– very lucky moment while everyone just got the eye level of Trogon, this bird just not far from the Trogon. But I am not happy with some foreign photographers with us… we found the Trogon and stand at best position for the view but another group of Photographers lead by other Guide just stand infront of us when they saw us looking at the bushes … and I actually told them they blocking us .. but they just ignore us !!!!! please be polite and considerate ..

– 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。

update 20231225

– it is going to end the Sumatra Birding tour here, it is enjoyable we only hit into rain end of the tour which is amazing. My 2023 end with the memorize trip here. But overall is wet, muddy and few places of landslides. As we just concentrate on west-center, we mostly at Sub-montane or Montane birding. I am mostly using CANON RF200800 and CANON R3 for rainforest environment. It is challenging with such long focal length with small aperture (will share more experience later regard the lens)

– this bird seem quite common any where here, we seen and heard almost any where even night roosting at montane area. Such a beautiful bird and hope to see the Java version soon (which I missed 16 years ago)

– 苏门答腊观鸟团就这样结束了。我的2023 也写上一个美好的结局。虽然,时雨季可是我们除了最后一天最后一刻才下了一点雨。虽然,几乎每个地方都湿湿的。这次我们在西-中部,全程在800-2100米。我也几乎都用上佳能 RF200800 为了测试在雨林的好与坏(迟点再分享这只长焦段+小光圈)

– 这次算看这鸟最多的吧,几乎哪都看到他。连夜观也看到。这鸟真的很漂亮也希望有机会到爪哇,看看那只爪哇的。(16年前错过后)

– another Christmas spend with my best guest, buddy .. this time choose have special target tour to Sumatra. After whole day travel, we arrived first birding accommodation from 4am – 4pm .. 1+ hour flight and ~7hours drive ..next day morning, we decided to change ours original plan for Ground Cuckoo, but I didn’t see one and only heard twice for almost whole day in a very lovely forest.

– this bird flying in-front of us while we waiting ours target and having ours hot tea session. What a beauty, still remember ~18 years ago I missed my Java trogon … and today see this very look a-like endemic of Sumatra ..

– 另一个圣诞节与我的好朋友+客人在森林里度过。这次我们选了苏门答腊。经过12小时。。车+飞机(1+小时)+车(7++小时)我们到住宿时已过了4点下午休息后,我们决定换我们行程先去找找地鹃。可是,一整天在森林都没看到还只听到2声。

还好这一只这么漂亮的鸟竟然在我们喝热茶等鸟时,竟然自己飞过来。上帝很厉害配颜色。

We saw one just 3-5feet from us stand there and cannot take any picture and this bird same just came to us and look at us .. beautiful moment even not a good picture compare to previous feeding station picture but it is a different satisfaction to find one wild..

– 我们在找地鹃时,那个点蛮多这鸟的。我们最近的一只竟然跳到我们3-5尺前看着我们,对焦都不行。这一只在第2天我们也在找地鹃时,他自己跳出来看我们。野拍的,我们会比较记住那一这么美好的一刻。

update 20240114

– even it is high chance to find it’s roosting bird, but we always like to find the bird in night. Ours’ first morning, have a good try and the bird didn’t make any sound… I am amaze how I found it (haha, by the thermal camera.. found it once very near and 2nd time quite a distance)

– 虽然在这,当地导游都会找到早上版的。可是我与我的客人都是喜欢自己找找(不喜欢等人家找到叫你去看)。第一个早上,我们就去找找。到森林后,没很久就找到了。(很不可思议的找到,它没叫!。。不啦我是有热量仪相机找到啦)

– 几乎不大可能在短时间拍到这特有种鸟,非常活跃,跳非常快。可是运气好(还是不好?)我们主要目标没出现,只好在这等待。让我有一点时间去拍拍这鸟。鹪鹛啊,我最爱的鸟种。

202312, Mount Kerinchi, Sumatra, Indonesia

14. Sumatran Treepie, 马来树鹊, 蘇門答臘樹鵲, Dendrocitta occipitalis, シラガオナガ

Again this is another reason setup customize button for my R3 which can shoot in complex environment (just like this) point the focus points (I using 5 point) on to any part of the bird and eye will be lock focus ..very useful and suitable for people like shooting wildbird in move

– 我们以为可以在喂食点看到,可是等了一个早上都没声音。我们没等,在上山路中听到也蛮容易找到(有神器嘛)。还有这是个好教材,我的CANON R3, 为了快速拍到懂得鸟通常都是开全福/中部区域对焦(鸟眼)可是在这种情况是应该很难找到的(有时也可以)。可是我选了其中一个钮,放了5点对焦(鸟眼)。通常找不到后,我很快用这个对焦钮碰鸟的任何一个部位。立刻就可以找到鸟眼了。。真的很好用!

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。

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

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“

Very similar to Little Paradise-Kingfisher, but Common Paradise-Kingfisher is larger, with a paler crown, white rather than blue outer tail feathers and a heavier bill.

普通仙翡翠身长22 cm,雄鸟体重58-65g,雌鸟体重55-69 g。成鸟有蓝紫前额,蓝顶蓝枕。眼先黑色,脸颊和腮部蓝紫色。两侧颈部、肩胛至脑后背部有一蓝黑色半领。小覆羽黑色,中覆羽亮天蓝色。其余的飞翼上方是蓝紫色。尾部形成一个白色环带,中央抽出两根十分细长的绶带,外缘蓝色,末端纯白色膨大成拍状。嘴红色,虹膜深褐色,腿部黄褐色。 [1]幼鸟的头部羽毛深褐色,与黄色的眼先前额接壤,其它地方是红色。眼眉又长又黑。双翼,尾巴均是深褐色。大多数覆羽的内衬明亮的红色。尾巴中央是蓝色,其下浅黄色,有小覆羽羽为黑色,喉咙和胸部边缘有纹。嘴是灰棕色。 [1]

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 …

BoP #2 which is my target #1 for this tour, was just about 20min walking after Twelve-wired Bird-of-Paradise, but this is so much smaller, higher & active makes only a very limited angle to get the full view. I am lucky to have this just ~5min wait.

King Bird-of-paradise, 王极乐鸟

3. Lesser Bird-of-paradise, 小极乐鸟, 小天堂鳥, Paradisaea minor, コフウチョウ, Cendrawasih Kecil

4. Pale-billed Sicklebill, 淡嘴镰嘴风鸟, 白嘴鐮嘴天堂鳥, Drepanornis bruijnii, シロカマハシフウチョウ, Paruh-sabit paruh-putih

After 5 days of “enjoy”, reasonable food, easy walk (flat), air-cond room, not far from airport and bird spots .. we finally move to 2nd destination Arfak Mountain..

After got the information before, we get ready with some extra food … sleeping beg, insect repellent, etc .. just before we going into a “no Phone” (only a particular spot can get a phone signal which is a bit distance from our “homestay”. 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 …

Day1 at Arfak Mountain

5. Western Parotia, 阿法六线风鸟, 阿法六線風鳥, Parotia sefilata, カンザシフウチョウ, Parotia Arfak

– lucky to have this amazing, lovely bird for bird #1 .. we walk a very steep hike ~45-60 degree uphill for ~500m … we saw the bird-eating, calling for the whole morning but just not dancing … at ~9 am, we almost give up … the female came to the dancing group, followed by the male than the moment begin …

update 202105
