update 202403
– another bird that not so easy to be photograph center of Penisular Malaysia. a male that come out stay long for us
– 在蛮多鸟点都是蛮容易拍照的，在西马中部反而就很不容易。这公鸟站了还蛮久
2. Greater Flameback, 大金背啄木鸟, 大金背啄木鳥, Chrysocolaptes guttacristatus, オオコガネゲラ, BELATUK-PINANG BESAR BIASA
update 202411
– One of the common woodpeckers found in Malaysia’s mangroves, this species stands out with its pale eyes, distinguishing it from the common Flameback.
– There have been so many photos of this woodpecker lately, and I love how the CANON R1 captured the action, especially the way the woodpecker swings its wings.
Sample of CANON R1 capture samples
– 在马来西亚红树林中常见的一种啄木鸟，这个物种以其淡色眼睛而著称，与小金背三趾啄木鸟有所不同。
– 最近有很多这只啄木鸟的照片，真喜欢CANON R1捕捉到的动态，尤其是它挥动翅膀的瞬间。
– One of the common woodpeckers found in Malaysia’s mangroves, this species stands out with its pale eyes, distinguishing it from the common Flameback.
– I’m thoroughly enjoying the new Continuous Pre-recording feature on the Canon R1. It virtually guarantees capturing the exact moment an action begins, without missing a beat. In this instance, I half-pressed the shutter before the bird moved, and once the action started, a full press ensured that the preceding 0.5 seconds were already recorded. The camera seamlessly continues with AF tracking. Check out the JPEG movie clips shared in the link for a closer look!

– 在马来西亚红树林中常见的一种啄木鸟，这个物种以其淡色眼睛而著称，与小金背三趾啄木鸟有所不同。
– 我非常喜欢佳能 R1 新推出的连续预录功能，它几乎可以确保捕捉到动作开始的瞬间，不会错过任何细节。在这个例子中，我在鸟开始动作前半按快门，一旦动作开始，全按快门，前0.5秒的画面已经记录在卡上，且相机会继续进行自动对焦跟踪。可以通过链接中的 JPEG 视频片段一览精彩画面！

– Thanks Canon Malaysia having chance to have R1 to work out … as mentioned Continous Pre-capture is one of my favourite new features of new CANON R camera .. this is one of the test moment .. hope get more oppunity in wild to present to you all soon
– 比金背三趾啄木鸟大。黑+黄。眼睛偏白。
– 谢谢马来西亚佳能，给予机会用R1用于马来西亚现实的环境鸟摄。真如我讲，我最喜欢的“不停的预拍”功能。我是专注拍一些照片关于这功能。希望有机会在拍一些在马来西亚雨林真实的拍摄环境。
#####
update 202405

– a waiting dusk for Nightjar and Owl, all of sudden this bird just flying across low. Even with the RF100-500 + 1.4x tc with such a small aperture (F10).. I still quickly got the bird focus and captured it flying into jungle
– a very common and beautiful hornbill of Malaysia
– 在傍晚时分，我们在等天暗猫头鹰+夜鹰。突然这鸟在低飞入森林里。虽然，佳能RF100-500 + 1.4x 光圈这么小，可是对焦+追焦还是很快的。
– 马来西亚蛮普通的鸟。也是非常漂亮的鸟。
4. Mangrove Whistler, 红树啸鹟, 紅樹嘯鶲, Pachycephala cinerea, マングローブモズヒタキ, MURAI-SIUL BAKAU
update 202502
Our visit to the mangrove was brief, but we were fortunate to see all the main targets, including this talented singer of Malaysia’s mangroves. It didn’t stay for long, and unfortunately, my settings were off—I ended up shooting at ISO 25,600. Yes, 25,600! But surprisingly, the result turned out fine for me.
我们在红树林的停留时间很短，但很幸运地看到了所有主要目标，包括这位来自马来西亚红树林的优秀歌手。它停留的时间不长，而我却设置错误，竟然用 ISO 25600 拍摄。是的，25600！但结果对我来说还算可以。
update 202405
– a not so attractive bird for Mangrove special, but always a highly wanted bird by birders come to Malaysia.
– this time, a very lucky group.. while we walking at Mangrove.. someone talk to me.. a dull bird stand infront of .. is it common ? very soon I look at the direction, I saw it stand just open and everyone got their best view of this active shy bird.
– 来马来西亚的鸟人，都会想到红树林看几种鸟。这一只是其一。虽然不是很美丽。
– 这一团是多么幸运，我么只是红树林走走。突然其中一位客人，问。。有只没颜色的鸟在这，应该很普通吧。我很快望望，就看到他。这么活跃与害羞的鸟久这么么容易让每一位看的这么好。
5. Black-winged Kite, 黑翅鸢, 黑翅鳶, Elanus caeruleus, カタグロトビ, HELANG-TIKUS BIASA
update 202405

