– 非常幸运见到咬鹃后,这鸟也站我们不远。可是在这我是要吐槽一下,另一组国外摄鸟人(有鸟导领的)。当我们见到这鸟时,我们很快到了最好角度…可是没久另一组摄鸟人跑来我们前面就站我们前面。我很礼貌跟他们讲,可是他们就当我没讲话一样。所以我们看到这鸟时,我也没通知他们。大家在一个点就礼让一点吧。

We were just out for a casual walk when we heard a strange alert sound coming from the birds. It turned out to be some birds trying mobbing to this tiny owl! It perched quite low and stayed remarkably close while we were heading to lunch. Even though we weren’t specifically looking for owls today, who could possibly resist such a cute little thing?
我们正在闲逛时,突然听到鸟类发出一种奇怪的警报声。原来是在追赶这只小猫头鹰!就在我们准备去吃午饭前,它落在离我们很近的低处,完全不怕人。虽然今天并没打算去看鸟,但面对这么软萌可爱的小家伙,谁能不心动呢?

update 202510

We spent around 30 minutes listening to the Red-throated Barbet calling, but couldn’t get a clear view. Luckily, a few other species came in close, including this tiny and adorable owl!

Sometimes, there’s too much info on social media—but here’s my experience: I used the Canon R5 Mark II with full-area AF and animal eye detection. The owl was about 30 meters away, and paired with the RF 100-500mm, it locked onto the eye perfectly without hesitation. Highly recommend trying it out yourself!

我们等了大约30分钟,一直听到丽色拟鴷在叫,但始终没有清晰的视野。不过,其他一些鸟儿飞了过来,包括这只可爱又迷你的小猫头鹰!

有时候,社交媒体上的信息太多了,反而容易迷茫。但这里是我实际的经验:我使用的是 Canon R5 Mark II,相机设置为全区域自动对焦+动物眼睛识别。这只猫头鹰大约在30米远的地方,用 RF100-500mm 拍摄,相机毫无犹豫就锁定了眼睛对焦。推荐大家亲自试试!

25. Sunda Brush Cuckoo, 锈胸丛杜鹃, 銹胸叢杜鵑, Cacomantis sepulcralis, チャムネヒメカッコウ, MATINAK DADA JINGGA BIASA

update 202503

Another change since the last update: the Brush Cuckoo is now classified as the Sunda Brush Cuckoo. It is easily recognizable by its gray head and “rusty” breast, though it can sometimes be confused with the Plaintive Cuckoo.

自上次更新以来,又发生了一次变化:锈胸丛杜鹃现已归类为巽他星斑杜鹃(中文还没更改)。它以灰色头部和“锈色”胸部而易于辨认,但有时可能与八声杜鹃混淆。

update 202405

– a bird that always heard and sometime just fly too close and hide from us to be seen or photograph.. Brush or Rusty breasted  ? now it call Brush in eBird

– something happen in the group and make the whole schedule late but still trying to do some late evening birding at GAP, Fraser Hill. Not bad for short time have Green Broadbill, Brush Cuckoo, Rufous Bellied Swallow, Black Laughingthrush etc …

– 一只会飞来很近又喜欢藏起来的鸟,有时就很难看到到或拍到。

– 团员发生某些事,我们第二天行程几乎都迟了。倒带福隆港山脚已蛮晚了。可是还是希望让大家不要这么郁闷。还好,很快拿下这鸟,绿阔嘴鸟, 棕腹燕,黑噪鹛等。

This marks my final Malaysia tour for 2025, and once again, it came with its own unique challenges—just like 3 out of my last 4 tours.

This time, the guest had limited mobility, making it difficult to walk or even adjust position to look for our main targets. Despite that, luck was on our side. While simply sitting in a chair, this beautiful bird came in close and gave us a wonderful photo opportunity!

