– 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。

####
– it is one of the beautiful non black-and-white forktail here .. beautiful and shy as usual .. not that difficult to see it near the stream.
– 马来西亚蛮漂亮的燕尾,也是唯一不是黑+白的。蛮害羞,在溪边蛮容易看到的。

#
update 202211
– a long story short of the chick seem force to be fledged earlier than what it suppose. At the side with guests, the chick can’t even walk well.
– we keep distance to monitor, the parent keep feeding the chick and hope it can survive.
– 雏鸟还没成熟出巢。可是太多因素,它要提早出来。我们下午在河边遇到这鸟时。走路都还不稳。我们在哪观察了一会,只有祝福它可以安全成长。

One of Malaysia’s shyer birds—still remember how we used to rely on a hide in Selangor years ago just to get decent photos. But this time at Danum Valley, they came incredibly close to us—no hiding needed! Not just one, but around four birds came in for a great photo session. 😄
这是马来西亚比较害羞的鸟之一,还记得多年前在雪兰莪时,我们还需要搭伪装棚才能拍到好照片。没想到这次在丹浓谷,它们竟然主动走近我们!而且不是一只,大约有四只不断靠近,让我们尽情拍照 😄

这是在京那巴鲁国家公园美好的一上午——我们几乎看到了所有目标鸟种。随后决定碰碰运气寻找燕尾,除了这只害羞的小鸟,我们之后还幸运地遇见了红头山鹧鸪!

The weather shortened our trip to KNP, but we were lucky to spot most of the endemics with great views. For example, this shy forktail was just about 10 meters away and stayed for a while, giving us a perfect pose!

“Short North-Thailand trip goals achieved! 😊 On our river adventure, our guide asked if we wanted to spot the elusive Black-backed Forktail. I said why not? 🤔 What followed was pure patience-testing magic! 🙄 We waited on a rock, and with some playback, the bird kept coming back for more… giving us an epic photo op 📸. Not sure who got the perfect shot, but I’m pretty sure C got it and the others got zilch 😂👍.”
“非常短暂北泰国之行的目标达成了!😊 在河边冒险时,我们的导游问我们是否想看看罕见的黑背燕尾。我说为什么不呢? 🤔 接下来就是纯粹的考验耐心的时刻!🙄 我们在岩石上等待了一会儿,播放了一些鸟叫声后,鸟儿不断飞回来,让我们拍到了绝佳的照片 📸。不知道谁拍到了完美的一刻,但我肯定C拍到了,而其他人则是零收获 👍。”

4. Bat Hawk, 食蝠鸢, 食蝠鳶,Macheiramphus alcinus, コウモリダカ, Helang Malam
– small raptor which normally catches pray at dusk
– It is named for its diet, which consists mainly of bats.
swift-like raptor with angular wings and a massive gape; capable of snatching prey from the air and devouring it in a flash while still on the wing. Dark with varying amounts of white on the underside; African birds have patchy white throughout the underparts, while white is restricted to the throat and lower belly on New Guinean birds and solely to the throat in Southeast Asian birds. Inactive during the day; hunts at dawn and dusk, and occasionally into the night if light is sufficient. Generally uncommon and localized, most reliably encountered near large bat roosts in forested areas, but can also be seen over open forest, fields, and fringes of habitation. (ebird)
中型猎鹰,总体黑色,在胸部有少许白斑。一般在夜间活动,主要特征是嘴裂较大,可在飞行中吞食昆虫和蝙蝠。

– medium size raptor, male very beautiful as name Pied .. black and white
– normally fly low near the ground for prey
update 20250101
My year-end birding tradition often takes me to the paddy fields in search of winter visitors. If I recall correctly, my buddy and I were waiting for some warblers when, out of nowhere, this raptor flew in, staring right at us! But no—it wasn’t us it was focused on. The Purple Heron caught its attention, flying between us and the harrier. I couldn’t help but wonder what the harrier was thinking as it kept its eyes on the heron for quite a distance.
年末观鸟的习惯通常会带我到稻田寻找冬季候鸟。如果没记错的话,当时我和朋友正在等待一些莺类,突然这只猛禽飞了进来,直盯着我们!但不,它的注意力并不在我们身上,而是被紫鹭吸引了。紫鹭飞过我们和鹞鹰之间,而鹞鹰一路都紧盯着紫鹭,不禁让我好奇它到底在想什么。

This is a species that’s not always easy to see at Tangkoko, but on this trip, we were lucky to encounter it twice — including an eye-level view and even a flight shot as it came toward us!
这是一种在Tangkoko不常见的鸟种,但这次我们非常幸运地见到两次,其中一次还是在平视角度,甚至拍到了它飞向我们的画面!

This is one of those birds that always seems to ignore me—despite being a common Sulawesi endemic, I’ve only seen it 2–3 times over the years. This time, it finally showed up, though only briefly above our heads. Still, a lovely species to enjoy!
这是一只总是“无视”我的鸟,虽然是苏拉威西常见的特有种,但这些年来我也只见过两三次。这次终于又见到了,虽然只是短暂地停在我们头顶上方。依然是非常可爱的苏拉威西特有鸟种!

Every birder has their own focus—you can always tell what a birder is watching, even if something else exciting is happening nearby! 😄
In this moment, both the bird and the lions were locked onto what interested them—a group of lions feeding, which is why the vulture flew in and waited nearby.
We were lucky to see it land and stay on the ground right in front of us.
每个观鸟人都有自己的关注点,哪怕旁边发生着很精彩的事,也能一眼看出他们在看什么 😄
这次是秃鹫和狮子都专注于同一个目标——一群正在进食的狮子。
这就是为什么秃鹫飞过来并在地面等待的原因。
很幸运它飞过来后就停在我们面前,给了我们很好的拍照机会。

We waited quite a while hoping the Silver Cat would come out from its “nest,” but eventually gave up and only got a few head shots. Just as the car started moving, I spotted a large raptor flying nearby and asked the driver to reverse. At first, we took some record shots through the window glass. Then, due to a small miscommunication with the driver, we ended up stopping just about 5 meters from the bird—resulting in this amazing close-up!
I really enjoy seeing vultures up close.
我们原本等了很久,希望能看到银猫从它的“巢穴”出来,但最后只拍到一些头部特写就放弃了。就在车子开始移动的时候,我看到一只大型猛禽飞过,马上让司机倒车。开始时我们隔着车窗拍了几张记录照,后来因为和司机的一个小误会,结果车停在距离这只鸟大约5米的地方,意外得到了这张超近的精彩照片!
我真的很喜欢近距离看秃鹫。