– 另一个观鸟团好的开始。第一天见到几乎每种主要目标，普鸟也“出奇制胜”。这小猛禽捉了一只老鼠后，尽然飞过来我们面前吃起小老鼠。

– 在等更好的题材，这小小鸟静静地飞过来了。完全没声音。还好，动作吸引我见到这一刻。
#####
– a very tiny Woodpecker, overall brown and white. Which normally found near mangrove, nearby river bank.
– another moment with new CANON new R1 .. it is really fun and easy to capture any “birds in flight – begin, perch” just half press the shutter button enable the “Pre-capture” and when the moment after bird fly… press the shutter .. anything .5s before will be captured into the disk in full RAW without stop the Camera continous focus while the flying ..
– 小，棕+白小啄木鸟。通常在红树林，河边可以见到。
– 在我预佳能R1的好几天，这是我真的觉得。以后几乎“飞鸟“的照片应该是很普通了。有了新的预拍功能，只要在鸟起飞前半按下对焦键钮。当鸟飞起，半秒前以内的全RAW档都会记录下。最重要的是拍了后，相机还是一样的可以正常继续拍摄不用任何等待。

7. Dusky eagle-owl, 乌雕鸮, 烏雕鴞, Bubo coromandus, ウスグロワシミミズク, BURUNG-HANTU BERTANDUK KELABU ASIA
Update 202504
It was a dramatic day — we missed our target in the morning and were caught in heavy rain by noon. Fortunately, the evening brought reasonably good birding. The next morning, however, turned out to be truly special. We had a great encounter with this bird as it flew back to its roosting site, and we managed to capture the moment perfectly without any issues.
这真是戏剧性的一天——早上我们错过了目标，中午又遇上了大雨。幸运的是，傍晚的观鸟情况还算不错。然而，第二天早上却格外特别。我们与这只鸟有了一次美妙的邂逅，当它飞回栖息地时，我们顺利地捕捉到了这一精彩瞬间。
#####
It was another fantastic experience to see this bird again—even if just once—as it flew straight toward us. Not a particularly tough challenge for me with the R1: 98 frames in about 3 seconds, all perfectly in focus
再次见到这只鸟，哪怕只有一次，也是一次非常精彩的经历——它径直朝我们飞来。对我来说，这对 R1 来说并不算什么难题：大约 3 秒内拍了 98 张照片，全部对焦准确。

update 202410
– a not so common owl found Malaysia. Big size and with very vocal if found the correct one.
– I am making some nearby forest for trying the new CANON R1 to trying for AF lock on, AF tracking, Image Quality, Pre-capture … and trying again the in camera upscale. Found this bird roost at one of the Palm Oil plantation before strong sunlight come in, the bird sudden flying out to its’ roosting side.the R1 as expected captured most of the frame without any issue even with background change.
– 一直马来西亚不很容易见到的大鸮。通常叫的很厉害。
– 这个月，开始要测试佳能的新相机（R1）上个月已测试了工程机。（其实没太多问题除了开不到RAW档）。其实，不知道还需要测试什么。R3的对焦对我来讲已几乎没错过任何的雨林情况。可是，还是抱有蛮多希望增强一些我真的需要的。对焦，追焦，画质 应该大致都是很好。我对“预拍”（这个应该是佳能的卖点），只要控制缓冲好。这个预拍是一只都预拍，不像其他牌子。用了后，都要等上好几秒。在到达第一个点，找到这鸟在黑暗处站。等到光线好点时，拍下蛮多照片。可是这鸟突然飞出来，一直到远处（去睡觉了）。真如我的想法一样，这种情况。没错过任何一刻。
8. Laced Woodpecker, 花腹绿啄木鸟, 紋腹綠啄木, Picus vittatus, タケアオゲラ, BELATUK-HIJAU BAKAU
update 202411
– a quite common woodpecker found here (Penisular Malaysia), which normally found near Mangrove. area
– yet another R1 pre-capture moment captured .. it is real fun to have this Pre-capture function show how this bird “jump up” begin the flight. It is real cool to have Pre-cature every single moment and continue with normal operation like re-focus, tracking …
– 马来半岛很普通的啄木鸟，通常在红树林出没。
– 在继续测试佳能R1预拍中，真的这种任何手突然跳起，降落的一刻都完全容易的拿下。还要在相机拍的预拍后还继续的普通拍照。

