markii用了3天。相信大家都有与我一样的“希望”。对焦。对焦。对焦。
对我3天的用，我一些感想。
i. 终于，它有了与R3,R7, R6makrii一样的对焦功能，加上新的“点”对焦。吧对焦区域直接换这个，就会想久的对焦方式。不会用上动物对焦。（在很多情况下，这会帮我们对焦上AI 找不到动物）
ii, 动物对焦真的很快，复杂的情况也很快找到。追焦，还是可以。可能用习惯R3， 感觉R3还是追焦好点。等2-3星期后再试。
iii. 那个半秒一直预先拍下半秒的照片，这应该是这几的最好的创新吧（相信其他品牌应该也会用这个吧）。拍下半秒加上继续的1-2秒。只要不是过了相机buffer,相机是一只普通的拍的。不用像以前所有的预拍功能要等上好几秒才可以继续用相机。这真的是太好了。

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

update 202503
Just another moment captured with this beautiful yet shy bird. I’m accustomed to situations where people alter the environment—making it brighter and more open—just for the sake of photos, which can affect the bird’s natural behavior. However, that doesn’t diminish my happiness, especially with my birding buddy back in action after finally deciding to get his 400mm F2.8 following a slowdown in birding. Exciting times ahead, as I have more personal birding trips coming up soon!
又一次捕捉到这只美丽而害羞的鸟儿。
我已经习惯了有人为了拍照而改变环境——让它更明亮、更开阔——从而影响鸟类的自然行为。
但这并不会影响我的快乐，尤其是我的观鸟伙伴终于决定入手 400mm F2.8 镜头，在观鸟节奏放缓后再次回归。
接下来，我也有更多个人观鸟之旅要开启，令人期待！

– it is a tough day, been assign with a 1.5 days (actually just one day for Rail-babbler as main target). After meet Hermina & Shannon, they really keen to see the Rail-babbler… so we make a early move and have a long coffee stop before we go into forest due to some early morning rain. Immediate arrive the area, after got 1 frogmouth calling, and sight the Banded Woodpecker. I heard the Rail-babbler calling, immediate trying to track it down and we spit the bird less than 10 minutes … ring my buddy and hope he is happy man now ..
– 接受了一项几乎是不可能任务，1天时间看白眉长颈鸫。与两名客人交谈后，虽然她们都没来过马来西亚。可是还是觉得要用时间看这目标鸟。一大早下了场小雨，我们吃了进林子。到了没太久，竟然还听到蟆口鸱叫。。。虽然找了一会还是放弃，因为听到白眉长颈鸫叫。找了10多分钟，竟然找到了。。。。。幸运啊
update 202409
– it is a special request to have this bird just for single day.. real challenge for this rare and shy bird
– 非常特别要求，在一天哪要看这么一只害羞，稀有的鸟。

update 202410
– a very common lowland forest, mangrove, sub-montane woodpecker. Overall rufous which difficult to miss this bird.
– it is a special out to test the R1, may be I am already start use the “Pre-capture” long ago .. (those Olympus old time, Panasonic etc) for me to captured this kind of “trap focus” “jumping” picture is very easy … now Canon finally come with proper Pre-capture and improve it with … “continous Pre-capture” ..mean it is almost every half-press is a pre capture .. as long as control well the buffer… I hope I can find a better way to share to all of this about this “Best feature” to have for Wildlife Photography
– 这鸟蛮普通几乎在红树林，低海拔，中海拔森林都容易看到。棕色的鸟不难错过。
– 在这几天，我是在想办法记录下“我想大家知道R1 的强大”。。。其中一环是“预拍”。这功能在很久以前我一开始用，在Olympus, Panasonic 可能在10年前就开始有这个很好的功能。有这功能后，拍摄“陷阱对焦”的“起飞跳”降落“ 几乎都没难读。可是这次，佳能的是绝对加强版的“预拍”。。。之前我们拍后都要等上好几秒相机才可以继续使用。可是这次，佳能的是“连续预拍”只要控制好。几乎每一刻都是预拍的。（可是卡可是要大大的，不然很快就卡满）。。还在努力中要怎么呈现我想表达。

