1. Sumatran Trogon, 苏门答腊咬鹃, 蘇門答臘藍尾咬鵑, Apalharpactes mackloti, スマトラキヌバネドリ

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

– 颜色非常鲜艳，与爪哇岛的非常像是。苏门答腊特有种。

update 202411

– 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.

– 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。

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。

update 20240113

– 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

a very similar to Borneo Black-headed Pitta and Garnet pitta call and similar look. But it is an endemic to Sumatra island

– 与婆罗洲的黑头八色鸫，西马的榴红八色鸫非常像。叫声也很像。

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。

####

update 202312

– saw this bird yesterday while waiting ours target, the bird stand 5 feed at us looking at us and definitely not able to focus to have a picture. 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

3. Spot-necked Babbler, 斑颈穗鹛, 斑頸穗鶥, Stachyris strialata, エリボシモリチメドリ

– active and moving within bushes and making various sharp, loud call

– 移动快在丛里，叫的蛮好听+响亮。

update 202312

– arrived the famous Tapan road, stop the first location as saw the whistling-thrush on the road and not long heard a not so familiar call and soon Dwi say it is a babbler and make some small effort to have it in view and not so open photo due to very lowlight. 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。

4. Sumatran Ground-Cuckoo, 苏门答腊地鹃, 蘇門答臘綠嘴地鵑, Carpococcyx viridis, スマトラハシリカッコウ

– a very beautiful Ground-Cuckoo and it is as beautiful as the Bornean Ground-Cuckoo. it is shy, move fast on ground

– 非常漂亮的地鹃，就如婆罗洲地鹃一样的美。通常害羞+在地上快速走动

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 202403

– give some motivation for my friend … jiayou

– 朋友看到这鸟照片中毒。来多一张，加油

####

update 202401

– no one can explain how excited we were when we got this super good view of this bird after 2 full morning waiting and this beautiful bird give us amazing view at the “not common” spot

– 很难讲诉我们当时的心情，等了2天后。这鸟在“鸟点”外出现。真的太美，兴奋。

#####

update 202312

– one of ours Sumatra birding main target

– 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

5. Schneider’s Pitta, 施氏八色鸫, 許尼氏八色鳥, Hydrornis schneideri, キタスマトラヤイロチョウ

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

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.

– Any how it is 20th Pitta for guest…

– Am using new CANON RF200800 which is small aperture lens. But with a travel tripod assist, I managed to have most the picture hit on at ~1/10-1/30

– 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。

– 主要还是用佳能最新 RF200800, 光圈很小（为了轻便），可是有小脚架的帮忙。我主要还是拍到1/10-1/30照片。

202312, Mount Kerinchi, Sumatra, Indonesia

6. Mountain Scops-Owl, 黄嘴角鸮, 黃嘴角鴞, Otus spilocephalus, タイワンコノハズク

7. Bronze-tailed Peacock-Pheasant, 铜尾孔雀雉, 銅尾孔雀雉, Polyplectron chalcurum, アオオビコクジャク

as other Peacock-Pheasant, it is shy and look at the body feather pattern, this Peacock-Pheasant simply beautiful

update 202312

– as other Peacock-Pheasant, it is shy and not easy to have a good view in the wild. This pair of Sumatra endemic, will show up at one of the feeding station but this male will chase any bird that come close make us only saw the main target Schneider’s Pitta (2 times before light, 1 time night)

– 雨其他孔雀稚一样，漂亮，害羞。都不容易看到。在施氏八色鸫“喂食”点，有一双回来。很漂亮可是可惜他们在，都会赶其他鸟。所以我们一个早上都没看到其他鸟来。（他们出现后）

8. Sunda Forktail, 姬燕尾, 姬燕尾, Enicurus velatus, ヒメエンビシキチョウ

– as other forktail, a small and very shy bird. But it is a beautiful one with rufous head instead ovarall black-and-white.

– 与其他燕尾一样，都是很怕人。也很不一样，大部分燕尾都是黑+白

update 202312

– while we walking on the trail for Ground Cuckoo, this bird always infront us but keep a distance. We didn’t spent too much time for it as rushing for the main target

– 当我们赶去看地鹃的时候，这鸟一只就在我们前面。可是我们没太理会这鸟。大家心情都在地鹃哪了。

ョウ

9. Sumatran Bulbul, 苏门答腊短脚鹎, 蘇門答臘短腳鵯, Ixos sumatranus

– a very streaky bulbul and overall very gray.

