Is a long journey from Malaysia – Sulawesi – Jayapura (~26 hours without a bed, too much coffee and waiting) …for the day1 when we arrive, we give Magnificent Riflebird a try but failed to have any photo .. but the bird was well seen above our “hide”

Day2 – Nimbokrang

We start our drive, walk ~430am, 15 min drive and ~20min walk … the first Bird-of-paradise is waiting for us .. before we walk into our “hide”. The bird keeps calling, trying to attract female … but seem it is not attractive enough. only one female comes close and fast. The male trying to “show off” with some action but the female flew off just immediate it trying to show his “dance”

I am mostly recording video, so this picture I share is a Jpeg extract from Canon Digital Photo Professional software …

1. Twelve-wired Bird-of-Paradise, 十二线极乐鸟十二線極樂鳥Seleucidis melanoleucus, ジュウニセンフウチョウ, Cendrawasih Mati-kawat

After 5 days of “enjoy”, reasonable food, easy walk (flat), air-cond room, not far from airport and bird spots .. we finally move to 2nd destination Arfak Mountain..

After got the information before, we get ready with some extra food … sleeping beg, insect repellent, etc .. just before we going into a “no Phone” (only a particular spot can get a phone signal which is a bit distance from our “homestay”. After ~2 hours of offroad travel, we arrive at our homestay a little bit late and with rain .. so we call this a day and enjoy our cold stay

Here, we need to split into a few groups to decide on different BoP hide due to limited “hole” for photography …

Immature resembles female. Found in canopy of tall forests in lowlands and foothills, confined to three islands in north Moluccas. Regularly sighted at known display sites. Very loud when displaying, giving raucous “WAA-WAA…” and “KEE-KEE…” notes. [Ebird]

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。

An eye-catching white starling with black tips to the tail and wings, bare blue facial skin, and long plumes that hang down the nape. Juvenile is shorter-crested than adult, with yellow wash. Found in small groups in open forest, where it spends time in the trees and foraging on the ground. Avoids dense forest. Restricted to northwest Bali. Differs from Black-winged Starling in having the black on the wings confined to tips, and in showing blue facial skin. Song is an untidy jumble of scratchy, chattering notes and whistles. [Ebird]

长冠八哥(学名:Leucopsar rothschildi):是一种大型椋鸟,体长约25厘米,雌雄相似,外形俊朗,羽冠发达,眼睛四周和面部裸出,裸露部分为蓝色,全身羽毛纯白色,尾部和翼端的边缘呈黑色,脚灰色。全身白色,具较长冠羽,羽冠不像一些羽冠发达的鸟类复杂多变,却十分有特点,有丝带状的羽冠简洁随意飘洒。1910年由英国鸟类学家沃尔特·罗斯柴尔德(Walter Rothschild)命名。 [1]
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

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。

update 202401

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

– 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。

update 202403

– just finish my fist long tour (19days) which sight 366++ (ebird).. many good memory for sure … and this common bird make us spent so much time to have a clear view and even the Bornean Bristlehead above us… no one want to have a look at it … all of suddenly these 2 birds pop up and making some displaying, dancing for us …

– a very active and normally not easy to have full open view

– 刚完成19天观鸟团,看到366种鸟(Ebird) (拍到~190种吧。。不是纪录照)太多甜酸。。。包括这一只非常普通的鸟,就用了好几天都没办法看好。。。在这一幕前一天,婆罗洲棘头鵙在头上都没人愿意找(我们看2次了)。几乎都放弃时,在我们碰碰运气找大蓝八色鸫前。它们在我们面前跳起舞来。。。。大家都笑啦。虽然普通。。。。

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。
