– very brightly colors Trogon and very similar to Javan Trogon.. it is so many colors put on this Sumatra endemic

update 202512

2025 has been so hectic that I didn’t even get a chance to visit this place—I really miss both the location and its birds. This stunning endemic trogon from Sumatra remains one of the most beautiful I’ve seen in Indonesia.

2025年实在太忙了,连这地方都没时间去一趟。我真的很想念这里和那里的鸟。这只来自印尼苏门答腊岛的特有咬鹃,依然是我见过最美丽的咬鹃之一。

update 202411

– On the last day of the trip, the bird came incredibly close and low, but the heavy mist made it difficult to capture a clear shot. I attempted to photograph it in flight and managed to get a few shots, though the image quality suffered due to the mist and low light conditions.

旅程的最后一天,鸟飞得非常近且低,但浓雾使得拍摄清晰照片变得困难。我尝试拍摄一些飞行的画面,虽然拍到了几张,但由于雾气和低光条件,画质并不理想。

– One of the primary reasons to visit Sumatra Island in Indonesia is to witness this incredible endemic species. I must say, you’ll be amazed by the breathtaking beauty of this bird when viewed through binoculars or a camera lens.

– Like other Trogons, it feeds incredibly quickly, finishing its meal in mere seconds.

– 前往印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛的主要原因之一就是欣赏这里令人惊叹的这一只特有物种。我必须说,当你通过双筒望远镜或相机镜头观察这只鸟时,它的美丽会让你叹为观止。

和其他咬鹃一样,它进食速度非常快,几秒钟就吃完了。很不容易捕捉到它吃东西的一幕。

– One of the primary reasons to visit Sumatra Island in Indonesia is to witness this incredible endemic species. I must say, you’ll be amazed by the breathtaking beauty of this bird when viewed through binoculars or a camera lens.

– During our 6-day photography trip, we encountered this bird multiple times. On the final evening, despite the misty weather, we were fortunate to see it flying around to feed. It was the perfect chance to capture some shots of it in flight (BIF). The new Canon R1 made photographing BIF much easier, even in the challenging jungle environment.

在我们为期6天的摄影之旅中,多次遇到这只鸟。在最后一个傍晚,尽管天气有些雾蒙蒙,我们仍幸运地看到它在飞翔觅食。这是一个绝佳的机会来捕捉它飞行中的画面(BIF)。全新的佳能R1让在丛林中拍摄飞行中的鸟变得更加轻松。

It’s an incredibly striking bird, with colors that might seem mismatched but come together beautifully in a single species. Truly stunning, and it’s fairly common in Sumatra’s sub-montane and montane regions.

Returning to the Center-East for a bird photography group, we were fortunate to spot this bird on the very first morning. A stunning male appeared, displaying a vibrant array of colors on its back.

– 这是一种非常引人注目的鸟,颜色看起来似乎不太协调,但却完美地融合在一只鸟身上。非常惊艳,而且在苏门答腊的中海拔和高海拔相当常见。

再次来到中东部参加观鸟摄影团,我们很幸运在第一天早上就发现了这只鸟。一只漂亮的雄鸟出现了,展示出它背部丰富多彩的羽毛。

– just another beautiful bird that we saw it before heavy rain. It was under the shade very dark. Bird color cannot been seen, push the ISO10000 at F9 shutter speed still 1/30s …

– 另一张很美的苏门答腊特有种,这鸟在雨前+林里被发现。颜色都看不到了。可是站的很低,唯有提到感光ISO10000.速度也只有1/30秒。

update 20231225

– it is going to end the Sumatra Birding tour here, it is enjoyable we only hit into rain end of the tour which is amazing. My 2023 end with the memorize trip here. But overall is wet, muddy and few places of landslides. As we just concentrate on west-center, we mostly at Sub-montane or Montane birding. I am mostly using CANON RF200800 and CANON R3 for rainforest environment. It is challenging with such long focal length with small aperture (will share more experience later regard the lens)

– this bird seem quite common any where here, we seen and heard almost any where even night roosting at montane area. Such a beautiful bird and hope to see the Java version soon (which I missed 16 years ago)

– 苏门答腊观鸟团就这样结束了。我的2023 也写上一个美好的结局。虽然,时雨季可是我们除了最后一天最后一刻才下了一点雨。虽然,几乎每个地方都湿湿的。这次我们在西-中部,全程在800-2100米。我也几乎都用上佳能 RF200800 为了测试在雨林的好与坏(迟点再分享这只长焦段+小光圈)

– 这次算看这鸟最多的吧,几乎哪都看到他。连夜观也看到。这鸟真的很漂亮也希望有机会到爪哇,看看那只爪哇的。(16年前错过后)

– another Christmas spend with my best guest, buddy .. this time choose have special target tour to Sumatra. After whole day travel, we arrived first birding accommodation from 4am – 4pm .. 1+ hour flight and ~7hours drive ..next day morning, we decided to change ours original plan for Ground Cuckoo, but I didn’t see one and only heard twice for almost whole day in a very lovely forest.

– this bird flying in-front of us while we waiting ours target and having ours hot tea session. What a beauty, still remember ~18 years ago I missed my Java trogon … and today see this very look a-like endemic of Sumatra ..

– 另一个圣诞节与我的好朋友+客人在森林里度过。这次我们选了苏门答腊。经过12小时。。车+飞机(1+小时)+车(7++小时)我们到住宿时已过了4点下午休息后,我们决定换我们行程先去找找地鹃。可是,一整天在森林都没看到还只听到2声。

还好这一只这么漂亮的鸟竟然在我们喝热茶等鸟时,竟然自己飞过来。上帝很厉害配颜色。

2. Graceful Pitta, 黑冠八色鸫, 黑冠八色鳥, Erythropitta venusta, スマトラヤイロチョウ

update 202411

– this year seem not much luck on this bird, not that many sighting compare to last year and each sight very short time for picture opportunity. Luckily that still managed to have few click before it disappear.

– 今年似乎没有那么幸运,这种鸟的目击次数比去年少,而且每次出现的时间都很短,拍照的机会非常有限。幸运的是,在它消失之前,我还是拍到了几张照片。

update 202401

– while we looking for the Ground-cuckoo, that area actually plenty of this Pitta. We saw one just 3-5feet from us stand there and cannot take any picture and this bird same just came to us and look at us .. beautiful moment even not a good picture compare to previous feeding station picture but it is a different satisfaction to find one wild..