这是我2025年最后一个马来西亚行程了,又是一个充满挑战的旅程——最近4个行程中有3个都遇到不同的挑战。

这次的客人行动不便,几乎无法走动,甚至连转身调整拍摄角度都很困难,靠走路寻找目标鸟也几乎不可能。幸运的是,运气站在我们这边——就在他坐在椅子上时,这只美丽的鸟儿竟然靠近我们,给了我们一次精彩的拍摄机会!

– with the new canon Pre-continuous Shooting function, simple when see the bird stay still, half-press shutter .. and when see the wing open or move press the shutter .. than anything happen in before .5s will be record as raw into camera .. make this kind of picture simple

– 马来西亚最喜爱的鸟之一。快,可爱,活跃。他随时动的时候都会吧翅膀张开。要拍这个真的不容易。

– 可是佳能的新R5markii 预拍功能把这种情况容易的拍下。只要看到鸟站好,半按下快门键。等它动的时候,再按下快门。任何发生半秒前的都会拍下。就这么容易。

update 202411

– This is not a rare bird, but it is certainly one of the more challenging birds to spot in Malaysia.

– As the tour was coming to an end and we prepared to head back to town, we made a few stops for this bird. Shortly after, we were rewarded with an excellent view of a female.

– 这并不是一种稀有的鸟类,但在马来西亚确实是一种难以目睹的鸟。

在行程接近尾声、我们准备返回城镇时,我们为寻找这只鸟停留了好几次。不久之后,我们便幸运地看到到了一只雌鸟的精彩身影。

202411, Fraser Hill, Selangor, Malaysia

36. Lesser Shortwing, 白喉短翅鸫, 白喉短翅鶇, Brachypteryx leucophris, ヒメコバネヒタキ, Burung Murai Kakap

update 202411

– This small bird, commonly heard at Fraser’s Hill, Cameron Highlands, Sumatra’s Kerinci, and Genting Highlands, is often challenging to spot or photograph despite its frequent calls. However, at specific feeding spots, it tends to become tame and reliably appears when humans approach, displaying behavior similar to the Pygmy Cupwing. Notably, it often moves with its wings raised, making its behavior quite distinctive.

– With the new Canon R1’s Continuous Pre-recording feature, every time the bird perches, I half-press the shutter to keep it in focus. As soon as the bird moves or raises its wings, I fully press the shutter, capturing everything that occurred 0.5 seconds prior. This ensures I never miss the perfect moment.

– 这种小鸟常见于福隆港、高原金马仑、苏门答腊克林芝和云顶高原,叫声非常常听见,但却不容易看到或拍到。尽管如此,在某些喂食点,这种鸟会变得非常驯服,只要有人接近就会出现。它的行为与小鸫莺相似,尤其是移动时常常保持翅膀上扬,非常有特色。

– 借助全新的佳能R1连续预录功能,每当小鸟停留时,我会半按快门以保持对焦。只要小鸟开始移动或抬起翅膀,我便全按快门,将前0.5秒发生的所有画面记录到存储卡中,确保不错过任何精彩瞬间。

update 202507

On day one, this bird was right on the railing—such an exciting moment (at least for me, and I hope for my guests too). It might not be the most eye-catching bird for everyone, but I still tried hard to get a good shot since it was such a great opportunity. Even though I’ve had two close, daytime encounters with it this year and got decent photos, I’m still thrilled every time I see this Peninsular Malaysia endemic.

第一天,这只鸟就站在栏杆上——让我非常兴奋(希望我的客人也一样)。虽然它对很多人来说可能不是最吸引的鸟,但我还是很努力地想拍一张好照片,因为这是个很难得的机会。即使今年已经两次近距离白天遇到它并拍到不错的照片,但每次看到这只马来半岛特有种,我依然很激动。

What a surprise to encounter this bird twice during our stay at Fraser’s Hill! Despite the short trip and bad weather, we saw it once in extremely low light and again at midday, offering a much better view.

