– after failed to get main target of the trip, spent few hours in KNP and seem few groups looking for this Trogon. We just casual looking for anything.. all of sudden a Juvi fly and perch in-front of me and calling all the people I know and everyone smile .. few moment the juvi seem still stand close to either adult male or female ..this is one good moment where papa with daughter .. remind me and JieXi

– new workflow with new DXO pure Raw, seem faster than my previous workflow but the picture seem look flat …

– 主要目标失败后。我们的下午2-3个小时就在神山公园走走,还好有几只朋友的目标都达标。然后就随便走走,有位鸟导在找这鸟。当我自己走走时这鸟自己飞到我面前,打了电话给他们,没很久也拿下阔嘴鸟。大家高高心心。

One of Borneo’s most sought-after birds had remained quiet for the second morning in a row. However, shortly after we began our walk, we had a close encounter—though not a clear view—of both this elusive bird and the Bare-headed Laughingthrush.

update 202602

We were just out for a casual walk when we heard a strange alert sound coming from the birds. It turned out to be some birds trying mobbing to this tiny owl! It perched quite low and stayed remarkably close while we were heading to lunch. Even though we weren’t specifically looking for owls today, who could possibly resist such a cute little thing?
我们正在闲逛时,突然听到鸟类发出一种奇怪的警报声。原来是在追赶这只小猫头鹰!就在我们准备去吃午饭前,它落在离我们很近的低处,完全不怕人。虽然今天并没打算去看鸟,但面对这么软萌可爱的小家伙,谁能不心动呢?

update 202510

We spent around 30 minutes listening to the Red-throated Barbet calling, but couldn’t get a clear view. Luckily, a few other species came in close, including this tiny and adorable owl!

Sometimes, there’s too much info on social media—but here’s my experience: I used the Canon R5 Mark II with full-area AF and animal eye detection. The owl was about 30 meters away, and paired with the RF 100-500mm, it locked onto the eye perfectly without hesitation. Highly recommend trying it out yourself!

我们等了大约30分钟,一直听到丽色拟鴷在叫,但始终没有清晰的视野。不过,其他一些鸟儿飞了过来,包括这只可爱又迷你的小猫头鹰!

有时候,社交媒体上的信息太多了,反而容易迷茫。但这里是我实际的经验:我使用的是 Canon R5 Mark II,相机设置为全区域自动对焦+动物眼睛识别。这只猫头鹰大约在30米远的地方,用 RF100-500mm 拍摄,相机毫无犹豫就锁定了眼睛对焦。推荐大家亲自试试!

After returning from Sumatra, Indonesia, some of us extended our trip by two days to Fraser’s Hill, Malaysia. As anticipated, the rainy season brought limited activity. However, this tiny owl made our day by perching very low, just about 10 feet away—our first sighting of it!

从印度尼西亚苏门答腊回来后,我们中的一些人延长了两天行程,前往马来西亚的福雷泽山。正如预期的那样,这个季节雨水不断,活动不多。然而,这只小猫头鹰飞得很低,距离我们仅约10英尺,成功点亮了我们的一天。这是我们第一次目睹它!

Another change since the last update: the Brush Cuckoo is now classified as the Sunda Brush Cuckoo. It is easily recognizable by its gray head and “rusty” breast, though it can sometimes be confused with the Plaintive Cuckoo.

This marks my final Malaysia tour for 2025, and once again, it came with its own unique challenges—just like 3 out of my last 4 tours.

This time, the guest had limited mobility, making it difficult to walk or even adjust position to look for our main targets. Despite that, luck was on our side. While simply sitting in a chair, this beautiful bird came in close and gave us a wonderful photo opportunity!

这是我2025年最后一个马来西亚行程了,又是一个充满挑战的旅程——最近4个行程中有3个都遇到不同的挑战。

update 202411

This is not a rare bird, but it is certainly one of the more challenging birds to spot in Malaysia.

As the tour was coming to an end and we prepared to head back to town, we made a few stops for this bird. Shortly after, we were rewarded with an excellent view of a female.

这并不是一种稀有的鸟类,但在马来西亚确实是一种难以目睹的鸟。

在行程接近尾声、我们准备返回城镇时,我们为寻找这只鸟停留了好几次。不久之后,我们便幸运地看到到了一只雌鸟的精彩身影。

202411, Fraser Hill, Selangor, Malaysia

36. Lesser Shortwing, 白喉短翅鸫, 白喉短翅鶇, Brachypteryx leucophris, ヒメコバネヒタキ, Burung Murai Kakap

update 202411

This small bird, commonly heard at Fraser’s Hill, Cameron Highlands, Sumatra’s Kerinci, and Genting Highlands, is often challenging to spot or photograph despite its frequent calls. However, at specific feeding spots, it tends to become tame and reliably appears when humans approach, displaying behavior similar to the Pygmy Cupwing. Notably, it often moves with its wings raised, making its behavior quite distinctive.

With the new Canon R1’s Continuous Pre-recording feature, every time the bird perches, I half-press the shutter to keep it in focus. As soon as the bird moves or raises its wings, I fully press the shutter, capturing everything that occurred 0.5 seconds prior. This ensures I never miss the perfect moment.