– a casual visit nearby beach which I told my buddy, his target Black-capped Kingfisher can be found here … very good environment. But I didn’t see it last 3 visits but today.. when I arrive, spot a familiar bird far and inside palm tree. After a while of keep looking, found it making pre-roosting shower … bingo
– 一只与白领翡翠非常相似的翡翠。可是胸不，较白+亮棕色。背部深蓝+黑。。
– 在这个小小的一个红树林，我让我的鸟友知道。这应该可以找到他的目标鸟之一。今天，刚到时我被一个小蓝点吸引（蛮远大概50米）。在追逐了半个小时后，竟然见到他在冲凉。拍的还好。
11. Oriental Reed Warbler, 东方大苇莺, 東方大葦鶯, Acrocephalus orientalis, オオヨシキリ, CEKUP-PAYA BESAR BIASA
update 202411
– It’s great to see them return to the paddy fields, where they are as active as ever in the morning. I came to test out the Canon R1, and with its new Continuous Pre-recording and advanced AF tracking features, I was able to capture the moment they took off and flew toward us. Later, I combined the JPEGs into a single movie file.
– 很高兴看到它们回到了稻田，和往常一样，它们在清晨非常活跃。我这次是来试用佳能R1的，借助全新的连续预录功能和先进的自动对焦追踪功能，我成功捕捉到了它们飞起并朝我们飞来的瞬间。之后，我将JPEG文件合成为了一部视频文件。
12. Rufous Woodpecker, 栗啄木鸟, 栗啄木鳥, Micropternus brachyurus, クリチャゲラ, BELATUK BIJI NANGKA
update 202411
– One of the most common woodpeckers in Malaysia, this species can be found in a variety of environments—lowlands, mangroves, sub-montane forests, and even urban areas. Its overall rufous coloration makes it hard to miss.
– While testing the Canon R1’s “Continuous Pre-recording” feature, the bird was perched as usual. I half-pressed the shutter to activate Pre-recording, and only fully pressed it when the bird took off from the branch. Every frame of the action was captured in full RAW and saved to my card.
– 这是马来西亚最常见的啄木鸟之一，分布于低地、红树林、亚山地森林，甚至城市等各种环境。它整体呈赤褐色，非常显眼，不容易错过。
– 在测试佳能 R1 的“连续预录”功能时，这只鸟像往常一样站在树枝上。我半按快门开启预录功能，直到鸟从树枝起飞时才完全按下快门。整个动作的每一帧都被完整记录为 RAW 格式并存储在卡中。

