– one of my favorite birds of Malaysia, it is small, cute, active and lovely bird. It always moving with wing span open. But it almost invisible by naked eye.
– with the new canon Pre-continuous Shooting function, simple when see the bird stay still, half-press shutter .. and when see the wing open or move press the shutter .. than anything happen in before .5s will be record as raw into camera .. make this kind of picture simple
– 马来西亚最喜爱的鸟之一。快，可爱，活跃。他随时动的时候都会吧翅膀张开。要拍这个真的不容易。
– 可是佳能的新R5markii 预拍功能把这种情况容易的拍下。只要看到鸟站好，半按下快门键。等它动的时候，再按下快门。任何发生半秒前的都会拍下。就这么容易。

101. Scaly-breasted Cupwing, 鳞胸鹪鹛, 大鱗胸鷦鶥, Pnoepyga albiventer, ヒメサザイチメドリ
Adorable tiny bird that loosely resembles a minute tailless wren. Warm dark brown above with rufous overtones, and scaled below; pale-morph birds have white edgings to black “scales,” while dark-morph birds have edgings that are coffee-stain tan. Smaller Pygmy Cupwing lacks the tan spots speckling the crown and neck of Scaly-breasted. Scaly-breasted inhabits dark, damp areas in dense forest, often around boulders, streams, and ravines. Song is a jumbled series of high-pitched melodic warbles, notably more complex than the song of Pygmy Cupwing. [Ebird]
可爱的小鸟，外形有点像一只没有尾巴的微型鹪鹩。上体为暖棕色，带有红褐色调，下体有鳞状纹；浅色型鸟黑色“鳞片”边缘为白色，而深色型鸟则为咖啡色边缘。与小棕林鸲相比，鳞胸棕林鸲的头顶和颈部缺乏棕色斑点。鳞胸棕林鸲栖息于浓密森林中阴暗潮湿的区域，通常出现在巨石、溪流和峡谷附近。鸣唱是一连串高音调的悦耳啁啾，比小鹪鹛的鸣声更复杂。

On our last day in Baihualing, we spotted two distinctly different tiny, tailless birds. At a distance of about 10-15 meters, I initially assumed they were the same Pygmy Cupwing. However, upon reviewing the captured photos, it was clear they were different species.
Knowing their behavior of spreading their wings when moving, I enabled Continuous Pre-record mode and pressed the shutter the moment the bird moved. Got it!
在白花岭的最后一天，我们发现了两只明显不同的小型无尾鸟。由于距离大约在10-15米，我起初以为它们是同一种小鳞胸鹪鹛。然而，当查看拍摄的照片时，发现它们明显是不同的物种。
了解到它们在移动时会张开翅膀的行为特点，我启用了连续预录模式，并在鸟儿移动的瞬间按下快门。抓拍成功！
