– very active and noisy bird ..
– newly update it may not belong to the Laughingthrush family
– rare and shy montane Borneo endemic
update 202509
One of Borneo’s rare, shy, active, and truly beautiful endemics. We spent two evenings and one morning searching at this spot.
Finally, on the last morning, the bird showed up and stayed for around 30 minutes—but still didn’t come low or stay still for long. Only a few quick stops, but enough for a few precious photos of this lovely bird.
这是婆罗洲稀有、害羞、活跃又漂亮的特有鸟种之一。我们花了两个傍晚和一个早上在这个地点寻找它。
最后一个早上，它终于出现了，大约待了30分钟，但依然不愿意飞低，也不愿久留。只有几秒钟的停留，幸运地拍到几张珍贵的照片。

It’s becoming more challenging to get a good look at this bird, but our relaxed birding approach seems to pay off. We’ve come across a few nice pairs over the past 2–3 years, and while this time wasn’t the best, everyone still got to see it. That classic “Where? There!” moment never gets old—still exciting every time!
要好好看到这只鸟变得越来越有挑战性了，但我们轻松随意的观鸟的一天，尽然遇上它。过去两三年里我们也发现了几对不错的个体，这次虽然不是最佳观赏时机，但大家还是都看到了那只鸟。“在哪？在那里！”客人每次遇上这鸟的对词。

– another main target of the short trip, it is close and fast .. all of us saw the bird .. but sad my buddies didn’t got the picture of it feeding on “fruit” (think my first time saw this bird eat fruit) …
– the bird moving fast and inside dark bush, 2 of the Z9 failed to got the bird in focus 🙁 lucky me with new R5markii , if bring mark 1 may be also dont have this best moment of this rare bird
– 与朋友的几天，主要目标之一。这鸟来的蛮近的。可是有入常态，动很快，在暗的地方动。朋友们Z9都没办法对上焦（在这站了好几秒大家都看到）。幸好佳能R5Mark ii 好好表现还是对上了几张。这鸟非常害羞，稀有。非常不容易拍照，还加上第一次看到它吃果子（通常吃昆虫）.

– 我本身最喜爱马来西亚鸟之一。虽然不是特别稀有，可是就太活跃+通常站很高所以都不容易看的很好。 可是今天，我有朋友DAVID 竟然遇上这么3只在我们面前10-15尺占了蛮久。

– 等了一天，还是没等到鳞背鹇公鸟。在我们决定回酒店前，听到这鸟叫。等了也蛮久，我们也决定去吃晚餐。突然我见到这鸟飞到我们停车的方向，我跑了过去。没很久，我就找到他了。很可爱哦。真的是很好的安慰奖。

It’s a rainy day, and a few birds are perched on a tree. I quickly enable “pre-continuous shooting” and adjust the settings to the maximum speed possible at ISO 25600 and F7.1—1/1600s. Hoping for the best, I got lucky, and the shot of the bird flying down turned out well.
这是一个下雨天，几只鸟停留在树上。我迅速开启“预连续拍摄”模式，并将设置调整到 ISO 25600、F7.1 下的最高速度——1/1600 秒。抱着一丝希望，幸运的是，拍到了一张鸟儿俯冲的精彩瞬间。

A fairly common resident species in Borneo, but sightings have become less frequent lately. That bright orange crown makes it absolutely unmistakable!
这是一种婆罗洲常见的留鸟，但最近出现得比较少。头顶鲜艳的橙色非常醒目，不会和其他鸟搞混！

Just returned from a very special birding trip. My guest, Jonathan, had high expectations for bird photography. Although we didn’t see or photograph a large number of species, it was still a rewarding and memorable experience for both of us.
We stayed mobile throughout the trip, adjusting plans based on bird activity and Jonathan’s target species. One highlight was our determination to get a better shot of the Crimson-headed Partridge—which led to an unforgettable moment. A normally shy and fast-moving wren-babbler suddenly came into the open and stayed there, calling non-stop for almost 10 minutes! This species usually disappears after 1–2 seconds, so it was truly a rare and special encounter.
刚刚结束了一次非常特别的摄鸟之旅。我的客人 Jonathan 对鸟类摄影有很高的要求。虽然这次看到和拍到的鸟不算多，但对我们来说却是一次非常有意义和难忘的经历。
整个行程我们都很灵活，随时根据鸟况和目标进行调整。其中一个亮点是为了拍到更好画面的红头林鹧鸪，我们坚持尝试，结果却遇到一个惊喜时刻——一只平时非常活跃和害羞的鹪鹛，居然走到开阔处，站着不停鸣叫了接近10分钟！这鸟通常只会出现1–2秒，能这样近距离长时间观察，实在是太幸运了。

Finally got my photo lifer for Sabah! This bird has always been tricky—I had seen it twice before but never had the chance to photograph it. Today, I heard its unique call, and not long after, it came in silently and stood in the shadows. What a stunning bird!
终于在沙巴拍到这只鸟，算是我的照片首拍了！这只鸟一直很难见到，我之前看过两次，但都没机会拍照。今天听到它特别的叫声，不久它就静静地出现了，站在阴影里。太漂亮了！

We were searching for a special target, but this bird unexpectedly showed up and stayed in the open for over 10 minutes! Interestingly, both the previous and next tours spent so much time trying to get a clear view of it. What an incredible bird when seen up close!
我们原本是在寻找另一只特别目标鸟，但这只鸟却意外地出现在我们面前，而且还在开阔处停留了超过10分钟！有趣的是，我们前一团和后一团都花了很多时间才勉强看到它。近距离观察时，真的非常漂亮的一只鸟！

It’s quite funny—this bird gave us such a hard time in our previous tours, but this time, she just showed up right in front of us while we were focusing on another target! And she stayed at the same spot like she was taking a nap!
Unfortunately, I told my friend to check the same spot later… but no sign of the bird at all!
真的很搞笑，以前行程中这只“小姐”一直很难见到，但这次我们在等另一目标鸟时，她就突然出现在我们面前！而且像在睡觉一样一直待在同一个地方！
可惜的是，我跟朋友说了这个点，他后来去了同一个地方……结果鸟没出现！

While we looking for a few target species, this bird was one we really hoped to see. Luckily, we heard its call from a distance, and it flew in close enough for us to photograph this beautiful endemic.
当我们在找一些目标鸟种，但这只鸟是我们非常期待看到的。幸运的是，我们从远处听到了它的叫声，它还飞到我们附近，让我们有机会拍下这只美丽的特有种。

I still remember the early days when we worked hard to photograph this beautiful Bornean endemic. Back then, it felt special to get a clean shot. At Kinabalu National Park, the bird is quite used to people, giving great photo opportunities. Nowadays, though, there are many reliable spots where you can get good views and photos of this stunning bird.
还记得当年我们为了拍这只美丽的婆罗洲特有鸟费了不少功夫。在京那巴鲁国家公园，它对人类非常习惯，常常能很好地拍到。如今，有很多“点位”都可以轻松拍到这只漂亮的特有鸟。