– overall bulbul, leafbird and most of the colorful birds, songbirds are very low density at west Sumatra

– 一只非常有条纹的鹎，整体呈灰色。

– 在苏门答腊，鹎，叶鹎，鸠都几乎很难看到。

update 202401

– the famous Tapan road had few landslides so we mostly walking at the road (~15-20km) but overall Bulbul, leafbirds, dove almost not heard or visible … but this endemic came down to feed berry while we have good view of ~12 Blue Nuthatch.

– 在塔版路，好几个地方塌方。我只有步行（15-20公里）可是还是非常少鹎，叶鹎，鸠的声音+踪影。这一只特有种，突然飞下来吃小果实。

10. Pink-headed Fruit-Dove, 粉红颈果鸠, 粉紅頸果鳩, Ptilinopus porphyreus, ベニガシラヒメアオバト

– such a beautiful fruit-dove with pink head which cannot go wrong

update 202401

– always wanted to see this bird, and so excited to found it at Sumatra while we actually looking at Sunda Owlet which just ~10m from this bird

– 一直以来都非常需要看这鸟，也没特别期望在苏门答腊看到（太多人捉鸟）。当我们找到它时，是多么的兴奋。

11. Sumatran Frogmouth, 苍头蟆口鸱, 苍头蟆口鸱, Batrachostomus poliolophus, スマトラガマグチヨタカ

– as other frogmouth it should be nocturnal and always good to meet one in day time look cute.

– 蟆口鸱是夜行鸟，早上见到他绝对是兴奋的一克

update 20240108

– one of ours main target, but missed the night and morning version on day1. But got it on day 2 for both night and day version. It really look like Bornean Frogmouth with “short” tailed

– 我们主要目标鸟之一。可是我们在这鸟点，尽然晚上+早上都没看到。可是在第2天晚上+早上版都拍到。可爱

#####

12. Rajah Scops-Owl, 拉氏角鸮, 蘇門答臘角鴞, Otus brookii, ラジャーオオコノハズク

a owl we always heard and wanted to see in Borneo, even it can be different sub-species or species (in future) but It is much easier here .. a small owl like other small and active in dark

– 这鸟是我们在婆罗洲非常希望拍到的鸟。几乎不可能看到。虽然应该是不一样亚种。在这非常容易，虽然也有一定的难度。小，不容易辨别方向。

update 20240114

– even it is high chance to find it’s roosting bird, but we always like to find the bird in night. Ours’ first morning, have a good try and the bird didn’t make any sound… I am amaze how I found it (haha, by the thermal camera.. found it once very near and 2nd time quite a distance)

– 虽然在这，当地导游都会找到早上版的。可是我与我的客人都是喜欢自己找找（不喜欢等人家找到叫你去看）。第一个早上，我们就去找找。到森林后，没很久就找到了。（很不可思议的找到，它没叫！。。不啦我是有热量仪相机找到啦）

13. Rusty-breasted Wren-Babbler, 苏门答腊鹪鹛, 鏽胸鷦鶥, Gypsophila rufipectus, スマトラサザイチメドリ

– as other Wren-Babbler this one same moving really fast and active surprise it is not very shy. Moving in pair and bush fast

update 202401

– almost not possible to get the picture of this endemic bird with bird watcher … but lucky or not so lucky the main target is no show … while we waiting, I personal looking for this bird and lucky to have this better moment for photo and I actually got 3 in 1 frame.