– 我们在找地鹃时,那个点蛮多这鸟的。我们最近的一只竟然跳到我们3-5尺前看着我们,对焦都不行。这一只在第2天我们也在找地鹃时,他自己跳出来看我们。野拍的,我们会比较记住那一这么美好的一刻。

Today, go to the “easy side” but 2 landslides happen car cannot drive through, we birding and walk ~8km to reach. While we cooking coffee, the bird calling and came…

– 昨天在等鸟时,见到这鸟。可是竟然站离我们~5尺,绝对没机会对焦。今天就打算去“喂食点”看看。可是竟然遇到2个地方塌方,我们就选择走走看鸟+去这个点。走了8公里,在等水泡咖啡。鸟就到了。拿下咯

In the noon time very soon we have another chance to photograph it ..

– 到达鸟点(其实不是什么鸟点,就是条64公里的森林边的路)我们第一停下来,因为看到苏门答腊啸鸫。附近就听到我不很熟悉的声音,很快的Dwi 讲是鹛。也不容易的看到,当然也不好拍。。动作快+暗。在中午回程中,还好给个机会在听到。这次就好好拿下。

update 202412

Before I get busy again, I’d like to share an unforgettable moment from our photography trip to Sumatra. On Day 1, one of our members faced a “viewfinder” issue with the Canon R5 Mark II. While everything in the viewfinder appeared blurry, the AF points were still visible, and remarkably, every captured image was perfectly focused on the right subject—especially the bird’s eyes!

Shooting without a clear view through the viewfinder is no easy task, yet it’s incredible how this member managed to capture all the key targets with perfect bird-eye focus, relying entirely on the camera’s animal eye detection system. This even included the rare and stunning ground cuckoo.

在我再次忙碌之前,想分享我们苏门答腊摄影之旅中一个难忘的时刻。第一天,我们的一位队员的佳能 R5 Mark II 遇到了“取景器”问题。尽管取景器中的画面完全是模糊的,但自动对焦点仍然可见,令人惊讶的是,所有拍摄的照片都完美地对焦在目标上——尤其是鸟的眼睛!

在没有清晰取景画面的情况下进行拍摄确实极具挑战,但不可思议的是,这位队员完全依靠相机的动物眼部检测功能,成功捕捉到了所有主要目标,并精准对焦在鸟眼上,其中还包括那只罕见而美丽的地鸦。

update 202411

– Last year, after searching for this beautiful bird for two days with another group, we were rewarded with an incredible view. From that experience, we learned that waiting patiently wasn’t enough—we needed to act quickly. Determined, we formed another group to return a year later. This time, on the first day, we only heard the bird but couldn’t catch a glimpse of it. However, on the second day, our efforts paid off with an amazing sighting of this rare and stunning endemic species of Sumatra. Happy  for the group!

 

– 去年,我们与另一个团队一起寻找这只美丽的鸟儿,经过两天的努力,终于得到了一个令人难以置信的观赏机会。从那次经历中,我们明白了,光是耐心等待是不够的——我们需要果断行动。于是,我们决定组织另一个团队,一年后再次前往。这次,第一天我们只能听到鸟鸣,却没能看到它。然而,在第二天,我们的努力终于得到了回报,成功观赏到了这只罕见而美丽的苏门答腊特有鸟种。为团队感到开心!

update 202312

– we spend 1 morning at “promising spot” but bird no show, and spend next morning again but just heard it 2 times. But luckily we make decision to walk around and finally with the Dwi sharing the behavior of the bird… manage to have good view and picture.

– 这次苏门答腊鸟行主要目标之一。我们用了一个早上在所谓的“点”没等到什么,加上另一个早上也只是听了鸟叫2声。过了2个早上,我们都在谈下次几时再来时听到鸟叫。我梦们就决定走去找鸟,不等了。还好在走不久后,就没个人看的高高兴兴+拍到照片

– a large and rare Pitta with overall blue and brown for male, large beak

update 202411

– One of our main targets for this trip, but it didn’t show up at the “feeding spot.” After waiting at two locations, it suddenly appeared not far away. Everyone quickly grabbed their gear, and although it remained tame, it never came to the feeding spot. Still, we were thrilled to see the female, especially since we missed it last year—though this year, we missed the male!

– 这是我们此行的主要目标之一,但它似乎没有出现在“喂食点”。在两个地点等待后,它突然出现在不远处。大家立刻拿起装备,虽然它依然很驯服,但并没有来到喂食点。不过,我们还是很高兴看到了雌鸟,尤其是去年错过了它——不过今年却错过了雄鸟!

update 202312

– a target bird, we found one while ours night birding after we got ours Rajah Scops-Owl. Happy to found one, before we heading to “feeding spot”. But we only have 2 chance which happen before enough light for better quality of picture.

– 主要目标之一,我们在找猫头鹰时找到一只睡觉的。之后我们也到“喂食点”看这鸟与其他的。这鸟只是在一早没光前出来。

– 我们以为可以在喂食点看到,可是等了一个早上都没声音。我们没等,在上山路中听到也蛮容易找到(有神器嘛)。还有这是个好教材,我的CANON R3, 为了快速拍到懂得鸟通常都是开全福/中部区域对焦(鸟眼)可是在这种情况是应该很难找到的(有时也可以)。可是我选了其中一个钮,放了5点对焦(鸟眼)。通常找不到后,我很快用这个对焦钮碰鸟的任何一个部位。立刻就可以找到鸟眼了。。真的很好用!

update 202411

This is one of the most common birds at Fraser’s Hill, Malaysia, but its beauty never fails to captivate me. I never tire of seeing or photographing it, even when we’re in Sumatra, Indonesia. My buddy and I were hiking to find other targets, with no much luck—only hearing calls without seeing anything. Then, this bird appeared, coming down low to feed, offering us a perfect opportunity.

这是马来西亚福隆港最常见的鸟之一,但它的美丽总是让我着迷。即使在印度尼西亚苏门答腊,我也从不厌倦再次看到或拍摄它。我和伙伴一起上山寻找其他目标,但运气不佳,只听到叫声却看不到踪影。就在这时,这只鸟飞下来低处觅食,给了我们一个绝佳的拍摄机会。

After a successful first day, with nearly all our targets achieved, we ventured farther from the birding photography hide in search of more species. About 2 kilometers into the hike, as we decided to turn back, three of these birds appeared, feeding right in front of us and providing a perfect photo opportunity.