真是个惊喜!在我们短暂停福隆港期间,尽管天气不佳,我们竟然两次遇见这只鸟——一次是在极暗的环境下,另一次则是在正午时分,视野清晰得多。

It was so exciting to hear this just as we were leaving Fraser’s Hill. In our group, three of us are seriously working on seeing bird families around the world, and although we had three sightings during the tour, this one gave us the best view—perhaps even better than the one at Sungai Relau. Plus, I managed to get a photo of this one. Such a lovely bird!

我们正要离开福隆港时听到这个消息,真是太令人兴奋了!我们小组中有三位成员正认真致力于观赏世界各地的鸟类家族。虽然这次行程中我们有过三次目击记录,但这一次的观赏视角是最好的——甚至可能比Sg Relau的那次还要棒。而且,这次我还拍到了照片。真是一只可爱的鸟!

update 202602

Day 2 of our tour was a major success, with most of our target goals achieved. A highlight was when a typically shy and hyperactive woodpecker approached us almost immediately, right as we spotted our Malayan Laughingthrush. It stayed low and close by for quite a while. Fast forward to Day 3, and the luck continues—another bird just perched right in front of us at eye level, only about 5 meters away.
观鸟之旅的第二天非常圆满,大部分预定目标都已达成。最难忘的是,正当我们观测到马来噪鹛时,一只平时既害羞又活跃的啄木鸟几乎立刻就飞到了我们身边。它在低处的近距离位置停留了很久。今天已经是第三天了,好运仍在继续,刚才又有一只鸟飞到我们面前约5米处,与我们视线齐平地栖息着。

A lucky encounter—without much effort, this beautiful bird appeared just about 10 meters in front of us and stayed long enough for a few good shots.

I truly miss the conversations with my best buddy… and now I understand how food and water can lose their taste and feel bitter.

这是一个幸运的时刻,几乎没有花什么力气,这只美丽的鸟就站在我们前方约10米处,而且停留了足够久的时间,让我们拍了几张不错的照片。

我真的很想念我最好的朋友和我之间的对话……现在我也能体会到,为什么食物和水会变得无味甚至苦涩。

What a lucky day! We started with a Sunda Cuckoo, then enjoyed a close-up view of the stunning Red-headed Trogon, and were soon treated to this surprisingly “tame” and active woodpecker. Everyone had fantastic views and managed great shots!

update 202506

Like in my other sharings, I always enjoy showing what birding looks like today. There’s no absolute right or wrong way—whether it’s through feeding or simply walking, listening, and observing, the joy of birding is what matters. In this final sharing session, we came across this active and noisy bird—quite uncommon, especially to photograph!

就像我其他的分享一样,我一直很喜欢向大家展示我们现在的观/摄鸟方式。没有绝对的对或错——不论是用喂食方式引鸟,还是单纯地靠走路、聆听和观察,观鸟的乐趣才是最重要的。在这最后一场分享中,我们遇到了一只活跃又吵的鸟——非常少见,尤其是能拍到照片更是不容易!

Another blue flycatcher added to the list. While we frequently hear its distinctive call, actually spotting it is a rare treat. After patiently tracking its voice for a while, we were finally rewarded with this clear, beautiful view.

又记录到一种仙鹟。虽然经常能听到它的鸣叫声,但平时其实并不容易见到。循着声音耐心寻找了好一阵子,终于让我们捕捉到了如此清晰的绝佳视野。

It is cuckoo month. Our birding tours from April to May have encountered an incredible number of cuckoos. Even the notoriously shy cuckoos are showing themselves out in the open at both Fraser’s Hill and Taman Negara National Park (KNP). It is an absolute delight to watch them in plain view and listen to their clear calls.

现在是杜鹃科鸟类的繁育活跃月。我们在四月至五月期间的观鸟观光团中邂逅了非常多数量的杜鹃。就连那些平时极度害羞的杜鹃,这次在福隆港(Fraser’s Hill)和神山(KNP)都大方地现身于开阔地带。能亲眼目睹它们毫无遮挡地站在高处并大声鸣叫,真是一种极好的观鸟享受。

We don’t get to see this bird on every trip, but it has been incredibly vocal and active since March this year. We have heard and spotted it numerous times in the forest. On this occasion, it even approached us at eye level, staying just 1.5 meters away for about five minutes, providing us with a spectacular view.

