It’s a common and not particularly beautiful bird, but each time it’s spotted, its size and leaf-like appearance still spark excitement.

这是一种常见且不算特别美丽的鸟,但每次看到它时,它的体型和如叶子般的外形仍然让人感到兴奋。

2. Garnet Pitta, 榴红八色鸫, 榴紅八色鶇, Erythropitta granatina, ムラサキヤイロチョウ, BURUNG-PACAT DELIMA BIASA

Update 202505

It was exciting to spot one moving on the ground without being disturbed by our presence—there were ten of us constantly shifting around for a better angle. We were lucky to encounter this Pitta without a long wait or much effort.

看到一只八色鸫在地面上活动而不受我们干扰,真的令人兴奋——我们十个人一直在四处移动,寻找更好的拍摄角度。能在没有长时间等待或费太多功夫的情况下遇到它,实在是太幸运了。

3. Black-bellied Malkoha, 绿嘴地鹃, 綠嘴地鵑, Phaenicophaeus diardi, クロバンケンモドキ, CENUK PERUT HITAM

Update 202505

We spent our morning at the canopy, enjoying many great views of different birds. One was especially memorable—at eye level, feeding slowly instead of just flying past. A lovely Malkoha.

我们早上在树顶吊桥观鸟,欣赏到了许多不同鸟类的美丽景色。其中一只尤其令人难忘——它在视线平齐的高度慢慢觅食,而不是像其他鸟一样飞掠而过。一只可爱的鹃鵙。

4. Malayan Banded-Pitta, 马来蓝尾八色鸫, 馬來藍尾八色鶇, Hydrornis irena,マラヤシマヤイロチョウ, BURUNG-PACAT BELANG MELAYU

update 202508

Always a pleasure catching up with one of the best birders/guides I know—Matthew and Hoi Ling! He made a short visit and requested a few lifers, so we left KL at 2:30am and headed to Merapoh. Despite the morning rain, we managed to tick off two lifers soon after arrival. Once the rain stopped, we got lucky again with this special lifer—it showed up twice (I missed the first photo opportunity)! Such a stunning Pitta, and a great moment getting both Garnet and this species away from the usual “stage”.

很开心再次见到我认识的顶级观HK鸟人兼导游——Matthew 和HL!他这次短暂来访,希望看到一些新种鸟。我们凌晨2:30从吉隆坡出发前往美罗坡,虽然一早下雨,但刚到就顺利记录到两种新鸟。雨停后又遇到这只特别的新种,它出现了两次(第一次我错过拍照),太幸运了!这只八色鸫真的很美,也很难得在自然环境中看到它,不是在“舞台”上展示。

5. Thick-billed Green-Pigeon, 厚嘴绿鸠, 厚嘴綠鳩, Treron curvirostra, ハシブトアオバト, PUNAI ARA BIASA

update 202508

This is one of the most common green pigeons in the region—medium-sized and easily recognized by its thick, pale green eye-ring.

With a fruiting tree nearby, spotting them wasn’t too hard. Although we hoped for more species, we’re glad our guests got to tick off two of their targets here!

这是这一地区最常见的绿鸽之一,中等体型,浅绿色粗眼圈非常显眼,不容易错过。

有一棵结果的树让我们很容易就看到这些鸟。虽然我们希望能看到更多种类,但能帮客人完成两个目标鸟,也已经很不错了!

6. Puff-backed Bulbul, 凤头褐鹎, 凤头褐鹎, Microtarsus eutilotus, チャイロヒヨドリ, MERBAH COKLAT BERJAMBUL

update 202510

This is one of those birds we often hear or briefly see, but rarely get a good photo opportunity with. However, last month we were lucky to enjoy two amazing encounters—one in Peninsular Malaysia and another in Borneo.

As we were walking out of the forest after getting our main target, we heard its call nearby. Moments later, it appeared almost at eye level, just around 5 meters from us. What a moment!

这是一种我们经常听到或偶尔见到的鸟,但却很少有机会拍到好照片。不过上个月我们非常幸运,在马来西亚半岛和婆罗洲都遇到了两次精彩的时刻。

当我们完成主要目标后正要走出森林时,突然听到它的叫声,不久它就出现在我们面前,几乎是眼平线的高度,距离我们不到5米。真是难得的时刻!