这只活跃的小鸟头顶有深色条纹,脸上有小小的黑色面纹,身体呈鲜艳的金黄色。

在成功的第一天之后,我们几乎完成了所有目标,于是我们继续离开观鸟摄影点,寻找更多的鸟类物种。徒步约2公里后,当我们决定返回时,这三只鸟出现在我们面前,正在觅食,为我们提供了绝佳的拍摄机会。

update 202411

A large Wren-babbler that is highly vocal, active, and shy. It is one of the most thrilling birds to spot and photograph.

Another fortunate morning! After successfully spotting one of the main target Pittas, this bird, as always, actively looked for other interesting birds near the hotel.

一种体型较大的鹪鹩鹛,叫声洪亮,活跃但较为羞涩。它是最令人兴奋的观鸟和拍摄对象之一。

– 又是一个幸运的早晨!在成功发现其中一个主要目标八色鸫后,这只鸟一如既往地在酒店附近积极寻找其他有趣的鸟类。

20. Eyebrowed Wren-Babbler, 纹胸鹪鹛, 紋胸鷦鶥, Napothera epilepidota, コサザイチメドリ, KEKICAU KENING PANJANG

update 202412

always one of my favorite bird to be seen or photograph. This is one I seldom meet at Malaysia but it is pretty common at Sumatra, Indonesia

这是一种我在马来西亚很少见到的鸟,但在印度尼西亚的苏门答腊挺常见的。”

202411, Danau Kaco, Sumatra, Indonesia

#####

update 202411

– A tiny and very shy bird that is difficult to get a good view of or photograph. Based on my sightings across Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, and Sumatra, both Sumatra and Borneo offer slightly better chances of seeing this bird clearly. However, Sumatra seems to be the best place for capturing good photos. Without a doubt, the bird stayed long enough for me—even allowing me to record a video!

– 一只体型小且非常害羞的鸟,很难清晰观察或拍摄。根据我在马来西亚半岛、婆罗洲和苏门答腊的观察记录,婆罗洲和苏门答腊的鸟更容易清晰看到。然而,苏门答腊似乎是拍摄好照片的最佳地点。毫无疑问,这只鸟停留了足够长的时间让我拍摄,甚至还让我录了视频!

 

#####

It’s one of those tiny, mysterious birds that appears briefly and disappears just as quickly. Rare and shy, it’s often challenging to get a clear view. I photographed this bird in Sumatra last year, and this year, with the Photography group, we put in extra effort for a better shot. Finally, we were rewarded with some truly amazing moments with this elusive bird…

这是一种小而神秘的鸟,总是匆匆出现又迅速消失。它稀有且害羞,很难清晰地观察到。去年我在苏门答腊拍摄到了这只鸟,而今年,我和摄影小组一起更加努力,希望能拍到更好的照片。最终,我们得到了与这只难得一见的鸟相遇的美好瞬间。

202411, Danau Kaco, Sumatra, Indonesia

 

21. Salvadori’s Pheasant, 黑尾鹇, 黑尾鷴, Lophura inornata, クロウチワキジ, Sempidan Sumatera

Chunky pheasant endemic to Sumatra’s highlands and foothills. Male is dark iridescent blue, while the female is warm brown with a dark tail. Both sexes have short tails, bright red patches of bare facial skin, and pale bills with a faint hook. Forages quietly on the forest floor, typically singly, sometimes in pairs. Generally fairly quiet; deep “bwoop” contact calls sometimes given, and males give a wing-whirring display that can be audible at close range. [Ebird]

一种体型健硕的雉类,特有于苏门答腊的高地和丘陵地区。雄鸟呈深蓝色金属光泽羽毛,而雌鸟则为温暖的棕色,带有深色尾羽。两性都具有短尾、鲜红的裸露面部皮肤斑块,以及淡色、略带钩状的喙。通常在森林地面上安静觅食,通常单独活动,有时成对出现。总体上相当安静,有时会发出低沉的“布沃普”联系叫声,雄鸟还会进行扇翅展示,在近距离时可听见。

update 202411

– One of the most striking pheasants, we missed the chance to photograph it last year. This year, however, the female appeared at a feeding spot around noon and lingered for a long time, showing no signs of leaving.

– 这是外形蛮美的雉类之一,去年我们错过了拍摄的机会。今年,雌鸟在中午时分出现在一个觅食点,并停留了很长时间,似乎一点都不想离开。

通常栖息在海岸附近长有长草的草原,喜欢三五成群聚居在林地,求偶时雄鸟会竖起冠羽,不断地上下摆动头部。群居,在树上觅食果实和昆虫。因分布区狭,栖息地遭到破坏,野生种群数量稀少,是椋鸟中最罕有物种处境岌岌可危,依然沦落为世界上极危鸟种。分布于印度尼西亚巴厘岛。

– a very special and beautiful endemic for Bali, wont wrong as long as you see medium size and white bird .. think only near Bali National Park area
– 非常特别的巴厘岛特有种,白
2016, West Bali, Indonesia

 

8. Small Blue Kingfisher, 小蓝翠鸟, 小藍翠鳥, Alcedo coerulescens, ヒメアオカワセミ, Rajaudang Biru

a very common small blue-white small Kingfisher at Bali-Java, can be seen almost any where near stream, pond …but quite shy as usual

这小翠鸟在巴厘岛几乎蛮普通,可是还是不容易拍。很害羞。

update 202402

– this is a very good example of need more fps .. so not always correct we do not need .. I normally shoot ~15fps in most of the camera by default … when this bird sudden dive in I am too late to change the fps .. and most of the frame without very good “eye contact” or I would say too less frame within the dive action (~7frames)

– 现在相机都说有多快。20,30,40,60,120,240fps .. 蛮多人讲,我们都不需要。。。不是很重要,其实我们大部分时间都不需要。可是有想过吗,有当然比没好啊。当我们需要时却没有,就像我这样。15张一秒,错过蛮多看过来的一幕啊。

20240118, Bali, Indonesia

 

update 202401

– a transit easy shooting near ours hotel, saw few of them and need small movement to get close to get closer pictures.