这不是次次带团都能见到的鸟类,但自今年三月以来,它们显得格外活跃且鸣声嘹亮。我们在森林中多次听到并目击到它们。这次,这只鸟直接飞到距离我们约1.5米处且与双眼平齐的高度,并在不远处停留了约5分钟,让我们得以近距离尽情观赏。

101. Sulawesi Myna, 苏拉王椋鸟, 蘇拉威西王椋鳥, Basilornis celebensis, セレベスオオサマムクドリ

A glossy-black starling with a rounded crest and prominent pale markings on cheeks and breast sides. Juvenile dark brown with a pale underside. Inhabits canopy of forest, forest edge, and nearby degraded areas within lowlands and foothills, typically in pairs or small groups. Distinguished from Short-tailed and Asian Glossy Starlings by large-headed appearance (due to crest) and conspicuous pale patches in plumage. Calls include a clear, metallic, piercing “tzew” and “tzip” as well as “zowee” notes; also gives quiet buzzy warbles. [EBird]

 

– 几乎全黑.脸颊和胸前有白。蛮可爱的鸟。可是通常都站高高的。

An unmistakable long-tailed, black-and-white myna. Black except for broad white breast band and collar. South Sulawesi form has a pale-tipped bill; in north, bill is entirely dark. Juveniles less glossy and shorter-tailed than adults. Found in pairs or small groups in canopy of forest and forest edge in lowlands and foothills. Often perches out on prominent dead branches. Restricted to Sulawesi, satellite islands, and Togian Islands. Gives a variety of odd calls, including high-pitched piercing “keer,” soft low-pitched “kyop,” and other whistles and metallic notes. (ebird)

103. 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。

This is truly one of the most beautiful mynas! We had seen this species a few times before, but usually perched high up near the canopy, offering only distant views.

This time, we were fortunate — a few individuals came down to feed, giving us a clear and close view, along with great photo opportunities.

这是最美丽的八哥之一!我们之前几次都看到过这种鸟,但总是停在高高的树冠上,只能远远望见。

这次非常幸运,有几只飞下来觅食,距离很近,让我们有清晰的观察和拍照机会,实在太棒了!

501. Violet-backed Starling, 白腹紫椋鸟, 白腹紫椋鳥, Cinnyricinclus leucogaster, シロハラムクドリ

A small starling with dramatically different-looking sexes, although both sexes sport a distinctive dark bill and a lemon-yellow eye. The male is iridescent, ranging from plum-violet to purple-blue depending on the light, except for the white belly and vent. The female and juvenile have brown-streaked white bellies and darker brown-streaked upperparts. Pairs and small flocks occupy open woodland, riverine forest, and wooded parkland, where they feed on fruit and berries, being an important dispersal agent of mistletoes, although they also opportunistically take insects, particularly winged termites and ants. Some populations are resident, but most are migratory or nomadic. [Ebird]

一种体型较小的椋鸟,雌雄外观差异显著,但都具有独特的深色嘴和柠檬黄色的眼睛。雄鸟具有金属光泽,羽色随光线变化,从梅子紫到紫蓝色不等,唯独腹部和腹下为白色。雌鸟和幼鸟的腹部为白色并带有棕色条纹,上体则为较深的棕色条纹。它们成对或成小群活动于开阔的林地、河畔森林和公园绿地,以水果和浆果为食,是槲寄生等植物的重要传播者,但也会 捕食昆虫,尤其是有翅白蚁和蚂蚁。一些种群为定居性,但大多数具有迁徙或游荡的习性。

Before planning this Africa trip, I was really curious about how a starling could have such a vivid violet color (even though we also have the Violet Cuckoo with a similar hue). I really wanted to photograph this bird in good lighting, despite everyone saying it’s common. But in 17 days, we only had two great opportunities. Now, I’m happy with what I got—until the next visit!