14. Golden-bellied Gerygone,黄胸噪刺莺, 黃胸噪刺鶯,Gerygone sulphurea, マレーシアセンニョムシクイ, KELICAP-PEREPAT ASIA
Tiny and rather unobtrusive bird with brownish upperparts and luminous lemon-yellow underparts. Superficially similar to female and juvenile Olive-backed Sunbirds, but note gerygone’s short, uncurved bill. Forages in parks, forests, and plantations, where it often joins mixed flocks moving through the middle and upper layers. Song is variable throughout its range but invariably includes buzzy notes with obvious rises and falls in pitch. [Ebird]
体型小巧且不显眼的鸟，背部呈棕色，腹部为明亮的柠檬黄色。外形与雌性或幼年的黄腹花蜜鸟相似，但注意区分，其喙短而不弯曲。通常在公园、森林和种植园中觅食，经常加入混群，在中层和上层林冠中活动。鸣声因分布区域不同而变化，但都包含明显高低起伏的嗡嗡声。
update 202412
A tiny bird with a beautiful song, it’s often challenging to capture a good photo due to its small size. However, this time, it came down close enough for us to get a clear shot.
一只小巧的鸟儿，歌声非常动听，由于体型小，通常很难拍到清晰的照片。不过这次它靠近了我们，让我们拍到了好照片。
15. Pied Harrier, 鹊鹞, 花澤鵟, Circus melanoleucos, マダラチュウヒ, HELANG-SAWAH HITAM-PUTIH
update 20250101
My year-end birding tradition often takes me to the paddy fields in search of winter visitors. If I recall correctly, my buddy and I were waiting for some warblers when, out of nowhere, this raptor flew in, staring right at us! But no—it wasn’t us it was focused on. The Purple Heron caught its attention, flying between us and the harrier. I couldn’t help but wonder what the harrier was thinking as it kept its eyes on the heron for quite a distance.
年末观鸟的习惯通常会带我到稻田寻找冬季候鸟。如果没记错的话，当时我和朋友正在等待一些莺类，突然这只猛禽飞了进来，直盯着我们！但不，它的注意力并不在我们身上，而是被紫鹭吸引了。紫鹭飞过我们和鹞鹰之间，而鹞鹰一路都紧盯着紫鹭，不禁让我好奇它到底在想什么。
16. Collared Scops Owl, 领角鸮, 领角鸮, Otus lettia, JAMPUK BIASA
update 202502
It was truly an owl-filled day—we spotted six owl species in just one day! This last one had been particularly elusive; we had tried to get a good view of it a few days ago without much success. But today, it seemed to stay in place for a long time, giving everyone a perfect view.
今天真是猫头鹰的日——我们在一天内看到了六种猫头鹰！这最后一只尤其难得，几天前我们曾尝试寻找它的身影，但未能如愿。而今天，它似乎停留了很久，让大家都能欣赏到它的风采。
17. Eastern Barn Owl, 仓鸮, 東方倉鴞, Tyto alba, メンフクロウ, SERAK BIASA
update 202504
Met up with a customer-turned-friend who hasn’t really been birding for the past 2–3 years. He mentioned he needed a bit of a spark to get back into it and wanted to learn more about the post-shooting workflow too.
We started the day missing our main target — no luck with the Rail-babbler — but he was totally fine with that. After a heavy rain, things turned around quickly. In just over 90 minutes, we saw 7 owls! What a fantastic night.
This was one of his main targets — and not long after we arrived, we got a great view of it staying around for quite a while!
和一位从客户变成朋友的人见面，他已经有两三年几乎没怎么赏鸟了。他说自己需要一点“火花”来重新找回赏鸟的感觉，也想了解一下拍摄后的工作流程。
我们一天的开始并不顺利，错过了主要目标—鸫没出现。但他并不介意。大雨过后情况迅速好转，在短短90多分钟内我们看到了7只猫头鹰！真是一个精彩的夜晚。
这正是他此行的主要目标之一 —— 我们刚到不久，它就出现了，还停留了好一阵子让我们好好拍照！
18. Oriental Bay-Owl, 栗鸮, 栗鴞, Phodilus badius, ニセメンフクロウ, PUNGGUK-API BIASA
update 202504
“It’s been a wonderful week for owls—spotted 1 out of the 8 owls! It’s a shame it didn’t show well on the second visit, but still great to see it again here. ***Interestingly, it seems like the other owls don’t like this one—many came by to check it out while we were searching for it.
这是猫头鹰周 —— 我们在八只猫头鹰中看到了其中一只！虽然第二次拜访时它没有很好地现身有点可惜，但能再次在这里见到它还是很棒。***有趣的是，似乎其他猫头鹰并不喜欢这只猫头鹰 —— 当我们在找它的时候，好几只猫头鹰过来查看情况。