这种小鸟常见于福隆港、高原金马仑、苏门答腊克林芝和云顶高原,叫声非常常听见,但却不容易看到或拍到。尽管如此,在某些喂食点,这种鸟会变得非常驯服,只要有人接近就会出现。它的行为与小鸫莺相似,尤其是移动时常常保持翅膀上扬,非常有特色。

借助全新的佳能R1连续预录功能,每当小鸟停留时,我会半按快门以保持对焦。只要小鸟开始移动或抬起翅膀,我便全按快门,将前0.5秒发生的所有画面记录到存储卡中,确保不错过任何精彩瞬间。

37. Malayan Whistling-Thrush, 马来啸鸫, 馬來嘯鶇, Myophonus robinsoni, マラヤルリチョウ, TIUNG-BELACAN GUNUNG

update 202507

On day one, this bird was right on the railing—such an exciting moment (at least for me, and I hope for my guests too). It might not be the most eye-catching bird for everyone, but I still tried hard to get a good shot since it was such a great opportunity. Even though I’ve had two close, daytime encounters with it this year and got decent photos, I’m still thrilled every time I see this Peninsular Malaysia endemic.

第一天,这只鸟就站在栏杆上——让我非常兴奋(希望我的客人也一样)。虽然它对很多人来说可能不是最吸引的鸟,但我还是很努力地想拍一张好照片,因为这是个很难得的机会。即使今年已经两次近距离白天遇到它并拍到不错的照片,但每次看到这只马来半岛特有种,我依然很激动。

What a surprise to encounter this bird twice during our stay at Fraser’s Hill! Despite the short trip and bad weather, we saw it once in extremely low light and again at midday, offering a much better view.

It was so exciting to hear this just as we were leaving Fraser’s Hill. In our group, three of us are seriously working on seeing bird families around the world, and although we had three sightings during the tour, this one gave us the best view—perhaps even better than the one at Sungai Relau. Plus, I managed to get a photo of this one. Such a lovely bird!

我们正要离开福隆港时听到这个消息,真是太令人兴奋了!我们小组中有三位成员正认真致力于观赏世界各地的鸟类家族。虽然这次行程中我们有过三次目击记录,但这一次的观赏视角是最好的——甚至可能比Sg Relau的那次还要棒。而且,这次我还拍到了照片。真是一只可爱的鸟!

update 202602

Day 2 of our tour was a major success, with most of our target goals achieved. A highlight was when a typically shy and hyperactive woodpecker approached us almost immediately, right as we spotted our Malayan Laughingthrush. It stayed low and close by for quite a while. Fast forward to Day 3, and the luck continues—another bird just perched right in front of us at eye level, only about 5 meters away.
观鸟之旅的第二天非常圆满,大部分预定目标都已达成。最难忘的是,正当我们观测到马来噪鹛时,一只平时既害羞又活跃的啄木鸟几乎立刻就飞到了我们身边。它在低处的近距离位置停留了很久。今天已经是第三天了,好运仍在继续,刚才又有一只鸟飞到我们面前约5米处,与我们视线齐平地栖息着。

A lucky encounter—without much effort, this beautiful bird appeared just about 10 meters in front of us and stayed long enough for a few good shots.

I truly miss the conversations with my best buddy… and now I understand how food and water can lose their taste and feel bitter.

这是一个幸运的时刻,几乎没有花什么力气,这只美丽的鸟就站在我们前方约10米处,而且停留了足够久的时间,让我们拍了几张不错的照片。

我真的很想念我最好的朋友和我之间的对话……现在我也能体会到,为什么食物和水会变得无味甚至苦涩。

Like in my other sharings, I always enjoy showing what birding looks like today. There’s no absolute right or wrong way—whether it’s through feeding or simply walking, listening, and observing, the joy of birding is what matters. In this final sharing session, we came across this active and noisy bird—quite uncommon, especially to photograph!

就像我其他的分享一样,我一直很喜欢向大家展示我们现在的观/摄鸟方式。没有绝对的对或错——不论是用喂食方式引鸟,还是单纯地靠走路、聆听和观察,观鸟的乐趣才是最重要的。在这最后一场分享中,我们遇到了一只活跃又吵的鸟——非常少见,尤其是能拍到照片更是不容易!

One of the most common birds at Fraser’s Hill, often seen feeding around flowers. Like other flowerpeckers, it’s small and constantly on the move—making it a fun but challenging subject to photograph.

这是福隆港最常见的鸟之一,常常在花朵附近觅食。像其他啄花鸟一样,它动作非常快,不容易拍到,但拍起来很有趣。

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。

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

– 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

– 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!

Mount Kerinci, Sumatra, Indonesia

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.

– 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。

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

– 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。

– 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。

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。

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。

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。

Nonbreeding adults and juveniles lack the rusty head, have prominent fine stripes on the crown, dark ear patch, and are overall paler than Red-necked. Flight call a soft “prreee.” [Ebird]