在计划这次非洲之行之前,我一直很好奇一只椋鸟怎么会有如此鲜艳的紫罗兰色(尽管我们这边的紫斑杜鹃也有类似的色调)。我真的很想在好光线下拍摄这只鸟,尽管大家都说它很常见。但在 17 天里,我们只得到了两次很好的机会。现在我对收获感到满意,直到下次再来!

502. Greater Blue-eared Starling, 蓝耳丽椋鸟, 大藍耳輝椋鳥, Lamprotornis chalybaeus, セイキムクドリ

A medium-sized iridescent blue-green glossy starling with a dark ear-patch and contrasting royal blue to violet flanks and belly. Pairs and small groups occupy savanna, where they feed on the ground and in trees on fruit and insects; occasionally up to 300 may gather at fruiting trees. Often the species scavenges from people. It gives a cat-like nasal “squuee-aar” contact call that is distinctive. The similar Lesser Blue-eared Starling differs from Greater Blue-eared Starling by being smaller with a more compact head and finer bill, by having a smaller ear-patch, and by preferring broadleaf woodland. The Cape Starling differs from the “blue-eared” starlings by having greener ear-patches, belly, and flanks. [Ebird]

一种中等大小、具有蓝绿色金属光泽的椋鸟,耳部有深色斑块,身体两侧及腹部呈对比鲜明的皇家蓝至紫色。通常成对或小群活动于稀树草原,在地面或树上觅食水果和昆虫;有时多达 300 只会聚集在结果的树上。该物种经常在人类附近觅食。其叫声为类似猫叫的鼻音“squuee-aar”,十分独特。

与大蓝耳椋鸟相似的小蓝耳椋鸟体型较小,头部更紧凑,嘴喙更细,耳部斑块也较小,并且更偏好阔叶林。而与“蓝耳”椋鸟不同,好望角椋鸟的耳部斑块、腹部和身体两侧呈现更明显的绿色。

One of the colorful starlings of South Africa, this bird displays bright metallic colors whether standing or flying. It’s a stunningly beautiful and common species.

南非色彩斑斓的椋鸟之一,这种鸟无论站立还是飞行,都展现出明亮的金属光泽。它是一种美丽而常见的鸟类。

update 202601

This was the very first bird we sighted the moment we stepped off the plane. They were everywhere around the airport area. An incredibly beautiful bird, very common and surprisingly tame in Kenya. But honestly, who cares how common it is? Beauty is beauty.

这是我们一下飞机就看到的第一种鸟,在机场周围随处可见。它在肯尼亚算是非常常见、也相当亲人的鸟类,但那又如何?如此美丽的鸟,怎么看都不会腻。

– getting less due to Javan Myna number increase

update 202402

– a quick out for continue the CANON R5 with CANON RF200800mm, can see the advantage of high megapixel when the lighting is good. But most of my situation is extreme low light … so it is very subjective …

– this picture is ~75% crop, can see the details

– 佳能 R5, RF200800 是非常有争议,我们可以讲它们是非常好的拍鸟神器也可以讲是不适合。R5 高像素,在马来西亚雨林。用起来非常吃力,感应ISO 通常都非常高 8000以上。RF200800 光圈很小,造成2个好的器材。可能在我们不够光的热带雨林造成争议。 可是,在价格方面绝对是非常好的拍鸟神器。

– 看看这鸟的细节。。这照片大概75%crop .. 细节还是很恐怖。

update 202608

What an incredible bird photography trip! Over 10 days, we successfully encountered five species of Pitta. Despite navigating flight schedule shifts, windy conditions, and ferry timetables, we managed to help most of our guests photograph their primary target species—including this remarkable Sulawesi endemic.

This particular individual was easily one of the most tame Pittas we have ever observed, remaining just half a meter away from the hide owner.

