One of the most common montane birds in Borneo—males shine in bright red, while females glow in yellow. After a long wait for another target species, this male finally stayed close, giving us a great view.

婆罗洲山地最常见的鸟种之一,雄鸟鲜红,雌鸟明黄。等待其他目标鸟许久后,这只雄鸟终于靠近,让我们好好欣赏了一番。

One of the most common yet stunning birds of Malaysia’s lowland forests. While it’s not frequently seen at RDC, we were lucky to have a few individuals feeding just a few meters away. The lovely female gave us a longer and closer view than the male — a real treat!

这是马来西亚低地雨林中非常常见又美丽的鸟类之一。虽然在RDC并不算常见,但我们很幸运地遇到几只在几米外进食。这只漂亮的雌鸟比雄鸟停留得更久也更靠近,真是一次难得的体验!

We had a wonderful, sunny day at Taman Negara Kuala Tahan and were treated to sightings of many incredible birds, including the Black-and-white Bulbul, Garnet Pitta, and Olive-backed Woodpecker. We encountered one particular species several times throughout the trip, including one memorable moment when it appeared right above my room.

我们在瓜拉大汉国家公园度过了一个大热天的日子,期间见到了许多优秀的鸟种,例如黑白鹎、红胸八色鸫和绿背三趾啄木鸟等。其中有一种鸟我们多次目击,有一次它甚至就出现在我房间的正上方。

update 202605

It is a rare treat to get a clear view of the Common Green-Magpie in Sabah. If I am not mistaken, this is my Sabah Photo Lifer! Although I have spotted them a few times around Kundasang and Tambunan before, I never managed to capture a proper photograph until today.
While I was scanning the area for a highly anticipated country lifer, this beautiful pair suddenly appeared. They stayed low and lingered long enough for me to take my time. They used to be such a common sight at Fraser’s Hill, but they have become noticeably scarcer over the last one to two years.
When this pair came down and spent some time just staring right back at me, I was so stunned that I froze and could barely react. For a split second, I even confused them with the Bornean Green-Magpie!
在沙巴能如此清晰地目击到 蓝绿鹊(Common Green-Magpie)实在非常难得。如果我没记错的话,这应该是我的“沙巴摄影新鸟种”(Sabah Photo Lifer)!以前在昆达山(Kundasang)和担布南(Tambunan)虽然见过几次,但一直没有机会拍到照片。
今天,正当我全神贯注地寻找期待已久的“国家新鸟种”(Country Lifer)时,竟然迎来了这对婆罗洲绿鹊。它们不仅停留在很低的低处,而且逗留了很久。以往在福隆港(Fraser’s Hill),它们是十分常见的鸟类,但这近一两年里也变得越来越少见了。
这对绿鹊停下来盯着我看了一阵子,那一刻我自己也突然懵了,完全反应不过来,甚至一度把它们误认成了婆罗洲绿鹊

This is one of the shy birds found here. Compared to the Bornean version—which lacks the white wing patch and is generally more tolerant of humans—this one tends to keep its distance.

A lucky morning with four birds coming in close—one of them even perched right at eye level for us!

 

在这里比较害羞的一种鸟类。相比婆罗洲的版本(没有白色翼斑,也不太怕人),这只明显更害羞一些。

– same metallic call, active, moving in group as the Black Magpie

– the Borneo one without the white on wing

– 与马来西亚西马的一样叫声,同群结队活动。与西马的差别,翅膀没白。

update 202503

It’s a noisy bird, but I always enjoy seeing it. It gives us great opportunities for photography, even though it’s just a plain black bird and not particularly striking. Its unique actions—like calling while moving its head up and down—make for special photo moments.

这是一只吵闹的鸟,但我总是很喜欢看到它。它为我们的摄影提供了很好的机会,尽管它只是一只普通的黑色鸟,外表并不特别吸引人。但它独特的动作——比如一边鸣叫一边上下摆动头部——让拍摄变得特别。

During a brief visit to RDC, we were scanning for birds to photograph when this one approached, making a noisy call. Suddenly, it flew toward us. Without hesitation, I pressed the shutter. Despite the low light in the forest and the high ISO, it still tracked well.

