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。

这次很幸运的站了很低让我们拍。

update 202305

– 通常站的高高的。每次都是肚皮版。这次终于让我们看的好好的,加上照片

202304, Tangkoko, Sulawesi, Indonesia
102. White-necked Myna, 白颈鹊椋鸟, 白頸鵲椋鳥, Streptocitta albicollis, カササギムクドリ

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)

 

update 202306

– a rather common endemic, but normally high up at canopy. a lucky moment it stand quite low for us this time. (few occasions)

– 蛮普通的苏拉威西特有种。可是总是站高高,这次也幸运见到几次都蛮低。

202304, Tangkoko, Sulawesi, Indonesia

 

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。
update 202401
– a very special and beautiful endemic for Bali, wont wrong as long as you see medium size and white bird .. think only near Bali National Park area
– 非常特别的巴厘岛特有种,白

– common urban area, near the forest edge

– 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。

Nonbreeding plumages have black replaced by brown. Mainly coastal, on sandy beaches, dry mudflats, and at salt ponds, usually near water; also locally inland. Migrants will join with flocks of other shorebirds. [Ebird]

环颈鸻是鸻形目鸻科鸻属鸟类,又名白领鸻。 [5-6]成鸟夏羽上体为柔和的沙褐色,下体纯白色;额至眉纹白色,额基和头顶前部黑色;头顶、枕和后颈沙褐色略泛栗色;眼先至耳覆羽有—横带状黑色贯眼纹;翼褐色,覆羽具白缘,飞羽黑褐色具大白斑;尾褐色,带黑色亚端斑和白色端斑;虹膜黑褐色,眼圈暗黄色不显著;喙黑色;脚褐色至暗橙黄色。成鸟冬羽似夏羽,但额基、贯眼纹、颈侧等黑色区域转为褐色,头顶不泛栗红色调。幼鸟羽色似成鸟冬羽,且上体具有浅色羽缘。 [7

Panasonic G9 + CANON EF500mm F4 + Viltrox EF-M1 : TEST1

I am Canon user for long, and recently I have my Panasonic setup slowly build up. I like my L lens and my G9 ….

 

one day, someone told me . I actually can use all my L lens on my M4/3 G9 . Due to busy work schedule, I dont have time to look into it until last week. I finally have time purchase one online and test it last 2 days … I did very quick test more testing would like to do

so I started with m2 adapter which give me

1. 1.4 crop (mean 500mm Canon F4 IS2, I got ~710mm and biggest aperture F2.8)

2. one stop bigger aperture

3. lost len Image stabiliser

4. AFC hunting, AFH is not working at all

5. either TC (CANON, PANASONIC) is not working (but tested on Olympus camera, it is working but very slow AF)

6. AF speed almost same like my G9 + LEICA 200mm F2.8 (almost not noticeable different)

previous test

Panasonic G9 + CANON EF500mm F4 + Viltrox EF-M2II : TEST1

Panasonic G9 + CANON EF500mm F4 + Viltrox EF-M2II : TEST2 High Resolution

 

############

After months testing the m2 adapter, I decided get m1 adapter for test and so far I tested 2 outing … here are the finding

1. 2x crop (mean 500mm Canon F4 IS2, I got 1000mm)

2. same biggest aperture (1000mm F4)

3. lost len Image stabiliser

4. AFC hunting, AFH is not working at all

5. TC (CANON) is working but very slow AF and aperture maintain at F1.0 so exposure can be problem

6. AF speed almost same like my G9 + LEICA 200mm F2.8 (almost not noticeable different) or even faster than m2 adapter

1. Sunda Leopard Cat, 巽它豹猫, Prionailurus javanensis

Found this cute and little cat on 2 night drive at recent Borneo Birding tour, lets share this video before I check out the pictures of the other drive

 

 

2. Bornean clouded leopard, 婆罗洲云豹, Neofelis diardi borneensis

– a rare wild cat, largest wild cat in Borneo

– 婆罗洲云豹是马来云豹的2个亚种之一。是婆罗洲岛最大的食肉动物,大小与小型美洲狮相当,头体长61-106厘米、尾长55-91厘米;体重16-23千克。外形以及体表的花纹都与亚洲其他地方地方云豹相似,只是体表的斑纹的色彩要暗很多,其犬齿长度相对于体型来说,居猫科动物之首。据科学家对比后发现,基于外部形态的对比,科学家发现婆罗洲云豹皮毛颜色要比大陆云豹更深更暗,身上的云状斑纹比大陆云豹小些,并出现了双背脊线。而大陆云豹的云状斑纹较大(其中尼泊尔云豹斑块最大),但在斑纹内斑点较少,毛色比婆罗洲云豹更加亮丽,双背脊线不连贯。

– another lucky shot of the ~1minute, where the cat turn around moving to bushs. It is such a beautiful animal
