– a very tiny Woodpecker, overall brown and white. Which normally found near mangrove, nearby river bank.

– common small, rufous woodpecker with pair

– male with red cheek and female don’t

update 202411

– One of the most common woodpeckers in Malaysia, this species can be found in a variety of environments—lowlands, mangroves, sub-montane forests, and even urban areas. Its overall rufous coloration makes it hard to miss.

– While testing the Canon R1’s “Continuous Pre-recording” feature, the bird was perched as usual. I half-pressed the shutter to activate Pre-recording, and only fully pressed it when the bird took off from the branch. Every frame of the action was captured in full RAW and saved to my card.

– 这是马来西亚最常见的啄木鸟之一，分布于低地、红树林、亚山地森林，甚至城市等各种环境。它整体呈赤褐色，非常显眼，不容易错过。

– 在测试佳能 R1 的“连续预录”功能时，这只鸟像往常一样站在树枝上。我半按快门开启预录功能，直到鸟从树枝起飞时才完全按下快门。整个动作的每一帧都被完整记录为 RAW 格式并存储在卡中。

#####

update 202410

– a very common lowland forest, mangrove, sub-montane woodpecker. Overall rufous which difficult to miss this bird.

– it is a special out to test the R1, may be I am already start use the “Pre-capture” long ago .. (those Olympus old time, Panasonic etc) for me to captured this kind of “trap focus” “jumping” picture is very easy … now Canon finally come with proper Pre-capture and improve it with … “continous Pre-capture” ..mean it is almost every half-press is a pre capture .. as long as control well the buffer…  I hope I can find a better way to share to all of this about this “Best feature” to have for Wildlife Photography

– 这鸟蛮普通几乎在红树林，低海拔，中海拔森林都容易看到。棕色的鸟不难错过。

– 在这几天，我是在想办法记录下“我想大家知道R1 的强大”。。。其中一环是“预拍”。这功能在很久以前我一开始用，在Olympus, Panasonic 可能在10年前就开始有这个很好的功能。有这功能后，拍摄“陷阱对焦”的“起飞跳”降落“ 几乎都没难读。可是这次，佳能的是绝对加强版的“预拍”。。。之前我们拍后都要等上好几秒相机才可以继续使用。可是这次，佳能的是“连续预拍”只要控制好。几乎每一刻都是预拍的。（可是卡可是要大大的，不然很快就卡满）。。还在努力中要怎么呈现我想表达。

– One of the common woodpeckers found in Malaysia’s mangroves, this species stands out with its pale eyes, distinguishing it from the common Flameback.

– I’m thoroughly enjoying the new Continuous Pre-recording feature on the Canon R1. It virtually guarantees capturing the exact moment an action begins, without missing a beat. In this instance, I half-pressed the shutter before the bird moved, and once the action started, a full press ensured that the preceding 0.5 seconds were already recorded. The camera seamlessly continues with AF tracking. Check out the JPEG movie clips shared in the link for a closer look!

– 在马来西亚红树林中常见的一种啄木鸟，这个物种以其淡色眼睛而著称，与小金背三趾啄木鸟有所不同。

– 我非常喜欢佳能 R1 新推出的连续预录功能，它几乎可以确保捕捉到动作开始的瞬间，不会错过任何细节。在这个例子中，我在鸟开始动作前半按快门，一旦动作开始，全按快门，前0.5秒的画面已经记录在卡上，且相机会继续进行自动对焦跟踪。可以通过链接中的 JPEG 视频片段一览精彩画面！

501. Rufous-necked Wryneck, 红胸蚁䴕, 褐頸蟻鴷, Jynx ruficollis, ムネアカアリスイ

Odd and distinctive member of the woodpecker family. Shows a rufous throat in all plumages, though reduced in juveniles. The underparts vary geographically: they are completely rufous in Ethiopian birds, and the throat is barred in some populations. Flight is undulating, like a typical woodpecker. Found locally in cultivated areas, gardens, woodland, forest edge, and grassland with some trees. Usually in pairs. Call is a loud, ringing series of “kwee” notes. Similar to Eurasian Wryneck, but easily separated by the rufous throat. [Ebird]

一种奇特且独特的啄木鸟科成员。无论处于何种羽色阶段，其喉部始终呈赤褐色，但幼鸟的颜色较淡。其腹部颜色因地理位置而异：埃塞俄比亚的个体腹部完全为赤褐色，而部分种群的喉部带有横斑。飞行方式呈波浪状，与典型的啄木鸟相似。主要栖息于农耕区、花园、林地、森林边缘以及零星分布树木的草原地带，通常成对活动。鸣叫声为一连串响亮清脆的“kwee”音。与欧亚拟啄木鸟相似，但其赤褐色喉部使其易于区分。

update 202502

601. Necklaced Woodpecker, 赤胸啄木鸟, Dryobates pernyii

 

update 202504

Birding in Yunnan, China last December was incredibly easy. We simply chose a hide, settled in, and waited—and sure enough, the birds came! In fact, there were so many, it was just a matter of picking which ones to photograph. We specifically came to this hide hoping to see the woodpecker, but we were also treated to a few star species like the Great Barbet, Slender-billed Scimitar-Babbler, and more.

去年十二月在中国云南观鸟非常轻松。我们只需要选一个拍鸟棚，坐下来静静等待——果然，鸟儿纷纷出现！鸟的数量之多，让我们只需挑选想拍的目标。我们专程来到这个棚子是为了拍那只啄木鸟，但同时也幸运地见到了几种明星鸟类，比如大拟啄木鸟、剑嘴鹛等。