– 再去看松巴岛前,在巴厘岛酒店附近就找到。还蛮还几只,慢慢的走近还是可以拍好。

20240118, Bali, Indonesia

 

 

9. Little Black Cormorant, 小黑鸬鹚, 小黑鸕鷀, Phalacrocorax sulcirostris, ミナミクロヒメウ, Pecuk-padi hitam

– overall black and mid size of bird always found near ponds, river.

update 202401

– transit to Sumba Island so spent some time in Bali for casual birding, managed to have this pond for small fun for everyone .. this bird very common here first arrive every one chase haha .. and day2 everyone target other bird except me waiting some bird fall into better light position but saw these 2 birds fighting for fish even not at the direction I wanted but just capture the moment 😀

– 去松巴岛前一天到巴厘岛,就找了个小池塘过过日子。第一个下午,一到每个人追着鸟(新鸟种)第二天早上没人看了,我一个人在等什么鸟都好在好光线的位置出现。竟然看到2只在抢鱼(虽然不在我要的角度)可是还是拿下吧。

2. Red-vented Bulbul, 黑喉红臀鹎, 黑喉紅臀鵯, Pycnonotus cafer, シリアカヒヨドリ

A dark, sleek, medium-sized bird with a black crest and a white rump. The red color under the tail is often difficult to see. Eats fruit, flower buds, and insects. Conspicuous and sometimes gregarious, often seen high in trees or perched on wires in urban and rural areas; generally prefers scrubby edge habitat instead of dense forest. Calls include a variety of chirps and whistles. Native to South and Southeast Asia. Introduced to Kuwait, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman, and some Polynesian islands, including Hawaii. [Ebird]

update 202412

It seems this bird is quite common in the region—I may have seen it before in Sri Lanka or somewhere else. Still, it’s great to spot our first bird here after a long journey and a relaxing stay at the homestay in Baihualing, Yunnan, China.

I’ve quickly adapted to the setup (Canon R1), and capturing these in-flight shots felt almost seamless. The bird flew straight toward us, and I managed to get all 19 frames perfectly in focus.

这只鸟似乎在这个地区很常见——我可能之前在斯里兰卡或其他地方见过。不过,在经过长途旅行和在云南百花岭的民宿放松之后,看到我们的第一只鸟还是很令人欣喜。

我很快就适应了设备,拍摄这些飞行中的镜头几乎毫不费力。这只鸟径直朝我们飞来,我成功拍下了所有19张清晰的照片。

202412, Baihualing, Yunan, China#####
3. Great Barbet, 大拟啄木鸟, 大擬啄木, Psilopogon virens, オオゴシキドリ

This largest of the barbets is colorful, but often appears all-dark from a distance. No other barbet in its range combines the features of a massive pale bill, black head, and dark olive back. Sluggish and shy; tends to stick to dense forest canopy, where it is difficult to see. Its loud hooting song (typically a series of two repetitive notes) is often the only indication of this species’s presence. Also gives a harsh, screaming “karrrrr” that has a gull-like quality. [Ebird]

这只最大的拟啄木鸟色彩鲜艳,但从远处看通常呈现出全黑的外观。在其分布范围内,没有其他拟啄木鸟同时具备巨大的浅色喙、黑色头部和深橄榄色背部的特征。行动迟缓且羞怯,倾向于停留在浓密的森林树冠中,难以被发现。它响亮的鸣叫声(通常是两个重复音符组成的一系列声音)往往是表明其存在的唯一线索。同时,它还发出一种粗厉、尖锐的“karrrrr”叫声,带有类似海鸥的音质。

update 202412

I’ve seen this bird many times in various places but never had the chance to capture a photo—until now. Here, we finally had numerous opportunities to take some great shots.

Seeing the photo afterward was a completely different kind of excitement, as the vibrant colors that define the bird truly stood out. Simply incredible!

我曾在许多地方见过这只鸟,但一直没有机会拍照。直到现在,这里终于给了我们很多机会,拍到了几张很棒的照片。

回头看照片时,那种兴奋感完全不同,鸟儿的鲜艳色彩展现得淋漓尽致,简直太棒了!

4. Cachar Wedge-billed Babbler, 楔嘴鹩鹛, 紋胸楔嘴鷯鶥, Stachyris roberti, チャイロキリハシチメドリ

A gregarious babbler with a dark back and underparts spangled with scaly silver markings. At first glance, may resemble a cupwing, but this babbler is much larger and longer-tailed, and does not stick as closely to the ground as cupwings do. Often moves deep in dense shrubbery, but will occasionally forage in the middle layers of the forest as well, scaling trees and creeping along branches. [Ebird]

One of the stunning babblers has such flat body feather details that it almost resembles a drawing.

一种群居的鸟,背部和腹部呈深色,并点缀着鳞状银色斑纹。乍一看,它可能与短翅鸫相似,但这只画眉鸟体型更大,尾巴更长,而且不像短翅鸫那样紧贴地面活动。通常在茂密的灌木丛深处活动,但偶尔也会在森林的中层觅食,攀爬树木,沿着树枝移动。[Ebird]

其中一只鸟的羽毛细节看起来如此平滑,几乎像一幅画。

update 202412

An 8-day journey to Yunnan, particularly to this bird photography paradise, is almost at its end. As expected, capturing great photos of many species was as simple as sitting and waiting. However, a bit of luck was still needed. According to local, the number of bird species visiting has decreased, and with more hides available, the birds may now spread out instead of gathering in the usual spots. Regardless, we thoroughly enjoyed our authentic photography experience here.

Although the trip isn’t over yet, this moment stands out as one of my favorites. The bird was incredibly active, appearing for just a split second with an almost surreal “flat” look to its body—like a 2D drawing. But with patience, it rewarded us with some fantastic views as the day drew to a close.

为期八天的云南之旅,尤其是在这个鸟类摄影天堂,已接近尾声。正如预期的那样,只需静静地坐着等待,就能轻松拍到许多鸟类的精彩照片。不过,运气也不可或缺。据当地人介绍,前来的鸟种数量有所减少,而且随着隐蔽观测点的增多,鸟类可能会分散到不同的藏身处,而不再像以前那样集中。但无论如何,我们都非常享受这次真实而纯粹的摄影之旅。

虽然旅程尚未结束,但这绝对是我此次旅行中最喜欢的瞬间之一。这只鸟非常活跃,刚出现时仅一瞬间,身体看上去几乎是平面的,就像一幅2D画作。然而,在耐心等待之后,它在接近一天结束时,终于给了我们许多精彩的展示。

5. Slaty-bellied Tesia, 金冠地莺, 金冠地鶯, Tesia olivea, クロハラコビトサザイ

Update 202412

This tiny bird moves swiftly through the bushes, making it incredible that we managed to spot it.