– 几乎不大可能在短时间拍到这特有种鸟，非常活跃，跳非常快。可是运气好（还是不好？）我们主要目标没出现，只好在这等待。让我有一点时间去拍拍这鸟。鹪鹛啊，我最爱的鸟种。

14. 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

– 蛮普通的见不停，可是每一次近点的。

15. Red-billed Partridge, 红嘴山鹧鸪, 紅嘴山鷓鴣, Arborophila rubrirostris, アカハシミヤマテッケイ, Puyuh-gonggong sumatera

a very beautiful dark, highland partridge, saw it move it pair

Again this is another reason setup customize button for my R3 which can shoot in complex environment (just like this) point the focus points (I using 5 point) on to any part of the bird and eye will be lock focus ..very useful and suitable for people like shooting wildbird in move

– 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！

16. Fire-tufted Barbet, 火簇拟鴷, 火簇擬啄木鳥, Psilopogon pyrolophus, アカフサゴシキドリ, TAKUR API, Burung Takor Api

update 202409

– 一种非常常见的鸟，经常出现在城市附近，时常在附近发出嘈杂的叫声。

– 在我们开始漫长一天之前，这是在苏门答腊看到的第一只鸟。当我们向上行走时，它就站在路边。

202411, Mount Kerinchi, Sumatra, Indonesia

18. Golden Babbler, 金头穗鹛, 金頭穗鶥, Cyanoderma chrysaeum, キガシラモリチメドリ, KEKICAU-KECIL EMAS

update 202411

– This active, tiny bird features a dark-streaked crown, a small black mask, and a vibrant golden-yellow body.

– 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。

19. Marbled Wren-Babbler, 石纹鹪鹛, 石紋鷦鶥, Turdinus marmoratus, ウロコサザイチメドリ, KEKICAU-MURAI BESAR BUKIT

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 202411

– 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。

another special tour, which has main target of this Standardwing Bird-of-Paradise.

It is a real good experience to be Halmahera, we just spend 3 nights. We easily got ours’ targets seen.

This is our main target, on 2nd morning. We hike 3.7km straight to the “hide” (on the way, we heard owlet-nightjar which is my favorite bird but we failed to see the bird and also rushing to the hide for main target.

Arrived before 6am, while every still dark. We can heard many of them already calling infront of us but just very brief view. after 30minutes, finally we got clear view of this amazing beautiful bird. But I still only got some extreme high ISO picture even with my CANON RF400mm F2.8.

Long story short, the birds stay for long and from ISO 25600 – ISO800, Managed to have perfect view of the bird and pictures… oohh video too .

Immediate of this target, we walking out and birding. There is another very good story to talk about “pick up service for the Pitta”

– 非常不一样的一次特别目标鸟团。我们其实主要3 只鸟加最好看完可以看到的猫头鹰。可是，来到这么好的鸟点。我们几乎没浪费任何时间（天气太热，我们还是有2-3小时中午到房间休息）

– 这只天堂鸟是我们主要鸟。我们到了哈马黑拉岛后第二天早山立刻步行3.7公里到鸟点。在路中听了好几次鼻鸱可是我们只是停留很短时间。所以没看到。大概1.5小时后到达鸟点，还是很暗（6am)可是这鸟已在叫不停。我们还只是看到影子而已。过了30分钟。终于看到清楚了。大家都高兴了。可是，我还是用ISO25600 (还是用CANON RF 400mm F2.8) .可是很幸运，鸟留下来到天蛮亮的。终于看到拍到。

– 回程中，我们再次去看白胸八色鸫. 当地导游竟然让我们知道人是可以与动物共处的。之前他一直讲不用担心八色鸫，他们不在的话。他会去“接“它！让我有机会下次再写写那个故事（希望有时间，完了这团后又要很忙到9月了。

– arrived Halmahera, before anything go for this main target … due to long travel everyone seem tired but luckily the bird appear not that long compare to other waiting 😀 and it is huge in size, some with 800mm little bit suffer to take whole bird into frame

– 到达哈马黑拉岛，第一件事就是到这个点拿下目标鸟之一。其实有2个机会可是鸟人心情。还是越快拿下越好。可是因为长途跋涉，每个人都很累。还好比起其他八色鸫，这只让我们等了大概1++小时还好吧。喂食点，走到这也不难。

update 202309

– 2nd trip to Halmahera coming soon, can;t visit this amazing place again. Hope get some better pictures of night birds this time .. and this Pick up service Pitta sure another highlight of the tour soon

