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。

update 20260102
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。

502. Lappet-faced Vulture, 皱脸秃鹫, 縐臉兀鷲, Torgos tracheliotos, ミミヒダハゲワシ
update 202601
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。

Malkohas are large birds in the cuckoo family Cuculidae, all in the genus Phaenicophaeus. The group name is derived from the Sinhala word for the Red-faced Malkoha; Mal-Koha meaning flower-cuckoo. These are all Asian tropical species. The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greek phoiniko- “crimson”, and phaes “eyes” or “face”,[1] referring to the Red-faced Malkoha. However, the ‘œ’ was mistranscribed as ‘æ’

update 202501
A fairly common coucal found in South Africa, which I’ve seen and photographed multiple times in various locations. However, this was a closer encounter, and I managed to capture a full series of flight shots. The distinctive tail band markings are clearly visible, making it easy to differentiate this species from others.
一种在南非相当常见的郭公鸟,我曾多次在不同地点看到并拍摄过。然而,这次距离更近,我成功捕捉到了一整组飞行照片。显眼的尾部条纹清晰可见,使其与其他物种容易区分开来。

201. Yellow-billed Malkoha, 苏拉黄嘴地鹃, 蘇拉黃嘴地鵑, Rhamphococcyx calyorhynchus, セレベスバンケンモドキ, Kadalan Sulawesi
A large, thick-billed malkoha, endemic to Sulawesi, where the only Malkoha. Rufous top half and dark bottom half give it the appearance of having been dipped in black paint, which together with long tail and thick red and yellow bill give it an unmistakeable appearance. Found in wooded habitats from the lowlands to the mountains. Follows macaques catching flushed insects. Call, a very distinctive series of sharp, grating notes, that rise, then fall, whilst accelerating and fading at the end. [Ebird]
一种体型较大、喙厚的鹃鵙,仅分布于苏拉威西,也是该地区唯一的鹃鵙。其上半身呈赤褐色,下半身为深色,看起来仿佛被浸入黑色油漆中,再加上长尾巴和粗壮的红黄色喙,使其外形独特且易于辨认。主要栖息于低地至高山的森林环境中,经常跟随猕猴捕捉因猴子惊飞的昆虫。叫声是一串极具辨识度的尖锐、刺耳音符,先升后降,最后逐渐加快并消失。
update 202501
This large and beautiful bird is a common endemic of Sulawesi, but it’s always a pleasure to photograph. I was very fortunate to capture it in flight!
Still figuring out where to go for a few days in April 2025—anyone up for a quick Sulawesi trip?
这种体型大而美丽的鸟是苏拉威西的常见特有种,但拍摄它依然是一种享受。我很幸运能捕捉到它的飞行瞬间!
2025年4月还有几天行程待定,有人想来一趟苏拉威西短途旅行吗?

51. Small Niltava, 小仙鹟, 小仙鶲, Niltava macgrigoriae, チビアオヒタキ
Size distinguishes this species from other niltavas; coloration is quite similar to Large Niltava, which is double the size. Male Small Niltava is bright blue with the brightest patches on the shoulder and forehead. Female is brown with a white eyering and a rufous tail and wingtips. Forages in the lower and middle levels of hilly and montane forests, usually singly. Listen for its distinctive song, a cleanly descending “wee-dee-dee.” [EBird]
体型将该物种与其他仙鹟区分开来;其颜色与大型仙鹟非常相似,但体型只有后者的一半。雄性小仙鹟呈亮蓝色,肩部和前额的亮色斑块最为显眼。雌性则为棕色,具有白色眼圈以及棕红色的尾巴和翼尖。通常单独在丘陵和山地森林的中下层觅食。其独特的鸣声是清晰下滑的“wee-dee-dee”。

Another bird we encountered, found only at a single hide despite visiting many others, initially appeared quite shy. However, after a few hours of brief appearances, it gradually became more comfortable and eventually stayed long enough for some great photos.
另一只我们在众多拍摄点中仅在一个鸟点发现的鸟,起初显得相当害羞。然而,经过几个小时的短暂现身后,它逐渐变得放松,最终停留足够长的时间让我们拍下了好照片。

It was quite a stressful morning as we missed the Trogon twice, and the male Black-sided Flowerpecker didn’t show up. However, this bird flew close, giving me a chance to capture it in flight. What a beautiful sight!

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。

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。

update 202412
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。

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

– 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.