update 202411
– The only species in Peninsular Malaysia which also one of the world’s smallest raptors, often seen perched high, watching for prey.
– While testing the new Canon R1’s Pre-continuous Shooting and AF performance, I captured one of many frames. I’ll share more from the full sequence in the near future.
– 在马来西亚半岛唯一的物种，同时也是世界上最小的猛禽之一，经常被看到栖息在高处，观察猎物。
在测试新款佳能 R1 的连续预拍摄和自动对焦性能时，我捕捉到了众多画面中的一个。不久后我会分享更多完整的拍摄序列。

While walking along the forest edge, we spotted a pair of large swifts flying overhead. They stayed quite high, but the lighting was just right to catch a clear view of their backs—what a nice moment!
我们在森林边时，看到一对大型雨燕从头顶飞过。它们飞得很高，但光线刚刚好，让我们清楚地看到它们背部的颜色——真是个美好的时刻！
11. Yellow-breasted Flowerpecker, 黄喉锯齿啄花鸟, 黃喉鋸齒啄花鳥, Prionochilus maculatus, キムネハナドリモドキ, SEPAH-PUTERI ZAITUN KUNYIT
Update 202508
There were plenty of Green Broadbills in the national park—we heard and saw several during just 1.5 days of birding. This particular pair stood out, as they came in close to us, looking curious and unbothered.
国家公园里有很多绿阔嘴鸟，我们短短一天半的时间就听到和看到好几只。这一对特别可爱，好奇地靠近我们，完全不怕人。
12. Malayan Black Magpie, 白翅鹊, 黑冠噪鵲, Platysmurus leucopterus, クロカケス, BURUNG-KAMBING BARAT
update 202508
This is one of the shy birds found here. Compared to the Bornean version—which lacks the white wing patch and is generally more tolerant of humans—this one tends to keep its distance.
A lucky morning with four birds coming in close—one of them even perched right at eye level for us!
在这里比较害羞的一种鸟类。相比婆罗洲的版本（没有白色翼斑，也不太怕人），这只明显更害羞一些。
今天早上运气不错，有四只鸟飞近我们，其中一只还停在我们视线平齐的位置！
13. Buff-necked Woodpecker, 黄颈斑啄木鸟, 黃頸斑啄木鳥, Meiglyptes tukki, カレハゲラ, BELATUK-BATU LEHER KUNING
update 202509
One of the most common woodpeckers in Malaysia! While starting a casual birding session with a few friends, this lovely bird came really close and stayed low—giving everyone a great view. A beautiful little woodpecker!
这是马来西亚最常见的啄木鸟之一！我们和几位朋友轻松开始观鸟时，这只可爱的啄木鸟飞得又近又低，让大家都看得很清楚。真是漂亮的小家伙！

update 202509
Sometimes, birding isn’t just about rare birds or perfect photos. A few of us just went out to enjoy the fresh air and see what birds might show up. The whole morning was quiet, but this bird turned out to be the highlight for us.
It didn’t give the best pose, but we still enjoyed a peaceful morning and a delicious lunch!
有时候观鸟并不是为了拍到稀有或完美的照片。我们几个人只是出来呼吸新鲜空气，希望有鸟儿可以拍。整上午都很安静，只有这只鸟算是今天最有趣的收获。
虽然站的位置不太理想，但依然享受了一个轻松的早晨，加上一顿美味的午餐！

update 202510
It was another quiet morning, as expected—I had already told the group the forest might be slow this time. Still, we decided to revisit the same spot for the second time this month. Luckily, this bird family showed up and gave us some nice photo opportunities as they moved around.
又是一个安静的早晨，正如我之前告诉大家的，这段时间森林整体会比较冷清。尽管如此，我们还是这个月第二次走进这片林子。幸运的是，这一家鸟出现了，在我们面前来回活动，让我们拍到了一些不错的照片。
