It is our final day at Fraser’s Hill. Surprisingly, this bird appeared just a few meters away from us. It stayed at a perfect angle, allowing everyone to enjoy a wonderful view. It was a lucky moment for us all.

这是我们在福隆港的最后一天。惊喜的是，这只鸟就在距离我们几米远的地方出现，并且停在一个极佳的角度，让我们能够清晰地观赏。这对我们所有人来说都是一个幸运时刻。

Update 202606

Like in my other sharings, I always enjoy showing what birding looks like today. There’s no absolute right or wrong way—whether it’s through feeding or simply walking, listening, and observing, the joy of birding is what matters. In this final sharing session, we came across this active and noisy bird—quite uncommon, especially to photograph!

就像我其他的分享一样，我一直很喜欢向大家展示我们现在的观/摄鸟方式。没有绝对的对或错——不论是用喂食方式引鸟，还是单纯地靠走路、聆听和观察，观鸟的乐趣才是最重要的。在这最后一场分享中，我们遇到了一只活跃又吵的鸟——非常少见，尤其是能拍到照片更是不容易！

Getting a look from above eye level makes it completely obvious how it got its name: the Bare-headed Laughingthrush. Now, time to rest for a day and get ready for the next new adventure soon.

#####

update 202605

This was easily one of the highlights of our recent Borneo birding trip with some close friends from Taiwan. Even though the group was very active, this individual stayed close enough to give everyone a perfect photo opportunity. I really hope to encounter this stunning bird again soon.

这是最近与几位台湾好友进行婆罗洲观鸟快闪行中最美好的时刻之一。尽管这群鸟依然非常活跃，但它停留在离我们很近的地方，让每个人都有机会拍到照片。希望很快能再次见到这种美丽的鸟类。

#####

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。

#####

update 202506

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。

#####

update 202409

– one of my best moment of 2029, this bird stay close and one of best view of this bird

– 我的2029最好的一刻，这鸟站这个位置真的最好角度看这鸟。

#####

– 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）.

#####

update 202408

– before archive the folder, make another picture one of best moment of 2024. This bird stand here more than 3 minutes … making call.. looking at us ..such a handsome

– 在我删掉7月的图片前，还是分享多一张。2024最美好的一刻。这么英俊的鸟站那3-4分钟。好看啊。

#####

update 202407

– one of my favorite birds of Malaysia, it is not that rare just too active to have good view. But when lucky strike, me and David enjoy few minutes of best moment with this bird .. amazing bird to look at

– 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。

#####

update 20240108

– a bird always highly wanted by birder, active, canopy bird… a bird that always heard or brief view rather than good view

– 几乎全部鸟人（摄，观都一样）都非常希望看到，拍到这一只婆罗洲特有种。可是通都是高高在上，黑黑一只。

CANON EOS 5DSR vs 5DS

when we have option, we tend to choose from which is better … better in term of? It come to my mind too , which one to pick and why …. while my Photohunter Tour 2015 Bali , I managed to have both camera with me and have a quick test … but the test as usual a basic test on common interest … more details ? site effect ?

both camera

– ISO100,200,400,800,1600,3200 (also have higher test)

– F16

– MF on the front boat (100% crop picture)

– 2s timer shooting

– M mode

– Auto WB

– CANON EF 24-70 F2.8 II len use

– ACR save pictures , Highlight -21, Shadow 11, Clarity +30 ONLY , Vibrance +10, Saturation +5, no noise reduction, no sharpen

#######################################################

ISO100 for both camera

====> 100% crop at focus point

====> 100%crop with ACR Shadow recovery 100 (MAX)

CANON 5Dsr vs 5Ds | ISO 100 | CROP 100 | Shadow recovery 100

##################################################

various ISO test image as below

##################################################

Both camera give much more details compare to previous CANON EOS 5dm3 and it make big different among these 2 cameras (may be you can look at the full size of JPEG for further comment). but 5Dsr just give slight more extra details, contrast but where we almost not noticeable . and not much Moire effect appear over few days testing. may be in future if I notice and will be posting here too

###############################################################################

CANON EOS 5DSR vs 5Dm3

CANON EOS 5Dsr Shadow recovery

August 20, 2015August 24, 2015

CANON EOS 5Dsr vs SONY A7r2

I did a quick and simple test on both new camera that come with big megapix … CANON 5Dsr and SONY A7r2 … both camera use the same len which is CANON EF TS-E 17mm F4 (SONY A7r2 with Viltrox Adapter) , same filter Lee Filter GND .4h and HAIDA 100mmx100mm CPL

we did not use same tripod but put both site by site so the view slight different by ~5 degree different …

both camera

– ISO100

– F13

– MF on the bridge end

– timer shooting

– M mode

– Auto WB

– ACR save pictures , contrast +5, Clarity +10 ONLY .. and no noise reduction

###########################################################

1. ISO 100 for both

—> 100% crop picture

CANON 5Dsr vs SONY A7r2 ISO800 100% crop

2.4 ISO1600

CANON 5Dsr vs SONY A7r2 ISO1600 100% crop

*** I do not share any higher than ISO1600 as we can see the quality have been drop since ISO800 … and I think I would limit my use ~1600 for important photo.