精彩至极的观鸟摄影之旅!在为期10天的行程中,我们成功记录到了5种八色鸫。尽管面临航班变动、强风天气以及轮渡班次等多重挑战,我们依然协助大多数团员拍摄到了他们的目标鸟种,其中包括这只苏拉威西特有种。

这也是我们见过的最不惧人的八色鸫之一,几乎就呆在鸟棚主人身边,距离仅有半米。

Incredible to see that this bird still remembers me since my last visit in June—it’s just as tame and approachable as before. It perched around 6 meters above ground and stayed for 10–15 minutes, giving us a lovely session.

A truly charming Sulawesi endemic!

 

太惊喜了,这只鸟竟然还记得我!自从去年六月上次来这里,它依然一样亲近又淡定。这次它停在大约6米高的地方,停留了10到15分钟,让我们有很棒的观察和拍摄机会。

可爱的苏拉威西特有种!

– 苏拉威西北部鸟行,几乎不可能错过的鸟。晚上,早上都很容易。我的好朋友+客人 特别喜欢鸮+啄木鸟。在我们见我们的当地导游前,我们就找到了。他(当地导游尽然到森林里找我们)还帮我们拿手电筒。

11. Great Eared-Nightjar, 毛腿夜鹰, 毛腿夜鷹, Lyncornis macrotis, オオミミヨタカ, Taktarau Besar

– one of the special look nightjar

– 蠻大與特別夜鷹

update 202608

Another dusk spent chasing a target owl we missed before. Just as light was fading, it flew past twice, giving me the perfect chance to test what this Canon can really do. Shooting in near-total darkness is no easy task, but the autofocus locked on seamlessly—not just for one lucky frame, but across multiple crisp shots in flight.

又是一个傍晚,再次出发去追踪之前错过的鸮类。就在光线几乎完全暗下来的情况下,它两次拂空飞过。这次拍摄彻底让人领略到了佳能强劲的低光性能与对焦实力——即使在近乎黑暗的环境中,不仅没有脱焦,反而成功捕捉到了多张焦点精准、清晰锐利的飞翔画面。

Distinguished from smaller Minahassa Masked-Owl by gray face, gray forecrown, more extensive dark markings across wings and upperparts, and preference for open country.[Ebird]

与仓鸮非常像,叫声也像。在苏拉威西北部不很普通。这次在最后一晚见到斑鹰鸮后。竟然听到这鸟叫。在天空上飞。

update 202511

While we were trying to get better shots of the boobook, this owl started calling right at dusk. It remained a bit shy and didn’t perch too close, but I did my best with the Canon R5 Mark II + RF 400mm + 1.4x extender to capture a decent shot.

当我们正努力拍摄鹰鸮时,这只猫头鹰在黄昏时分开始鸣叫。虽然它有些害羞,没有停在太近的位置,但我依然尽力用 Canon R5 Mark II + RF 400mm + 1.4x 增距镜拍下了它的身影。

35. Black Sunbird, 黑花蜜鸟, 黑花蜜鳥, Leptocoma aspasia, クロタイヨウチョウ, Burung-madu hitam

A small songbird with a long downcurved bill. Male is blackish with iridescent areas: crown glossed greenish or blue, and shoulders, rump, and tail glossed with blue. Throat iridescent reddish-purple in most of range, but blueish in the north Moluccas and Kai islands. Female is nondescript, with a grayish head, white throat, olive upperparts, and yellowish underparts over much of range. In the south Moluccas and Aru islands, underparts are grayish. Juvenile resembles female, but yellower on throat. Inhabits forest edge, open forest, gardens, and scrub in lowlands and hills. Male can be separated from dark-bellied forms of male Olive-backed Sunbird by glossy, iridescent crown and black back. Females differ from Olive-backed Sunbird by absence of eyebrow, absence of white tail tip, white throat, grayish head, and duller yellow underparts. Females lack eye-ring, unlike larger female Brown-throated Sunbird, and are less uniform underneath than female Elegant Sunbird. [EBird]

We missed it at the usual location where it only perched far away. But today, while we were escaping the afternoon heat in a shaded area, this beauty flew in and stayed for a long time right in front of us.

