update 202309

– a revisit a same place after 10 years +, the bird still same spot but now handling and feed by local Photographer Subki & Ambo. Make chance to have picture of this beauty of Borneo much easier compare those day… It is quite challenge too, you need patient to sit and wait ….

– 旧地从游，10年前在同一个点。同一鸟种在这没这么容易拍到，现在有当地的“鸟导”帮忙喂食。所以要拍到这只婆罗洲的特有种，已不太难了。这么漂亮的还是值得去看看。

12. Blue-headed Pitta, 蓝头八色鸫,藍頭八色鶇, Hydrornis baudii, ズアオヤイロチョウ, Burung Pacat Kepala Biru

– a common lowland endemic

– male blue head, redback, blue and purple breast. female overall light brown

update 202409

– another bird always to look for when we are at Borneo. This month, we saw it few times at Danum Valley and  Tabin. Amazing colors on this particular bird.

– 每个人到婆罗洲都想看的一只鸟，不很普通也不稀有。在对的地方，对的时候就很容易。这一个月以来，在丹浓谷保护区+塔宾野生动物保护区见到很多次也拍到蛮多次。。。这一只就站我几尺的面前。

#####

update 202408

– it is always good reason to visit Danum Valley for this wonderful Pitta, this bird can be either very challenge or very easy to see especially the right time and place. (plan for right time, the bird can be like this one just give up show infront of 10 of us and stay for photo)

– 很多理由到丹浓谷，这一只这么漂亮的鸟就只其中之一。在对的时间+点。这鸟可以很容易。就像这一只，自己跳出来再站好好让我们拍照。完全没喂食+叫的。

 

#####

update 202407

– when the time come, right season make this so much easier ..compare to last few months. The bird just come and check and I am just ~10 feet from him. I think this is one of the Pitta I really enjoy to see its’ behavior than waiting for hours in spot … so much fun to see ~5 birds just 2 km in the trail .. 3 of them gave me good chance to have photographs

– 时间到了，上一团我们几乎很难听到他叫。这一次，几乎哪都听到。很容易就看到，在我走林道（大概2公里）就遇上5只，3只乖乖站让我拍照。

 

#####

update 202402

– it is not a new site for this feeding station, 12-13 years ago I got my Blue-headed Pitta similar site and it is not feeding .. the bird just there and it was very fun trip with few good buddies .. Andy Pau, Jasnnie, Ah Lee, Shunfa .. this time we went for feed !!! but the bird came while we arrive and came infornt of me ~4-5feet away without food or hide !!! But after wait for 3 hours .. it came with a chick few times but not the male .. it is a tough time spent with almost 8 hours for Blue-Banded and 3 hours for no male … but this female really beautiful and I think I never got any good picture of female of this bird

– 这个点我在12-13年前就来过与好几位好朋友来拍一样的鸟。当时是没喂食的，就在哪等。鸟自己来跳来跳去。那是的感觉与现在的“等”鸟真的很不一样。可是话说这鸟是喂食的，可是在我们到达时这鸟自己跳来5-6尺前。。。我们没帐篷，虫。虽然很容易拿下，可是还是没等到公鸟。对着斗湖的八色鸫有点恐惧感。。。蓝斑等了～8小时没等到，这鸟也等了3小时没公鸟。可是对我自己来说还是不错，我应该没拍过漂亮的母鸟。

#####

update 202309

– it is so tame, 9 people standing 10feet from it.. it still coming back same area just slow and display a bit for picture … so amazing to see this behaviors again

– 这只是多么的乖，我们9个人在大概0-12尺距离。这鸟2天都一样的慢慢地跳。已第次见这样的鸟。真的不可思议。

update 202308

update 202305

– previous both Whitehead’s Trio, we ticked it pretty simple. This one bit tricky where we saw it fly and perch (1-2 persons saw it but no good view). And one evening, I decided to make a bet to wait this bird at either location we normally found it. It is lucky picked, saw the bird stay for more than 20 minutes for good view, pictures and videos

– 3只神山“白头”宝，咬鹃与捕蛛鸟都很容易拿下。就这一只，见了好几次都是飞来飞去。在最后一个下午，我决定来赌一把选2个我们下午较容易见到他的点选一。非常幸运，我们赌对了。在530左右，它叫了一会就飞了出来让我们看，拍的很好。

Bakelalan Owl House is a family-run homestay. It’s neither a hotel nor a resort, guests actually stay with owners Andy and his Lun Bawang wife, Maureen in their quaint little home set in a picturesque setting.

Bakelalan is home to the indigenous Lun Bawang people, an ethnic group in Borneo. It’s the perfect place to get away from it all and just get back to basics in a friendly, peaceful, and serene kampung environment. It’s also ideal for nature lovers who enjoy trekking, mountain climbing, birdwatching, photography (landscape, nightscape, wildlife, people)….or just plain chilling out.

To keep Bakelalan Owl House simple and cozy, it currently can accommodate only a maximum of 8 guests at any one time.
