1. Ornate Pitta, 丽色八色鸫, 麗色八色鸫, Pitta concinna, インドネシアノドグロヤイロチョウ

A typical pitta: plump, short-tailed, long-legged, and primarily terrestrial (sometimes perches up to call). Bright green above with electric blue shoulder patch and rump and black head with conspicuous pale brow. Underside golden-buff with black and bright red on the belly. Juvenile duller, with little blue in wing, an orange-tipped bill, and a pinkish belly. Resident in woodland, forest, scrub, and plantations in the lowlands and hills of the Lesser Sundas, from Lombok east to Alor. Formerly regarded as a subspecies of Elegant Pitta, to which it is very similar; Ornate averages more extensively black on the throat and lower belly, and has a fairly evenly divided rufous-and-white “eyebrow.” Also note Ornate’s whistled two-note call [Ebird]

典型的八色鸫:体型圆胖,尾巴短,腿长,主要在地面活动(有时会飞到高处鸣叫)。身体上部鲜绿色,肩部和尾部有亮蓝色斑块,头部黑色,带有醒目的浅色眉纹。下体为金黄褐色,腹部带有黑色和鲜红色。幼鸟的颜色较暗淡,翅膀上的蓝色较少,喙尖呈橙色,腹部略带粉红色。

分布于小巽他群岛的低地和丘陵地区,包括林地、森林、灌丛和种植园,从龙目岛向东延伸至阿洛尔岛。过去被认为是优雅八色鸫的一个亚种,与其非常相似;但装饰八色鸫喉部和腹部下方的黑色范围更广,且眉纹为较均匀分布的红褐色和白色。此外,装饰八色鸫的鸣叫声为清晰的两声式哨音。

update 202512

After successfully getting all our target birds, we took it easy and birded along the main forest road. Suddenly, 3–4 of these Pittas started calling nearby, and one of them came as close as 10 feet from me!

 

This individual even stood out in the open for 2–3 minutes, giving us a fantastic natural encounter—not at a feeding station, but in the wild. A very different kind of excitement.

Hope everyone enjoyed this Lombok bird photography trip. And Imran—see you next time!

在顺利记录到所有目标鸟种后,我们便轻松地沿着森林主路边赏鸟。突然有三四只八色鸫在附近鸣叫,其中一只甚至走到离我不到3米的地方!

这只还在空地上停留了2–3分钟,给了我们一次非常自然、非喂食环境下的精彩邂逅,别有一番乐趣。

 

#####

Finally had the chance to revisit this spot again. As usual, the Pitta was quite tame but didn’t make it easy for everyone to get a good shot. Still, I was lucky enough to get a satisfying photo.

Despite the light drizzle, we managed to photograph two of our main targets during this one evening session.

Such a lovely Pitta!

终于再次重访这个地方。像往常一样,这只八色鸫虽然不怕人,但并没有很好地配合大多数人拍照。不过我这次运气不错,拍到了自己满意的一张。

尽管傍晚有些毛毛细雨,我们还是顺利拍到了这次摄影行程的两个主要目标鸟种。

可爱的八色鸫,太棒了!

update 202412

A special arrangement was made with Ramesh for a relaxing birding trip focused on collecting a few endemic species. As usual, pittas, owls, and woodpeckers were our primary targets. Upon arriving at the airport, we had a ~1.5-hour drive followed by a short walk to the feeding spot. After less than 15 minutes of waiting, the bird showed up beautifully, allowing for this “pre-poo” moment to be captured perfectly.

与Ramesh进行了特别安排,来了一次轻松的观鸟之旅,主要目标是收集几种特有物种。和往常一样,八色鸫、猫头鹰和啄木鸟是我们的重点目标。抵达机场后,经过大约1.5小时的陆路旅行,再步行一小段路就到了投喂点。等待不到15分钟,这只鸟便美丽地现身,成功捕捉到了这个“大便”的精彩时刻。

2. Rinjani Scops-Owl, 林加尼山角鸮, 倫佳尼角鴞, Otus jolandae, リンジャニコノハズク

A small brown owl with feathered ear tufts and yellow eyes, restricted to Lombok. Mostly brown with scattered white and pale markings on wings, sparsely streaked underparts, and a clear “double” facial disk with both blackish and white borders. Found in various forests and plantations in the lowlands and foothills. Distinctive: the only small owl on Lombok, and the only owl there with ear tufts. Gives a single note song, “woot,” ascending slightly at the end [Ebird]

一种小型棕色猫头鹰,头部有羽毛形成的耳簇,眼睛为黄色,仅分布于龙目岛。主要为棕色,翅膀上散布着白色和浅色斑纹,下体有稀疏的条纹,面盘清晰,呈“双层”结构,边缘为黑色和白色相间。在低地和丘陵地区的各种森林和种植园中都能找到这种猫头鹰。特征鲜明:是龙目岛上唯一的小型猫头鹰,也是岛上唯一有耳簇的猫头鹰。其鸣叫声为单音“woot”,尾音略微上扬。

update 202512

This is one of our main targets for visiting Lombok Island. It didn’t take long to spot the bird, but we had to wait patiently for a better photo opportunity.

Although it’s a common owl on Lombok, getting a clean shot still required some effort—but it was worth it!