It’s a bird everyone on this trip has been eager to photograph. Yesterday, only Amy and I were lucky enough to capture it, while others could only catch a glimpse without getting any photos. However, luck was on our side today! Two different Tesias came close to us within just 15 minutes, giving everyone the chance they had been hoping for. Tonight, we can all sleep soundly, content with the experience.

这只小鸟在灌木丛中快速穿梭,真是令人惊叹,我们竟然能发现它。

这是本次旅程中每个人都渴望拍摄的一只鸟。昨天只有我和另一位女士(Amy)幸运地拍到了它,其他人只能匆匆一瞥,却没能拍下照片。然而,今天幸运降临了!两只不同的地莺在15分钟内先后靠近我们,让大家终于得偿所愿。今晚,我们都可以心满意足地安然入睡了。

202412, Baihualing, Yunan, China

 

6. Yellow-bellied Fairy-Fantail, 黄腹扇尾鹟, 黃腹扇尾鶲, Chelidorhynx hypoxanthus, キバラオウギビタキ

An active little bird with a bright yellow belly and a pale-tipped fan-like tail. Most common in foothill and submontane broadleaf forests, where it forages energetically and acrobatically in the middle and lower levels, often with fulvettas, warblers, and other small passerines in mixed-species foraging flocks. Very similar in shape to fantails but much smaller, and actually more closely related to tits. Song is a series of high “tsit” notes interspersed with twitters and trills. Call is often repeated at length, akin to a song, but much simpler, a series of high “tsip” notes. [Ebird]

update 202412

One of the most active birds, behaving much like a fantail. While it’s not a lifer for me—I previously recorded it in Northern Thailand—it’s still a challenge to spot here in Yunnan, China. Thankfully, luck was on our side, and we managed to witness it spreading its tail, giving us a few great moments for some good photo opportunities.

这是一只非常活跃的小鸟,行为举止有点像扇尾鹟。虽然对我来说不算新记录(之前在泰国北部拍摄过),但在中国云南也并不容易拍到。不过幸运的是,我们得以目睹它展开尾羽的瞬间还给了我们一些宝贵的拍摄机会。

202412, Baihualing, Yunan, China

 

7. Bianchi’s Warbler, 比氏鹟莺, 比氏鶲鶯, Phylloscopus valentini, インドシナモリムシクイ

One of a number of mind-numbingly similar Seicercus warblers. Greenish-yellow above and bright yellow below, with a faint wingbar, a yellow eyering, and a grayish crown marked by two black stripes. Gray of the crown is weaker than that of White-spectacled and Plain-tailed Warblers, but this feature is difficult to see in the shade of the understory, where it usually forages. Breeds in submontane and montane forest up to the treeline; averages higher Martens’s Warbler. Descends into submontane and hill forest in the non-breeding season. Song is an unremarkable but lively burst of whistled notes, lower in pitch than that of Plain-tailed Warbler. [Ebird]

一种看起来极为相似的冠鹛类鸟(Seicercus)。上体呈绿色偏黄,下体明黄色,带有一条淡淡的翼斑、黄色的眼圈以及灰色的头顶,头顶上还有两条黑色条纹。头顶的灰色比白眶鹛(White-spectacled Warbler)和单尾鹛(Plain-tailed Warbler)更弱,但在其常活动的林下阴影处,这一特征难以看清。繁殖季节栖息于亚山地和山地森林中,分布高度可达森林界限;平均分布高度比马氏鹛(Martens’s Warbler)更高。非繁殖季节会下迁至亚山地和丘陵森林。鸣声是轻快的、普通的哨音片段,音高低于单尾鹛的鸣声。

update 202412

A tiny warbler with a sudden flash of “yellowish” plumage appeared, and I immediately thought, “It’s a new bird!” Naturally, everyone quickly grabbed their cameras to capture it. It only showed up briefly while we were casually waiting for birds to come to the water.

一只小小的、突然出现的“泛黄色”的鹛类鸟,让我立刻想到:“新鸟!”于是大家赶紧举起相机拍摄。这只鸟只出现了一会儿,当时我们其实只是在随意等候鸟类来饮水。

202412, Baihualing, Yunan, China

8. 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”。

update 202412

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。

202412, Baihualing, Yunan, China

 

9. Scarlet Finch, 血雀, Carpodacus sipahi, シュイロマシコ

update 202412

We chose this hide specifically for this bird and spotted it early in the morning. Afterward, we decided to move to another hide. The male arrived briefly before leaving, but luck was on our side as we caught the moment.

我们特意选择了这个鸟塘点来寻找这只鸟,并很快就看到了它。随后,我们决定换到另一个鸟塘。雄鸟很快到达又离开,但幸运的是,我们抓住了这个瞬间。

One of the standout birds at Baihualing, Yunnan, China is often seen as a highlight by both locals and visitors. Whenever someone spots or photographs one, it becomes big news in the village, quickly drawing bird enthusiasts and photographers to the area. This one shows up unexpectedly, as it did this time to take a drink, it captivates everyone around. It is a beautiful bird, with the female being particularly striking.

在中国云南百花岭,这种突出的鸟类常常被认为是当地居民和游客的亮点之一。每当有人发现或者拍摄到它时,就会在村里引起轰动,很快吸引大量鸟类爱好者和摄影爱好者前来。这次它出乎意料地出现,来喝水,吸引了周围所有人的目光。这是一种美丽的鸟,雌鸟尤其引人注目。

202412, Baihualing, Yunan, China

 

10. Chestnut-headed Tesia, 栗头地莺, 栗頭地鶯, Cettia castaneocoronata, クリガシラコビトサザイ

update 202412

This is a fairly common bird in the area, but it moves too quickly to capture good shots. It often hides in dark and damp spots, making it a wonderfully active but elusive subject.