– 今年第2次到哈马黑拉岛，希望拍多点晚上的鸟。而这一只八色鸫应该是主打鸟之一吧。可是太容易了吧。可以接送的。

####

update 202304

– post this before I get busy months again. This is one of the most amazing experience on this trip. When day 1 arrived with heavy rain, after rain stop we did quick birding surrounding our homestay. when we walk near the river, owner say why not we go for quick try on the Pitta and keep mentioned “if the bird is nearby or little bit distance he can do pick-up service” !! (I am thinking pick-up service hmmm). But the bird came without long wait or any issue. (so we missed the pick-up service show)

– next day after Standardwing BOP, we walk back to homestay and pass by the Pitta spot. We would like to try for this pitta again for male. After long wait (~15minutes) , he say the bird is far lets’ him pick-up the pitta .. I was like hmm how ? But he walk into the bush and use whistler/call. After ~10minutes wait, we heard the bird call getting nearer and soon we saw him walking out from the bush. and you can see the Pitta is following him coming out from the bush (may be ~10-15m away) !!!!!! “pick up service”

– 觉得需要把这先写下，这是我在这11天团里觉得最不值得分享经验之一。（或在这一生中也蛮特别）。我们经过一天的飞机-车-八色鸫-船-车-大雨的折磨。终于到了民宿。雨停后我们也不闲的去看鸟，当然我是唯一带相机的我就拍拍记录照给大家。走走的到了河边，民宿主人问我们要试试八色鸫吗？我们觉得时间不多了，怕不出来浪费时间。可是他说，不怕鸟不在。“我可以去接它过来” ！！！心想什么鬼，接！！！可是我们到后八色鸫一下就出来让我们看的兴奋了。（主要目标之一达标）

第二天一早我们先去看/拍幡羽极乐鸟。容易地拿下后。大家也想回去八色鸫的点看有运气看到巨大的公鸟吗。可是这次等了15分钟等候完全没声音，”他“就说没问题。我去接它过来！（心想又夸口）。他走了近草丛，大概10分钟后我们听到八色鸫叫了。然后他从草丛里走了出来，然后最不可思议的事。八色鸫在跟随他（大概10-15米）后跳了出来！！！我们都讲，这样都可以？我终于知道人-鸟是一起这样的。”接送服务“！

4. Common Paradise-Kingfisher, 普通仙翡翠, 普通仙翡翠, Tanysiptera galatea, ラケットカワセミ, Cekakak-pita biasa

– A long-tailed kingfisher of lowland forests. White underparts and rump, dark blue upperparts with pale blue shoulder and crown. Long white tail with 2 extended central tail feathers ending in spatula tips. Sits still for long periods whilst slowly pumping its tail. Very similar to Little Paradise-Kingfisher, but Common Paradise-Kingfisher is larger, with a paler crown, white rather than blue outer tail feathers and a heavier bill. The safest way to separate, however is by vocalization. Heard more often than seen. Song, a rapidly accelerating and slightly rising series of dry notes. [Ebird]

普通仙翡翠（学名：Tanysiptera galatea）是佛法僧目翠鸟科的鸟类。成鸟有蓝紫前额，蓝顶蓝枕。分布于太平洋诸岛屿和华莱士区。在一般的低地热带雨林，季风林，从海平面到300米都有分布。甚至在某些产地它们可以达到的高度为820米。完全肉食性的翠鸟，大部分的时间是在地面上寻找食物，用嘴挖掘土壤捕食昆虫，其中包括蜗牛、甲虫、蚱蜢、毛毛虫、蜈蚣、蚯蚓，也吃小型爬行动物蜥蜴等。

普通仙翡翠身长22 cm，雄鸟体重58-65g，雌鸟体重55-69 g。成鸟有蓝紫前额，蓝顶蓝枕。眼先黑色，脸颊和腮部蓝紫色。两侧颈部、肩胛至脑后背部有一蓝黑色半领。小覆羽黑色，中覆羽亮天蓝色。其余的飞翼上方是蓝紫色。尾部形成一个白色环带，中央抽出两根十分细长的绶带，外缘蓝色，末端纯白色膨大成拍状。嘴红色，虹膜深褐色，腿部黄褐色。^[1]幼鸟的头部羽毛深褐色，与黄色的眼先前额接壤，其它地方是红色。眼眉又长又黑。双翼，尾巴均是深褐色。大多数覆羽的内衬明亮的红色。尾巴中央是蓝色，其下浅黄色，有小覆羽羽为黑色，喉咙和胸部边缘有纹。嘴是灰棕色。^[1]