7. Crested Jayshrike, 冠鸦, 馬來冠鴉, Platylophus galericulatus, カンムリカケス, BURUNG-MENJERIT

update 202602

Had an incredible time birding with a patient group from Canada. After a quiet start at our first stop, we headed deeper into the National Park. Suddenly, I caught a familiar call—I couldn’t help but shout, ‘Jayshrike!’ We got so lucky when it flew out and perched right in front of us. What a spectacular view, absolutely brilliant!
今天与来自加拿大的耐心鸟友们共度了一段美好时光。在第一站略显沉闷的开局后,我们继续向国家公园深处进发。突然间,我听到了那个熟悉的鸣叫声,兴奋地大喊:‘冠鸦!’ 真是太幸运了,它直接飞到我们面前停歇。那画面太美了,简直是完美的瞬间。

8. Rhinoceros Hornbill, 马来犀鸟, 馬來犀鳥, サイチョウ, Buceros rhinoceros, ENGGANG BADAK

update 202602

After hitting guest 6,500th species milestone, we decided to keep the momentum going in search of more lifers—aiming to get as close as possible to the 7,000 mark. Upon arriving at the tree top tower, I was incredibly lucky to spot two

. They perched nearby before flying past at eye level. It was truly a lucky and unforgettable sight.

在达成客人第6500个目标鸟种后,我们决定继续前行,寻找更多的新鸟种(Lifers),争取向7000大关迈进。抵达树顶塔后,运气非常不错,竟然有两只

犀鸟就在附近栖息,随后还在与我们视线齐平的高度飞过。这真是一次幸运的邂逅。

9. Silver-rumped spinetail, 银腰针尾雨燕, 白腰刺尾雨燕, Rhaphidura leucopygialis, チビハリオアマツバメ, LAYANG-LAYANG EKOR-PENDEK MELAYU

update 202602

Upon arriving at the tower, we were greeted by a beautiful, fast-moving bird circling the structure without pause. I quickly made my way to the top of the observation deck to get an eye-level shot and capture its grace.
Modern camera technology truly makes capturing such fast subjects feel almost effortless.
抵达观景塔时,我们看到这鸟在塔周围盘旋穿梭,飞行速度极快且从未停歇。我迅速登上塔顶,只为寻找与之平齐的视角,捕捉下这美丽的瞬间。
不得不说,现代相机的技术让拍摄这种飞鸟变得轻而易举。

10. Malayan Peacock-Pheasant, 凤冠孔雀雉, 鳳冠孔雀雉, Polyplectron malacense, マレーエボシコクジャク,  KUANG-CERMIN MELAYU

update 202602

Last year, right after we spotted the Great Argus, everyone else was busy looking for other rare sightings. That’s when I noticed a smaller bird quietly approaching the feeding spot. It didn’t take long for this little visitor to start showing up regularly, eventually becoming the star attraction of Sg Relau National Park in Merapoh.

去年在我们发现大眼斑雉(Great Argus)之后,当大家都在寻找其他鸟类时,我注意到一只较小的鸟来到了投喂点。不久后,这只鸟开始频繁出现在同一个地方,并成为了惹劳河, 美拉坡国家公园最受瞩目的明星鸟类。

11. Banded Kingfisher, 横斑翠鸟, 橫斑翠鳥, Lacedo pulchella, カザリショウビン, KAING-KAING RIMBA

update 202602

We just arrived at the viewing tower and the bird calls are everywhere! We heard three of them right next to us at the canopy level. We were hoping for a glimpse, and soon enough, both the male and female flew right up to eye level. They stayed close enough for us to get some great pictures.

刚到观景塔,到处都是鸟鸣声!在树冠层,我们听到有三只就在身边。本想碰碰运气看能不能拍到,没过多久,雄鸟和雌鸟就一起飞到了和我们眼睛齐平的高度。它们离得很近,让我们拍到了不少好照片。

Even though this bird has a modest appearance, its song is absolutely beautiful. I’m so glad we could successfully find and check this target species off the list for our guest.

update 202603

Another milestone for the trip! We heard them calling and saw them fly off several times, but never got a clear look until last morning. This one was incredibly vocal and perched right in front of us.
这是本次行程的另一个目标。之前我们多次听到它的鸣叫,也看到它飞走,但直到在国家公园最后一个早上才真正清晰地观察到它。这只鸟叫得很响亮,就落在我们正前方。