这是一种在这里相当常见的鸟,但它动作太快,很难拍到好照片。它经常躲在阴暗潮湿的地方,是一只活泼而难以捉摸的鸟。

202412, Baihualing, Yunan, China

 

11. Himalayan Shortwing, 喜山短翅鸫, 喜山短翅鶇, Brachypteryx cruralis, ヒマラヤコバネヒタキ

Tiny, stumpy bird of dense undergrowth. Male is dark slate-blue with broad white eyebrows that give him the appearance of a furious little old man. Female is warm pale brown all over. In areas of overlap with Chinese and Lesser Shortwings, look out for the all-dark lower belly, which is white in those species. Inhabits hill and montane forest, where it forages in dense undergrowth, frequently in proximity to streams. Song is composed of high thin whistles with short bursts of clicking chattering mixed in.

矮小、圆胖的小鸟,常见于茂密的林下灌丛。雄鸟为深蓝灰色,带有宽阔的白色眉线,使其看起来像一位愤怒的小老头。雌鸟则呈温暖的浅棕色。在与中华短翅和小短翅分布重叠的地区,可以通过其全黑的下腹部(而其他两种为白色)进行区分。栖息于丘陵和山地森林中,常在密集的灌丛中觅食,通常靠近溪流。鸣声由高音的细哨音组成,并混有短促的点击和叽喳声。

update 202412

While everyone was focused on a few main target birds, one of our buddies, who could be considered a new birder, suddenly shouted, “Shortwing!” He was so proud of himself for identifying a bird on his own. Honestly, I think he should be even happier if he managed to spot a rare bird feeding instead!

当大家都专注于几种主要目标鸟时,我们的一位朋友(可以算是新手观鸟者)突然大喊:“短翅鸫!” 他为自己能独立认出一只鸟感到非常自豪。老实说,我觉得如果他发现+认出鸟种,他应该会比在喂食店拍到稀有鸟种更加高兴!

202412, Baihualing, Yunan, China

12. Collared Scops-Owl, 领角鸮, 領角鴞, Otus lettia, ヒガシオオコノハズク

Medium-sized owl with significant variation in plumage and vocalizations across its large range. Either gray or brown in coloration, with prominent pale ear tufts and pale face outlined in black. Fond of open wooded habitats from lowlands to foothills, often found roosting in temples, houses, and gardens, particularly in rural areas. Larger and more strongly tufted than both Oriental and Mountain Scops-Owls; both also lack the black facial border. Listen for this species’ incisive, short hoots, given at well-spaced intervals (often around 10 seconds). [Ebird]

中型猫头鹰,其羽毛和叫声因广泛分布范围而显著变化。体色为灰色或棕色,头部有明显的浅色耳簇和黑色勾勒的浅色面盘。喜欢开阔的林地栖息地,从低地到丘陵都有分布,常见于庙宇、民居和乡村花园中栖息。与东方领角鸮和高山领角鸮相比,此种猫头鹰体型更大,耳簇更为显著,并具有独特的黑色面盘边缘。其叫声为短促而清晰的鸣叫,间隔较长(通常约10秒一次)。

update 202412

It is quite a common bird, even in Malaysia. It was previously classified as the Sunda Scops-Owl but is now considered part of the Collared Scops-Owl. We often had one just outside our room, almost every day.

There is always debate about using torches or flashlights on birds, with no clear consensus on whether it is right or wrong for nature. However, there are certain actions we should never take or support, such as keeping them in cages or tying them up. It’s disheartening to know that many people still do such things, often just for the sake of a photograph.

它是一种相当常见的鸟类,即使在马来西亚也能见到。之前被归类为巽他领角鸮,现在被认为是领角鸮的一部分。我们几乎每天都能在房间外看到它。

关于是否可以用手电筒或闪光灯照射鸟类,总是存在争论,且很难得出明确的对错结论。然而,有些事情是我们绝对不应该做或参与的,例如将它们关在笼子里或绑起来。令人难过的是,很多人为了拍一张照片,仍然在做这样的事情。

202412, Baihualing, Yunan, China

 

13. White-gorgeted Flycatcher, 白喉姬鹟, 白喉姬鶲, Anthipes monileger, ノドジロヒタキ

Tiny brown flycatcher with a triangular white bib bordered with black. Gray head, frosty white brow, and ruddy wings and tail are not as eye-catching as the throat patch, but just as distinctive. Unobtrusive and retiring, generally keeping to the dense lower levels of foothill forests. Frequently forages in inaccessible gorges and thick streamside vegetation. Usually seen singly, occasionally in pairs. [Ebird]

小型棕色鹟类,喉部有一个三角形的白色领结,周围勾勒着黑色边缘。灰色的头部、霜白色的眉纹以及红棕色的翅膀和尾巴虽然不如喉部斑块引人注目,但同样具有辨识度。性格低调且隐秘,通常活动于丘陵森林的浓密下层。经常在难以接近的峡谷和茂密的溪流旁植被中觅食。通常单独活动,偶尔成对出现。

update 202412

The last lifer of the tour was an adorable flycatcher, easily recognizable by the distinct triangular white patch on its neck.

此次行程中的最后一只新物种是一只可爱的鹟类,它颈部显眼的三角形白斑格外醒目。

202412, Baihualing, Yunan, China

 

14. Rufous-throated Partridge, 红喉山鹧鸪, 紅喉山鷓鴣, Arborophila rufogularis, ノドアカミヤマテッケイ

A beautiful little gamebird of foothill and highland forests with extensive ground-level cover, where it moves about in medium-sized convoys through the dense undergrowth. Usually quiet, though sings melodically and loudly at dusk and dawn. Brightly-colored, even for a partridge; both sexes have a bright orange throat, a bluish-gray chest, and orange-and-white spotting on the sides [Ebird]

一种美丽的小型‘鸡“,生活在有着茂密地面植被的山麓和高地森林中,常成中等规模的小群体在浓密的灌丛中活动。通常较安静,但在黄昏和黎明时会发出悦耳而洪亮的歌声。相对于其他鹧鸪,这种鸟颜色

update 202412

At almost every hide we visited, the owners assured us that this bird is always around. However, we didn’t spot it at any of those hides, except on day one when it briefly walked past. Hopefully, everyone on our team managed to capture a photo of this beautiful partridge.