51. Sulawesi Masked-Owl, 苏拉仓鸮, 蘇拉威西蒼鴞, Tyto rosenbergii

A very large barn-owl with a gray facial disk, gray crown, and rufous upperparts and wings with scattered dark markings. Prefers open country, like agricultural land, plantations, and forest edge, from lowlands to mountains. Limited to Sulawesi. Distinguished from smaller Minahassa Masked-Owl by gray face, gray forecrown, more extensive dark markings across wings and upperparts, and preference for open country.[Ebird]

与仓鸮非常像，叫声也像。在苏拉威西北部不很普通。这次在最后一晚见到斑鹰鸮后。竟然听到这鸟叫。在天空上飞。

update 202410

– a Sulawesi endemic with very Barn Owl look alike and call alike … white overall compare to Minahasa Masked Owl more “light rufous” and slight look different

– a owl that we tried many times, many location.. but after few tried what a surprise to see it in one dusk but missed the picture opportunity. But went for 2nd night and got it flying on the sky .. and lucky to have CANON focus monster R3 with RF400mm F2.8 to have this ..

– 苏拉威西特有种，与普通仓鸮很像+叫声也像。都是较白色。

– 一只在苏拉威西北部找了好几次的鸮。竟然在一个找夜鸟的时候在最普通的地方见到。可是第一天见到拍不到，很快就消失。第二天再去，见到他们飞过。幸好带上佳能R3 （在这种时候对焦应该没什么问题）加上RF400mm F2.8 … 轻松拿下

#####

update 202304

– last night of birding, after Speckled Boobook, immediate got this rare endemic and managed to capture few flying (not really enough shutter speed for sharp picture) . It flying high up with torch the light still not enough for any picture opportunity. Thanks CANON R3 it lock focus in such dark environment and track it down.

lucky day for us !!!

– 最后一晚，过了斑鹰鸮。立刻见到这稀有特有种。可是在高高的飞，还好有佳能R3 。晚上对焦+追焦几乎没什么问题。可是还是不够光线+速度。还好有几张可以看看的照片。

辛运啊。

52. Minahassa Masked-Owl, 米纳仓鸮, 米納倉鴞, Tyto inexspectata, ミナハサメンフクロウ, Serak Minahasa

A forest barn-owl with rich rufous coloration over its entire body. Particularly note the rufous facial disk and forecrown to aid identification. Juvenile is browner-winged, with speckled gray underparts. Inhabits forest understory within lowlands and mountains, avoiding open country. Confined to Sulawesi. Smaller and more richly rufous-colored overall than Sulawesi Masked-Owl, with a rufous facial disk and forecrown and fewer dark markings on the wings and upperparts. Also note preference for closed-forest habitat. Call is a single long piercing screech: “SHEEEEEEEER.” [Ebird]

update 202310

8k video from CANON EOS R5 | liewwk Nature

One of the reasons to own 8k video most probably is to crop the video like this one to get more clarity (but I didn’t reduce it to 4k just want to show 8k video and zoom in)

let’s have a look at 4k and tell me how’s this video looks like? very good? good? normal?

Our Main Targets, 5 endemic Kingfishers

1a. Green-backed Kingfisher, 绿背翡翠, Actenoides monachus, チャバラショウビン, Cekakak-hutan tunggir-hijau

one of the very common endemics, see this almost every day at lowland forest … and quite tame to get close

update 2020 Feb 21

very common and see almost everyday at Tangkoko

1b. Green-backed Kingfisher (Black-headed), 绿背翡翠, Actenoides monachus capucinus, チャバラショウビン

this is a special bird for Sulawesi as it is only for South-Sulawesi (we got this from Makassar). the rest of the area having “Blue-headed” instead of Black-headed

update 202310

– a special target at South Sulawesi, it is not as easy as the Tangkoko version of Green-backed. Look different on head , darker

– 苏拉威西南部其中一只目标鸟。与谈果果绿背翡翠有点像，可是头部黑。也没这么乖。

####

update 202012

2. Lilac-cheeked Kingfisher, 苏拉蓝耳翠鸟, 蘇拉藍耳翠鳥, Cittura cyanotis cyanotis, アオミミショウビン, Raja-udang pipi-ungu

another quite common and tame endemic Kingfisher … even the color make it slightly difficult to spot

