– very lucky morning, we decided to have a walk after got the main target of the “Rail-Babbler tour”. I heard a weird call, and saw something orange fly low, first bird I guess is Cinnamon-Rumped Trogon. But the call the bird consistent  make is different from the ordinary call. But a bird just fly infront of us ~10feet away. Bingo.. it is the star bird. This bird very tame compare to other , stay calm, close and allow us move and get close to have some good photos.

– I am sure this is top3 bird of 202307

– 非常幸运的一天。主要目标拿下后,这团其实是4天找白眉长颈鸫,可是在昨天(第一天)已拿下。今天我们一位轻轻松松的看看鸟。可是,在一天步道上。我听到可疑叫声+见到橙色鸟飞低。我就猜是这鸟,不久这鸟就飞来我们10尺前。可是都不是很好拍照。可是,他太给力了。飞来飞去近的,低的还让我们走近拍照。

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。

– pretty common across the center of Halmahera, almost can heard it’s call.

– cute and not that shy owl.

– 很特别的叫声,外表也不一样。蛮好看。

– 在哈马黑拉岛的特有种。几乎很普通,那都可以听到叫声。

– 可爱,也不很害羞的鸮。

update 202304

– first night, after heavy rain and long travel. we decided not look for the owl and owlet-nightjar. Next night, we didn’t spend much time to ticked this bird and Moluccan Owlet-nightjar at the same spot.

– very cute and not really shy to human.

– 第一晚经过飞机-八色鸫-船-车-大雨的一天。我们没去找这鸮。第二晚,晚饭后不用很久我们就拿下这鸮与冠裸鼻鸱(我最喜欢鸟种之一)

– 非常可爱与其他角鸮不一样。也不害羞。也很普通。3晚都听到。

3. Ivory-breasted Pitta, 白胸八色鸫, 牙白胸八色鳥, Pitta maxima

A distinctive large, plump, short-tailed, long-legged forest bird with a black upperside and white underside, a striking red area on the lower belly, and a conspicuous silvery-blue shoulder patch. Juvenile duller, with buff on underparts. Shy, more often heard than seen. Usually found singly or in pairs in humid lowland and hill forest. Forages on the ground, but while calling often perches high in the understory or canopy. Very vocal; frequently given song is a mournful wolf whistle. [Ebird]

– 非常大的八色鸫。背部全黑。前部白+红。很特别。在这岛上,几乎那都听到这鸟的叫声。

update 202310

– 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。

202310, Halmahera, Indonesia

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“

######################################################

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 …

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。

101. 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。

7. Bali Myna, 长冠八哥, 峇里島長冠八哥, Leucopsar rothschildi, カンムリシロムク, Jalak Bali

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 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。

Ploceidae series | 织布鸟科 | liewwk Nature – 1-2 [update 20250128]

Normally refer weavers, weaverbirds, weaver finches and bishops. These names come from the nests of intricately woven vegetation created by birds in this family.

大小似麻雀,嘴强健;第1枚飞羽较长,超过大覆羽;雄鸟一年有两种羽色,非繁殖季节雄鸟羽色似雌鸟。雄性成鸟黑色的羽毛上点缀着鲜艳的红色、橙色或者黄色。有几种雄性织布鸟在繁殖季节过后会退去色彩鲜艳的羽毛,变得像雌鸟一样很不显眼。典型的织布鸟雄性羽毛呈黑色和黄色。雌性不那么显眼,呈淡黄色或褐色,有些像麻雀。

101. Long-tailed Widowbird, 长尾巧织雀, 長尾寡婦鳥, Euplectes progne, コクホウジャク

Large dark widowbird. Breeding males, with massive tails and red and white highlights on their broad black wings, are unmistakable. Non-breeding males lose their long tails and become streaky and brown but keep the distinctive wing pattern. Females are brown and streaky year-round. Breeds in moist grassland but sometimes found in cultivation and other open habitats. Usually in flocks, especially when not breeding. Males give a very slow display flight in which the huge tail hangs down. Song is a sizzling trill. Females could be confused with many other species but even during the non-breeding season usually associate with males, which show a distinctive wing pattern. [EBird]

 

update 202501

A fairly common bird in South Africa, often seen gracefully flying around with its stunning long tail, offering us an incredible view.