几乎每个我们去的鸟塘,主人都会告诉我们这只鸟总是在这里。然而,除了第一天它匆匆走过外,我们在其他任何地方都没有看到它。希望我们团队的每个人都能拍到这只美丽鹧鸪的照片。

202412, Baihualing, Yunan, China

15. Gray Bushchat, 灰林䳭, 灰叢鴝, Saxicola ferreus, ヤマザキヒタキ

Small songbird of forest edges, open scrub, and farmland, usually seen in pairs or small flocks. Male is silvery gray overall with black face and white supercilium, throat, belly, and wing patches. Female dull brown overall, with a rufous tail and faded version of the male’s head pattern. Bold but not very active, usually seen perching for long periods on posts and overhead wires. Song is bright and melodious, but often has a somewhat faltering quality, trailing off towards the end. Most common call is a harsh rising “bzeeet!”. [EBird]

小型鸣禽,栖息于森林边缘、灌丛及农田,通常成对或小群活动。雄鸟全身呈银灰色,具黑色脸部及白色眉纹、喉部、腹部和翼斑。雌鸟整体为暗褐色,尾部呈红褐色,头部花纹为雄鸟的淡化版。性格大胆但不太活跃,常长时间栖息于柱子和电线之上。鸣声明亮悦耳,但常带有些许不连贯感,结尾逐渐消失。最常见的叫声是一声粗哑上扬的“bzeeet!”。

 

update 202412

During one of the quieter moments while waiting for a Scarlet Finch, a female caught my attention. As it flew around, I decided to enable Continuous Pre-record mode, just in case. Suddenly, it spread its wings, and I seized the perfect moment to press the shutter after see the action, capturing this stunning shot.

在等待血雀的一段安静时光中,一只雌鸟吸引了我的注意力。当它在周围飞舞时,我决定启用连续预录模式以防万一。突然,它张开翅膀,我看到这一瞬间立刻按下快门,捕捉到了这张精彩的照片。

202412, Baihualing, Yunan, China

 

16. Scaly-breasted Cupwing, 鳞胸鹪鹛, 大鱗胸鷦鶥, Pnoepyga albiventer, ヒメサザイチメドリ

Adorable tiny bird that loosely resembles a minute tailless wren. Warm dark brown above with rufous overtones, and scaled below; pale-morph birds have white edgings to black “scales,” while dark-morph birds have edgings that are coffee-stain tan. Smaller Pygmy Cupwing lacks the tan spots speckling the crown and neck of Scaly-breasted. Scaly-breasted inhabits dark, damp areas in dense forest, often around boulders, streams, and ravines. Song is a jumbled series of high-pitched melodic warbles, notably more complex than the song of Pygmy Cupwing. [Ebird]

可爱的小鸟,外形有点像一只没有尾巴的微型鹪鹩。上体为暖棕色,带有红褐色调,下体有鳞状纹;浅色型鸟黑色“鳞片”边缘为白色,而深色型鸟则为咖啡色边缘。与小棕林鸲相比,鳞胸棕林鸲的头顶和颈部缺乏棕色斑点。鳞胸棕林鸲栖息于浓密森林中阴暗潮湿的区域,通常出现在巨石、溪流和峡谷附近。鸣唱是一连串高音调的悦耳啁啾,比小鹪鹛的鸣声更复杂。

On our last day in Baihualing, we spotted two distinctly different tiny, tailless birds. At a distance of about 10-15 meters, I initially assumed they were the same Pygmy Cupwing. However, upon reviewing the captured photos, it was clear they were different species.

Knowing their behavior of spreading their wings when moving, I enabled Continuous Pre-record mode and pressed the shutter the moment the bird moved. Got it!

在白花岭的最后一天,我们发现了两只明显不同的小型无尾鸟。由于距离大约在10-15米,我起初以为它们是同一种小鳞胸鹪鹛。然而,当查看拍摄的照片时,发现它们明显是不同的物种。

了解到它们在移动时会张开翅膀的行为特点,我启用了连续预录模式,并在鸟儿移动的瞬间按下快门。抓拍成功!

17. Blue-throated Barbet, 蓝喉拟啄木鸟, 藍喉擬啄木, Psilopogon asiaticus, アオノドゴシキドリ

A common inhabitant of lowland and foothill tropical forests, where it sings brightly but often unseen from the canopy; listen for its repeated 3- or 4-syllabled ‘took-o-rrook!’ Tends to be more common in edge areas and degraded forests than other barbets. Bright green with a blue throat, a red-and-yellow crown, and a heavy, pale-based bill. Birds at the northern and western parts of this species’ range have a black brow, while southern birds don’t. [Ebird]

一种常见于低地和丘陵热带森林的鸟类,常躲在树冠中鸣唱,声音清亮但不易被看到;它的叫声为重复的三到四音节“took-o-rrook!”。与其他拟啄木鸟相比,它更常出现在林缘地区和退化森林中。羽毛鲜绿色,喉部为蓝色,头顶有红黄相间的斑块,喙粗壮且基部呈浅色。在分布范围的北部和西部,这种鸟有黑色的眉纹,而南部的鸟则没有。

update 202412

A vibrant bird with a predominantly blue head, commonly found in BaiHuaLing, Yunnan, China. Its calls are nearly constant throughout the area, and it occasionally comes down to forage for food and water.

一种色彩鲜艳的鸟,头部以蓝色为主,在中国云南百花岭蛮普通。它的叫声在该地区几乎不间断,并且偶尔会下来觅食和喝水。

202412, Baihualing, Yunan, China

18. Slender-billed Scimitar-Babbler, 剑嘴鹛, 細嘴鉤嘴鶥, Pomatorhinus superciliaris, ハシナガチメドリ

Possibly the species to which the moniker of “scimitar-babbler” attaches most fittingly, as this inhabitant of high-altitude evergreen forests has a bill shaped like a curved sword. Predominantly orange-brown, with a gray head and jagged white eyebrow. Easily identified, even if seen only in silhouette; no other babbler in its range has such a long, sharply curved bill. Moves through the lower levels of the forest in large, noisy flocks. [ebird]

这可能是最符合“弯嘴鹛”这个名字的物种,因为它栖息于高海拔常绿林中,嘴巴形状像一把弯曲的剑。主要为橙棕色,头部呈灰色,眉线为锯齿状的白色。即使只看到剪影也很容易辨认;在其分布范围内,没有其他鹛类具有如此又长又弯的喙。通常以大型嘈杂的群体活动于森林的下层。

update 202412

This bird has an oddly thin and curved beak, giving it a truly unique appearance. Though active, it’s not hard to spot here. At many bird hides, it readily comes out to grab food before retreating, making it relatively easy to see and photograph.

