– common found from lowland up to 1000+- m from SEA level

– move fast around the tree

update 202406

– a bird that normally active, moving fast and high on tree trunk… as usual this is fast and active … but we saw it just ~5-7 feet from use .. a great view of this bird ..

– 通常这活跃的小鸟终是在树身上移动很快。如常还是很快,可是这次很近(5-7尺)。还是近距离看鸟爽。

This marks my final Malaysia tour for 2025, and once again, it came with its own unique challenges—just like 3 out of my last 4 tours.

This time, the guest had limited mobility, making it difficult to walk or even adjust position to look for our main targets. Despite that, luck was on our side. While simply sitting in a chair, this beautiful bird came in close and gave us a wonderful photo opportunity!

这是我2025年最后一个马来西亚行程了,又是一个充满挑战的旅程——最近4个行程中有3个都遇到不同的挑战。

这次的客人行动不便,几乎无法走动,甚至连转身调整拍摄角度都很困难,靠走路寻找目标鸟也几乎不可能。幸运的是,运气站在我们这边——就在他坐在椅子上时,这只美丽的鸟儿竟然靠近我们,给了我们一次精彩的拍摄机会!

202510, Fraser Hill, Pahang, Malaysia

update 202406

– a good season for this beautiful bird ? when we having ours Canon-Gitzo Photography sharing session, we saw this 2 days in the row and actually heard it more than twice while we have quite limited time for the birding.

– an active & beautiful bird that not that rare but just need some luck to see it.

– 非常活跃,漂亮的小鸟。不稀有,因为小活跃。也是属于群体活动(与其他鸟)遇上这鸟需要点运气。

– 在我们2天1夜佳能+捷信摄影分享营。见到2次+听到4-5次。可能季节到了?

202406, Bukit Fraser, Pahang, Malaysia

#####

update 202303

– a tour with some main target birds, Blue Nuthatch is one of the main target. After 2 days trying, finally had a good look at 3 birds.

– 这一团有些指定目标鸟。这蓝䴓是最重要之一。幸好,在福隆港第2天终于看到这么漂亮的小鸟。

202304, Pahang, Malaysia

update 20221030

– a lucky morning, due to some reason. Guests decided fly back to home before tour end. But lucky morning before any rain, humid. got This beautiful bird, Lesser Yellownape, Bay Woodpecker and others just not far after we drive.

– as usual fast moving bird but with the new AI AF, most the frame lock focus on the head/eye of this tiny and fast bird.

– 幸运的一个早上。客人因私人原因需要提早飞回澳洲。可是,上天还是让他们见到这特别的鸟。

– 一样小而快的小鸟。幸好新的佳能对焦能力大部分都是对焦到头部/眼部

This bird was surprisingly tame at Potatso National Park. It even hopped along the boardwalk like a little tour guide leading us on our walk. Many of them were feeding in the trees too, and honestly, I much prefer this pose compared to the ones “walking” on the boardwalk.

在普达措国家公园,这种鸟对人非常友善。它甚至在栈道上跳来跳去,像个小导游一样带着我们走。不过也有很多在树上觅食的,说实话,我更喜欢这种姿态,而不是在栈道上“散步”的样子。

Platylophidae series: JayShrike | 冠鸦 | liewwk Nature – 1 [update 20260225]

Only one but both Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo having 2 different colors, size same species of bird

1. Crested Jayshrike, 冠鸦, 馬來冠鴉, Platylophus galericulatus, カンムリカケス, BURUNG-MENJERIT
######################################################

For Peninsula Malaysia a blackbird that loves to moving fast in the forest …. we make a trip just for this bird .. but found out it is not really active but was lucky it appear for food just 10-15min before we leaving … ~33cm

For Borneo ~28cm , smaller . Brownish color but behave same, moving fast and making a lot of noise.

1. Crested Jayshrike, 冠鸦, 馬來冠鴉, Platylophus galericulatus, カンムリカケス, BURUNG-MENJERIT

update 202602

Had an incredible time birding with a patient group from Canada. After a quiet start at our first stop, we headed deeper into the National Park. Suddenly, I caught a familiar call—I couldn’t help but shout, ‘Jayshrike!’ We got so lucky when it flew out and perched right in front of us. What a spectacular view, absolutely brilliant!
今天与来自加拿大的耐心鸟友们共度了一段美好时光。在第一站略显沉闷的开局后,我们继续向国家公园深处进发。突然间,我听到了那个熟悉的鸣叫声,兴奋地大喊:‘冠鸦!’ 真是太幸运了,它直接飞到我们面前停歇。那画面太美了,简直是完美的瞬间。

update 202508

Another very special tour—so happy we managed to see this unique monotypic species (one of the three target species in Malaysia) with great views! We did struggle a bit with the Rail-babbler though… it hasn’t responded at all for the past 1.5 days. Fingers crossed we’ll have better luck in the next two days!

又是一次特别的行程,我们很幸运地清楚看到这个独特的单种鸟类(马来西亚目标鸟种之一,共三个)。不过在寻找白眉长颈鸫还是很不活跃,过去一天半都没有回应。希望接下来两天能更幸运!

202508. Lenggor, Johor, Malaysia

update 202505

It was so exciting to hear this just as we were leaving Fraser’s Hill. In our group, three of us are seriously working on seeing bird families around the world, and although we had three sightings during the tour, this one gave us the best view—perhaps even better than the one at Sungai Relau. Plus, I managed to get a photo of this one. Such a lovely bird!

我们正要离开福隆港时听到这个消息,真是太令人兴奋了!我们小组中有三位成员正认真致力于观赏世界各地的鸟类家族。虽然这次行程中我们有过三次目击记录,但这一次的观赏视角是最好的——甚至可能比Sg Relau的那次还要棒。而且,这次我还拍到了照片。真是一只可爱的鸟!

202505, Fraser Hill, Selangor, Malaysia

update 202408

– finally all 5 special 2 bird family tours done for Rail-Babbler & this Jayshrike .. this year lucky to have 100% . This bird normally quite straight forward but it missing for the 1st day and only heard but without show us . Day2, early morning when we step down from car, immediate I heard the call within 2 minutes we got the bird and Bingo !!

– 今年最后一次特别鸟团(都是来看2只特别鸟,白眉长颈鸫+冠鸦)。今年很快的就要过了。5次100%达标,蛮顺利。这冠鸦,通常很容易。可是第一天完全没机会看到,就听了几声。还好第二天,一下车就听到。还不到2种就看到拍打。多么幸运。

 

 

#####

update 202406

endemicguides Birds Report – 2016 May 16

We have day trip due to full schedule , original plan was going Fraser Hill but on the way.. it is tree fall down which block our way up and we make quick decision travel back to KRAU forest and may be quick one for Genting Highlands … we have total 65 species view and ~40 lifers for guest … with both Silver Breasted Broadbill and Rail Babbler clear view make the happy day .

Our reach is 9am which is slight late but we are doing very good in the morning 9am-1pm which we have 42 species and wonderful and clear view of RAIL Babbler …

One fantastic Bird Nest… Whiskered Treeswift, 白眉须树燕 | liewwk

Whiskered Treeswift,is one beautiful bird always perch high up and not easy to get beautiful photo. It has very cute, fantastic, amazing nest … single egg, single chick hold on small nest as show

 

 

白眉须树燕 , 小鳳頭樹燕 一只美丽的鸟,总是栖息很高。。所以不容易得到漂亮的照片。它有一个非常可爱,梦幻,神奇的窝……一粒鸡蛋,小鸟就放在这个