在南非,这是一种相当常见的鸟,常常可以看到它优雅地飞翔,拖着令人惊叹的长尾,为我们呈现出绝美的景象。

202501, South Africa

 

102. Southern Red Bishop, 红寡妇鸟, 紅寡婦鳥, Euplectes orix, オオキンランチョウ

A small, dumpy sparrow-like weaver. The breeding male is a mix of velvety vermilion and black; the narrow black forecrown is diagnostic. The female and non-breeding male are nondescript, with a short tail and strong buff eyebrow, and are difficult to tell apart from other bishops. Pairs and small flocks are always close to water when breeding, and mixed-species colonies occur in reedbeds and swampy grassland, but they disperse into adjacent scrub in the non-breeding season, often in flocks. The song is an extended fizzling sizzle. Breeding males of other red bishop species either have no black forehead, or have a much more extensive black crown. [Ebird]

一种小巧、圆胖的类似麻雀的织布鸟。繁殖期的雄性呈现出天鹅绒般的朱红色和黑色相间的羽毛;狭窄的黑色前额是其显著特征。雌性和非繁殖期的雄性则较为普通,具有短尾和明显的浅黄色眉纹,很难与其他主教鸟区分开来。繁殖期间,成对或小群织布鸟总是靠近水源,芦苇丛和沼泽草地中会出现混合物种的群体,但在非繁殖季节,它们会分散到附近的灌木丛中,通常成群结队。其鸣叫声是一种延长的嘶嘶声。其他红色主教鸟的繁殖期雄性要么没有黑色前额,要么黑色冠部范围更大。

update 202501

One of the most common birds we encountered during our South Africa trip, yet its vibrant bright red plumage made it impossible not to admire. It became the joke of the trip when someone yelled for the car to stop, shouting, “RED Kingfisher!” From then on, everyone jokingly referred to this bird as a Kingfisher for the rest of the journey.

这是我们南非之旅中最常见的鸟类之一,然而它那鲜艳的亮红色羽毛让人无法不为之赞叹。当有人大喊停车,惊呼“红色的翠鸟!”时,它成了我们旅途中的笑料。从那以后,大家在旅途中都开玩笑地把这种鸟称为“翠鸟”。

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

Charming tiny bird, brightly-colored but difficult to see as it forages quietly in dense undergrowth. Olive-yellow above and dark gray below, with a dark line through the eye and a bright yellowish crown. The very similar Gray-bellied Tesia has a paler belly, a distinct yellowish eyebrow, and a darker greenish crown. Slaty-bellied breeds in foothill and montane forest and winters at lower elevations. Frequents dark damp areas, often near streams or fern beds. Song is a series of high thin whistles followed by a jumble of warbled notes, longer and more complex than Gray-bellied Tesia’s similar song. Gives sharp chirping call notes, as well as loud rattles. [Ebird]

迷人的小鸟,色彩鲜艳但难以发现,因其常在茂密的灌丛中静静觅食。上体橄榄黄色,下体深灰色,眼睛有一条深色线纹,头顶呈明亮的黄色。与其极为相似的灰腹鹪鹛下腹颜色较浅,眉纹明显呈黄色,头顶则为较深的绿色。

灰腹鹪鹛栖息于丘陵和山地森林的繁殖地,冬季迁徙至较低海拔地区。常出现在阴暗潮湿的地方,尤其靠近溪流或蕨类植被。鸣声是一系列高音细哨音,随后是一段复杂的婉转音调,比灰腹鹪鹛的类似鸣声更长、更复杂。还发出尖锐的啾啾叫声,以及响亮的咯咯声。

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。

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。

update 202402

– another bird that we seldom missed since pandemic “covid” (previously seem more shy). This bird just pop up when we trying to locate the partridge. Cute, small and fast

– “side effect” of the CANON RF200800, this bird small, fast and always in lowlight .. end up ISO20000 needed

– 自从疫情后,我们几乎没错过这鸟。在哪都见到,可是疫情前可是每次就见它在地上跑来跑去的。

– 佳能的200800,就有这个弱点。当拍这种小,快,在暗的鸟。。ISO 就简简单单的用上20000