Overall , here are some different for me .. (for landscape photography concern)

1. 5Dsr weight ~845 gram vs ~625 gram

2. tilt screen on SONY A7r2

3. Battery life 5Dsr is longer but it is different size

4. both ISO performance about the same (without noise reduction) , 5Dsr have slight more noise and details over ISO800 and about same for under ISO800

5. Shadow and high recovery both perform same .. 100% shadow recovery show acceptable result .

6. SONY seem lost orange/red tone , give more cold color

7. both give good details , and at highlight area CANON give more info

ORIGINAL picture

original under exposure picture ~3-4stops

camera shooting exposure close to recover previous exposure picture

100% crop of the camera shoot correct exposure vs recover picture

recovery picture 100% crop with noise reduction

– the shadow recovery seem to be working good even ~3-4 stops under .. and the picture show without any noise reduction except last picture with noise reduction “10” @ACR

– picture all open and process only at ACR 9.1

– from the almost total dark picture , the picture able to recover without many color noise, and with a lot of details on the object …

This bird is the White-fronted Falconet (Microhierax latifrons). It is indeed a Bornean endemic, with its range almost entirely restricted to the northern and eastern parts of the island, primarily within Sabah.

Interestingly, while you mentioned a “bright rufous” forehead, this is actually a key identification feature for females and juveniles of this species; adult males have a pure white forehead.

沙巴最特别的鸟类之一！白额小隼（White-fronted Falconet）是婆罗洲特有种，其分布范围几乎仅限于岛屿东北部的沙巴地区。

虽然它们是凶猛的猛禽，但正面看向我们时，那酷似熊猫的脸庞显得格外呆萌。我们非常有幸地目击到了一个六只小隼组成的家族：其中包括两只成鸟和四只幼鸟(额头上都带有该品种标志性的鲜艳棕红色)。

It was a hot afternoon, and we were just trying our luck to see some target species—nothing came close. But we were lucky to spot this Borneo endemic. Even though it wasn’t the best angle, we’re still happy to see it.

这是一个炎热的下午，我们只是碰碰运气看能不能遇到目标鸟种，但一直没有鸟靠近。幸运的是，这只婆罗洲特有种出现了，虽然角度不是最好，但能看到它还是很开心。

– a very tiny special Endemic of Sabah. Cute and normal stand high up to look for prey

– another lucky came to this spot normally just for “bird seeing” which the small bird just stand 30-40m above from ground .. but when we arrive and looking for this bird just for bird watch. But after I walk around, I call everyone down it is low !!!! and 2 together ..

– 非常小，可爱的特别的沙巴特有种。通常站高高为了看猎物。

– 这一次，因为迟了行程。没办法的到看鸟的点看看这鸟。拍个记录，可是当我走下车找这鸟时。看到一对战的非常的很不错，立刻叫大家下来。

– it is weird this bird seem disappear from all common sites, especially almost not found at Danum Valley BRL, Kinabatangan River and etc… but this family found quite near to KK town ..any how, due to location, not all visit can be make there but for last special targets tour. We special arrange to be there and award with 2 in one frame

– 疫情后，很奇怪。这鸟几乎消失在之前的鸟点。在几个蛮出名的森林保护区都不容易见到。可是，几个比较稳的点都在城市/小镇附近。因为地点问题，我们不是每次都会去看/拍这鸟。这一次，特别目标鸟图包含这只小猛禽。我们特别安排时间去拍。去到不久就看到2只站一起的画面。。。。。。

update 202305

– after missed the Crimson-Headed partridge at common spot (after wait of ~1 hour), decided to continue to KNP and found this lovely tiny raptor. only with 500mm so it is a bit heavy crop but love to see it doing good and with lovely butterfly

– 在普通的红头林鹧鸪点等了～1个小时，鸟没出现。我们直上神山，幸运的我们尽然看到这鸟捉了蝴蝶去喂小孩。因为没准备好，只用了500 焦段。裁截了蛮多的。

####

– it is surprise to see it at this elevation again and this time not that high up at canopy, but backlit with quite a lot of shadow and highlight recovery.

– very cute bird as usual. look like a Panda

– 第二次在这么高海拔见到它还要站的不是太高。。可是背光太厉害，后期用了点时间。

– 非常可爱的小熊猫。

– fastest bird of the world

– Found across the globe; considerable plumage variation across subspecies

(ebird)

update 202104

– we were actually searching the shorebirds near the beach and all of sudden all birds take off and we found this world’s faster bird dive down and trying to hunt the Lesser Sand Plover but it failed… and again it trying to hunt for another 2x Curlew Sandpiper but it failed again and leave without any success.

– it really dives down and flying all direction fast and make many frames out of focus. It can reach over 320 km/h while diving for hunting.

*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peregrine_falcon

– 我们在看水鸟。突然间，全部鸟都起飞。我们看到这世界上飞最快的鸟来了个突袭可是连捕捉3只鸟都不成功。

– 这鸟飞的真快。我又用了较长的焦段，错过很多很好的一幕。在追捕猎物时，速度可以到达 320km/h.

update 202604

This is a truly unique falcon. It has a very fixed routine when leaving its nest. We visited twice, and it followed the exact same method and path both times. It is absolutely amazing to see. This was my first time learning that falcons can nest in tree holes.

这是一只长相奇特的隼。它出巢的路线非常固定。我们去了两次，它都以同样的方式和路径出现。真是太神奇了。这也是我第一次知道隼会在树洞里筑巢。