对我来说,这绝对是最美的鸟之一,而且它绝对不只是“黑色”。

Males show a small red crown patch. Juveniles lack rackets. Found in pairs and groups in canopy of forests and edges in lowlands and foothills. Prominent yellow breast and large size of this species distinguish it from Golden-mantled Racquet-tail. If rackets are not seen, note the silvery-gray bill, unlike Blue-naped Parrot. Noisy, giving varied vocalizations. Song is a high-pitched “kut-ut-ut-kler-kler.” Also gives screeches, squeaking, piping, and ear-splitting “kraa” notes. [Ebird]

Never before has this bird stayed out in the open for us this long—easily 10 to 20 minutes! After such an extended view, everyone got ready for a flight shot… and yes, it finally took off with a perfect pose.

a Sulawesi endemic

A tiny, short-tailed songbird. Unmistakable male is dark with a red cap, breast spot, and rump. Underparts white, with a dark vertical line on the belly and white tufts on sides of breast. Female is gray, with red confined to rump; this color patterning is diagnostic. Juvenile resembles female, but lacks the red rump. Singles or pairs inhabit the upper reaches of hill and montane forest and forest edges. Restricted to Sulawesi. Gives thin, high-pitched “tzeet” and “kwit” call notes. Song starts with “tzeet-tzeet” phrases, then descends into a rapid warble.

相比之前的所有造访,这两周内连续两次在Tangkoko拍到这只鸟变得格外容易!当然还是花了一些功夫才拍到干净的画面,但一切都很值得。

A commonly heard but very shy bird, with a call resembling that of the Malaysian Asian Koel—though its “woo” is slightly shorter.

这是一种常听见却非常害羞的鸟,它的叫声与马来西亚的亚洲噪鹃相似,但“喔”的声音稍微短一些。

update 202505

It was a dull and cloudy day when we first heard the call a few times and caught a glimpse of the bird flying, but no one managed a photo. Fortunately, the bird began circling near us, and while everyone searched for a perch shot, I took the opportunity to capture it in flight.

在一个无聊又多云的日子,我们第一次听到这种叫声,并几次看到它飞过,但没有人成功拍到照片。幸运的是,这只鸟后来在我们附近盘旋,当大家都在寻找它停栖时的画面时,我抓住机会拍下了它飞行中的瞬间。

Our main target at Lore Lindu turned out to be not as tough as we expected. We managed to see it twice, and both sightings were not high up in the canopy. Unfortunately, the lighting wasn’t ideal, making the photos appear a bit dull—but still a great bird to observe!

What an amazing start to our time at Tangkoko—almost all our targets were seen and photographed in just one morning!

A lucky moment once again, made even better thanks to the superb tracking performance of the Canon R5 Mark II.

update 202608

The Minahasa Hooded Pitta (Pitta forsteni) is an elusive species, and we had dipped on it multiple times in the past since it only tends to show during very specific windows in Tangkoko.

This time around, our timing was spot on. Though it gave us the slip on our first evening, the following morning rewarded us with an unforgettable encounter with this rare Sulawesi specialty. To top it all off, it even came hopping right over and stood barely a meter in front of us!

米纳哈萨绿胸八色鸫(Minahasa Hooded Pitta,学名:Pitta forsteni)是一鸟难求的特有种。过去曾数次与它擦肩而过,因为它们只在汤科科(Tangkoko)地区的特定时间段内才会活跃现身。

这次我们终于把握住了最佳时机。虽然在第一个傍晚遗憾错过,但隔天清晨,我们终于与这只珍稀的苏拉威西特有鸟类迎来了绝佳的相聚时光。它甚至直接走到距离我们仅约1米的前方停下,令人难以置信!

One of the most common primates in Tangkoko—often seen moving in groups. They may look intimidating, but they’re generally not aggressive. Still, it’s best to keep a respectful distance just to be safe!

这是糖果果最常见的灵长类动物之一,通常成群活动。它们看起来可能有些吓人,但其实总体上并不具有攻击性。不过,为了安全起见,还是保持适当的距离比较好!