这只鸟有着奇特的纤细弯曲喙,外形非常独特。虽然活跃,但在这里并不难见到。在许多观鸟点,它会很容易地出来抓食然后离开,因此相对容易观察和拍摄。

202412, Baihualing, Yunan, China

 

19. Yellow-cheeked Tit, 黄颊山雀, 黃頰山雀, Machlolophus spilonotus, セボシカンムリガラ

update 202412
One of the most captivating birds of Baihualing, Yunnan, with its vibrant and striking colors, complemented by a charming crest, is both active and beautiful.

这只来自云南百花岭的鸟,拥有鲜艳夺目的色彩和迷人的冠羽,既活跃又美丽,十分迷人。

202412, Baihualing, Yunan, China

 

20. 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。

21. Black-headed Gull, 红嘴鸥, 紅嘴鷗, Chroicocephalus ridibundus, ユリカモメ

update 202601

This was a family holiday, so there wasn’t much birding planned. Still, I carried a wide-angle lens and the RF 100–500mm with me. In winter, there are plenty of gulls around, especially near the lake. One morning, I came across a group of gulls feeding very close by. I spent a few quick moments capturing this beautiful bird at close range.

这是一次家庭假期,并没有安排太多观鸟活动,但我还是随身带着广角镜头和 RF 100–500。冬季时,湖区附近有不少海鸥活动。一天早上,我遇到一群正在近距离觅食的海鸥,便抓紧时间,快速拍下了这只美丽的鸟。

202601, Dali, Yunnan, China

 

22. Eurasian Wren, 鹪鹩, 鷦鷯, Troglodytes troglodytes, ミソサザイ

update 202601

It was a freezing morning at around –6°C. We went to Napa Lake mainly to revisit some good memories from years ago. After waiting for a beautiful sunrise, I was almost ready to return to the car when I suddenly heard a bird calling very close by. The bird stayed low to the ground, barely moving—likely due to the cold—with ice clearly visible around it.

I managed to capture some close shots, and that moment became the happiest highlight of this casual, relaxing trip to Yunnan.

清晨气温低至约零下 6°C。这次只是来到纳帕海,重温多年前到访时的美好回忆。看完日出后,正准备返回车上时,突然听到附近传来鸟叫声。那只鸟几乎贴近地面,一动不动,应该是因为天气太冷,周围还能看到结冰的痕迹。

能够近距离拍到它,成了这趟云南轻松休闲之旅中最开心、最难忘的时刻。

202601, Napa Lake, Yunnan

 

 

23. Eurasian Coot, 白骨顶, 白骨頂, Fulica atra, オオバン, PANGLIN-HITAM BIASA

update 202601

This bird is very common here in Yunnan—you can easily see it up close around streams, rivers, and lakes. I’m here on a family holiday, enjoying a relaxed time with coffee and loved ones, casually watching the birds nearby. Suddenly, this bird started showing some action. My camera didn’t miss the moment—I captured everything and compiled the shots into this MP4.

 

这种鸟在云南非常常见,在溪流、河流和湖泊附近都能近距离看到。我这次是家庭度假,悠闲地喝着咖啡、陪伴家人,随意观察身边的鸟类。突然,这只鸟开始有精彩的动作,我的相机没有错过任何瞬间,拍下了所有画面,并整理成了这个 MP4。

 

 

24. Gray-crested Tit, 褐冠山雀, 灰冠山雀, Lophophanes dichrous, ハイイロカンムリガラ

update 202601

We decided to walk along the boardwalk instead of taking a boat ride. While strolling, this bird came surprisingly close to us. I quickly opened my bag, grabbed the Canon RF100–500, and managed to capture this cute little bird.

我们决定不坐船,改走木栈道。一路走着,这只鸟竟然离我们非常近。我立刻打开包,拿出 Canon RF100–500,成功拍下了这只可爱的鸟。

202601,普达措国家森林公园, Yunnan, China

 

25. Common Hoopoe, 戴胜, 戴勝, Upupa epops, ヤツガシラ

update 202601

Surprised that I haven’t shared this beautiful yet very common bird before. I’ve photographed it in many places—Malaysia (Kuala Gula, Kota Kinabalu), South Africa, Thailand, Kenya, and China.

This time was special, as it was the closest encounter so far. The bird was feeding right outside our hotel and wasn’t bothered at all, even when we got quite close.

有点惊讶自己之前竟然没分享过这只既美丽又常见的鸟。我在很多地方都拍过它——马来西亚(瓜拉古拉、哥打京那巴鲁)、南非、泰国、肯尼亚和中国。

不过这一次真的很特别,这是我拍过距离最近的一次。它就在我们酒店外觅食,即使我们靠得很近,也完全不受影响。

202601, Dali, Yunnan, China

 

26. Chestnut-vented Nuthatch, 栗臀䴓, 栗臀鳾, Sitta nagaensis, ミナミゴジュウカラ

update 202602

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。

202601, Potatso National Park, Yunnan, China

 

27. Brown-headed Gull, 棕头鸥, 棕頭鷗, Chroicocephalus brunnicephalus, チャガシラカモメ

update 202602

The weather today is exceptional. The deep blue of the sky is reflecting perfectly on the lake, creating a beautiful color contrast with this immature Brown-headed Gull. However, it is disappointing to see so many people feeding the birds various kinds of human food. While people likely have good intentions, but feeding with wrong food can be affect the bird health
今天天气极好。湛蓝的天空倒映在湖面上,与这只棕头鸥幼鸟形成了极美的色彩对比。然而,令人遗憾的是,现场有很多人在用各种人类食物投喂鸟类。虽然大家的出发点可能是好的,但喂它们人类食物可能会危害它们的健康。

Quick CANON EOS 90D 4k simple record | liewwk Nature

I always love to record wildlife in better video quality since CANON 5dm2

one of the reason I am quite interest on CANON EOS 90D is the capability of record 4k video

I did quick record with below condition

– handheld

– low light , while shooting picture ISO1250, 1/20, F5

– no edit , just trim and uploaded full size to Yoututbe

– internal Mic

 

update 20191023
another quick record of 4k using the 90D

*** I move the camera toward the flower into center … the camera auto get the bird focus and the AF point show it focus or trying focus on the “moving object” – bird

in case , anyone interest on the bird .. it is Chestnut-necklaced Partridge

click on the link and choose Video Quality to 2160 (4k)