3. Sulawesi Dwarf-Kingfisher, 苏拉威西小三趾翠鸟, 蘇拉威西小三趾翠鳥, Ceyx fallax, セレベスカワセミ, Udang-merah sulawesi

Females lack eye-ring, unlike larger female Brown-throated Sunbird, and are less uniform underneath than female Elegant Sunbird. [EBird]

– make high speed repeat vibration call (refer video below)

Predominantly found in lowland forest, though also ventures into lower foothills. (ebird)

update 2018 Oct 8

saw this owl 2 different location in 2 day, suppose to look for frogmouth but saw these birds twice but missed the Blyth’s frogmouth for 2 nights 🙁

update 2017 Jul 30 – rare owl for Malaysia .. was lucky to spot it months back.. too bad was too busy to tried for a picture .. finally got a record shot. The same week, got a very good photo of the owl at another location … very lucky saw it keep calling

Very lucky to witness how it call and shake the body .. it is a 4k record

7. Dusky eagle-owl, 乌雕鸮, 烏雕鴞, Bubo coromandus, ウスグロワシミミズク, BURUNG-HANTU BERTANDUK KELABU ASIA

– rare bird for Malaysia

– A very large, grayish-brown owl with yellow eyes and distinctive ears. Note the fine barring and dark streaks on the pale underparts, and white patches on the shoulders.

update 202410

– a not so common owl found Malaysia. Big size and with very vocal if found the correct one.

– I am making some nearby forest for trying the new CANON R1 to trying for AF lock on, AF tracking, Image Quality, Pre-capture … and trying again the in camera upscale. Found this bird roost at one of the Palm Oil plantation before strong sunlight come in, the bird sudden flying out to its’ roosting side.the R1 as expected captured most of the frame without any issue even with background change.

– 一直马来西亚不很容易见到的大鸮。通常叫的很厉害。

– 这个月，开始要测试佳能的新相机（R1）上个月已测试了工程机。（其实没太多问题除了开不到RAW档）。其实，不知道还需要测试什么。R3的对焦对我来讲已几乎没错过任何的雨林情况。可是，还是抱有蛮多希望增强一些我真的需要的。对焦，追焦，画质应该大致都是很好。我对“预拍”（这个应该是佳能的卖点），只要控制缓冲好。这个预拍是一只都预拍，不像其他牌子。用了后，都要等上好几秒。在到达第一个点，找到这鸟在黑暗处站。等到光线好点时，拍下蛮多照片。可是这鸟突然飞出来，一直到远处（去睡觉了）。真如我的想法一样，这种情况。没错过任何一刻。

#####

update 202303

– a wonderful dawn light with lovely bird looking at us. It is time to go back to sleep.

– 早上漂亮的光线。它看着我们，应该是讲晚安。下次再见

update 202302

– 每次见这鸟都兴奋无比。尤其见他飞向我。佳能R 这种对焦+追焦。多么容易

update 202209

– in one month, 2 sites 6 birds found. Lucky guests, 4 birds calling and 2 are so near to use. They might fighting for territory.

– a good practice of my guests, we leave them alone after short time of photograph session. They say “don’t disturb them too long” ! and they are photographers .

– 一个月内2个地方见到4只（遇到6只，2只听到看到很远）。这4只一直在叫，可能在争区域。

– 2位摄影客人，只是拍了几分钟就要离开了。他们讲不要打扰太久。

– what a day end with fantastic bird, heard the bird call once. Think guest doubt about my hearing (i think). But I am pretty sure the bird make call few times and roughly know the direction. After 1++ hour spent, we had good view of this bird.

– 我听到这鸟叫，可是客人几次都没听到。（他应该也怀疑我听错，可是我很肯定它叫了几声）。终于1个小时多的寻找，看到他了。

update 202102

– another good moment before last light the bird just flying out from roosting

– the fast focus lock of the X-T4 and tracking make me able to have many keepers of this bird flying just in short distance

– 這鳥在天黑前突然飛出來。X-T4 對焦很快與準。