在短暂造访RDC时,我们正寻找可以拍摄的鸟类,这只鸟突然靠近并发出嘈杂的叫声。随后,它猛然飞向我们。我毫不犹豫地按下快门。尽管森林光线昏暗、ISO较高,但相机依然能够很好地追踪到它。

– 这鸟在Sepilok 几年前几乎很难见到。可是现在,几乎很难见不到的。这鸟与西马的几乎一样,体型,样子,叫声。就翅膀没白斑。

51. Sri Lanka Blue-Magpie, 斯里兰卡蓝鹊, 斯里蘭卡藍鵲, Urocissa ornata, セイロンサンジャク

A large, long-tailed blue bird with a white-tipped tail, and chestnut hood and wings. Inhabits humid forest from lowlands to hills, where it often accompanies mixed canopy flocks, either singly or in small groups. There are no other large, long-tailed blue birds in its range. A noisy species. Sounds typically a series of high-pitched, piercing “clink” calls, as well as some rasping “krak” notes often given in a sequence. [Ebird]

– a really weird colors combination endemic

斯里兰卡蓝鹊(学名:Urocissa ornata)是雀形目鸦科的一种鸟类,明显特征是全身颜色为亮丽的蓝色和栗色,这区别于其他蓝鹊。是斯里兰卡的特有鸟类

– we only saw this at Sinharaja, few of them normally moving together .. the colors bright, big bird but many would say the colors combination just weird

– 我们的10天行,只在辛哈拉加森林保护区见到。都好几只一起行动。很鲜艳,可是颜色搭配有点怪。

101. Eurasian Nutcracker, 星鸦, 星鴉, Nucifraga caryocatactes, ホシガラス

– a large bird making crow like sound, when it feeding sound like woodpecker drumming

– 蛮大只,叫的像鸦。17-18年前,我也拍过这鸟。很普通也不怕人,他在吃东西时像啄木鸟一样,啄木声。

update 20240106

– I am checking whats bird in the bird wave, this bird sudden fly down and feed infront of me just 10 feet away. when view close it look beautiful instead

– 我在鸟浪,这鸟突然飞在我前方大概10尺。在吃地上“果”.近距离看还是蛮美的。远看真的像有点白的乌鸦。

151. Sumatran Treepie, 马来树鹊, 蘇門答臘樹鵲, Dendrocitta occipitalis, シラガオナガ

– very common along the Tapan road, but just no luck to have better photo opportunity. Typical treepie call and big-long bird

update 202411

A long brown bird with a metallic-sounding call.

A relatively common Sumatran endemic, but slightly shy when approached for photographs. We were very fortunate to spot it resting and preening while searching for another target.

一只体型较长的棕色鸟,发出金属般的叫声。

一种相对常见的苏门答腊特有鸟类,但在靠近拍摄时显得有些害羞。我们很幸运在寻找其他目标时,发现它正在休息和梳理羽毛。

152. Sulawesi Crow, 苏拉威西乌鸦, 蘇拉威西烏鴉, Corvus celebensis

 

update 202507

This is a very common crow in Sulawesi, recently split from the Slender-billed Crow. With its new status as a separate species and a Sulawesi endemic, I made an extra effort on this trip to get better photos of it.

这是苏拉威西非常常见的一种乌鸦,最近刚从细嘴乌鸦中分出,成为独立物种。由于它现在是苏拉威西的特有种,这次行程我特地花时间拍了更好的照片。

501. White-throated Magpie-Jay, 白喉鹊鸦, 鵲鴉, Cyanocorax formosus, カンムリサンジャク

update 202603

This is one of those common yet incredibly beautiful birds to photograph. On the second day of our tour, we managed to spot it twice, capturing lovely moments both times. It is now day seven, and we have photographed 206 species. As we begin the highland portion of the trip, we just successfully found the primary target for everyone on the tour: the Resplendent Quetzal. More to come soon.

这定是一种常见却又极具拍摄美感的鸟类。在行程的第二天,我们成功两次目击到它,并每次都留下了精彩的摄影瞬间。今天是第七天,我们已经拍摄到了206种鸟类。随着高地行程的开启,我们刚刚带领大家捕捉到了本次行程的核心目标:凤尾绿咬鹃。更多精彩敬请期待。