这是我们前往龙目岛的主要目标鸟种之一。虽然很快就观测到它,但我们花了不少时间等待更好的拍摄机会。

尽管这只猫头鹰在龙目岛相对常见,但想要拍到干净漂亮的照片依然不容易——不过一切都是值得的!

update 202412

This special, quick, and relaxed trip to Lombok, Indonesia, focused on our second main target. We spotted a few birds, but only one came reasonably close and perched low. It resembled other scops-owls, offering another great sighting enhanced by modern technology.

这次特别的短途轻松旅行前往印度尼西亚的龙目岛,重点目标是第二主要目标。我们发现了几种鸟类,但只有一只靠得比较近且停得较低。它看起来与其他领角鸮非常相似,通过现代技术提供了另一个精彩的观鸟体验。

3. White-tailed Tropicbird, 白尾鹲, 白尾熱帶鳥, Phaethon lepturus, シラオネッタイチョウ, Buntut-sate putih

A medium-sized white seabird with black marks on the wings and a yellow beak. The long white tail streamers are visible from a great distance. Nests on coastal and inland cliffs on the main islands. Often seen flying over canyons and along cliffs. At sea usually flies high above the water. Calls are loud clucks and squawks. Smaller and more graceful in flight than Red-tailed Tropicbird [Ebird]

中型白色海鸟,翅膀上有黑色斑纹,喙为黄色。长长的白色尾羽从远处即可见到。栖息于主要岛屿的沿海和内陆悬崖上。常见于峡谷上空和悬崖边飞翔。在海上通常飞得离水面较高。叫声为响亮的咯咯声和尖叫声。相比红尾鹱,这种鸟体型较小,飞行更为优雅。

update 202412

I just can’t help but share more of this lovely bird… under the hot sun, it’s such a beautiful sight to watch them soaring through the sky.

我忍不住再分享更多这只这么美的鸟… 在炽热的阳光下,看到它们在天空中翱翔真是太美了。

One of the target birds can be found here, making it an incredibly beautiful location to observe this species. The view is breathtaking, and I hope to return again. While waiting for a better sighting of the bird, I was fortunate to also spot a Dugong, Green Turtle, and Spinner Dolphins. Watching this bird gracefully soar through the air is truly mesmerizing.

其中一种目标鸟可以在这里看到,这里是观赏这种鸟类的绝佳地点,风景非常优美,希望能再来一次。等待更好观鸟机会时,还幸运地看到了儒艮、绿海龟和飞旋海豚。这种鸟在空中优雅飞翔的姿态,实在令人着迷。

202412, Lombok, Indonesia

4. Pale-headed Munia, 淡色文鸟, 淡頭文鳥, Lonchura pallida, セレベスヘキチョウ, Bondol Kepala-pucat

A small finch with a striking white head and dark body. Rich chestnut brown above, with reddish tail and pale peach-washed underside. Juveniles much duller and browner, but usually show a paler head. Gregarious, found in terrestrial flocks, often with other finches, in open country such as marshes, croplands, grasslands and scrub, in the lowlands. Juvenile has a paler head and a noticeably smaller bill than juvenile Five-colored Munia. Gives weak, high-pitched “weee” and stronger, metallic “wit-wit-wit” notes [Ebird]

一种体型较小的雀鸟,白色头部与深色身体形成鲜明对比。背部为浓郁的栗棕色,尾巴呈红色,下腹带有浅桃色的晕染。幼鸟颜色较暗偏棕,但通常头部较浅色。性情群居,常与其他雀鸟混群活动,生活在低地的开阔地带,如沼泽、农田、草地和灌木丛。幼鸟头部颜色较浅,喙比五色梅花雀的幼鸟明显更小。鸣声包括柔弱而高音的“weee”,以及更强、更金属感的“wit-wit-wit”音符。

update 202412

This munia is very common in the open areas of Lombok Island and can be spotted almost everywhere. It resembles the White-headed Munia but features a darker back and front.

这种文鸟在龙目岛的开阔地带非常常见,几乎随处可见。它与白头梅花雀相似,但背部和前部颜色较深。

202412, Lombok, Indonesia

 

5. Supertramp Fantail, 阿拉弗拉扇尾鹟, 阿拉弗拉扇尾鹟, Rhipidura semicollaris

update 202412

It is a fairly common species found in Bali, Sumba, and Lombok, but this beautiful fantail is truly captivating. We were searching for the Five-colored Munia, but this bird appeared just before we could get a good look at the munia.

这种扇尾鸟在巴厘岛、松巴岛和龙目岛都相当常见,但它依然非常迷人。我们本来在寻找五彩文鸟,但这只扇尾鸟在我们还没来得及好好观察文鸟时就出现了。

202412, Lombok, Indonesia

 

6. Golden-headed Cisticola, 金头扇尾莺, 黃頭扇尾鶯, Cisticola exilis, タイワンセッカ, Cici Merah

Tiny, sandy-colored bird with short tail and dark-streaked back. Breeding adult males have orange-gold crown. Song a thin, high-pitched, drawn-out buzzing. Inhabits grasslands of northern and eastern Australia, where perches prominently. In similar grassland habitats, Tawny Grassbird has much longer tail. Very similar Zitting Cisticola always has a streaked crown and a very different “tick-tick-tick” song but otherwise almost identical. [Ebird]

细小的沙色鸟,尾巴短,背部有深色条纹。繁殖期成年的雄鸟头顶呈橙金色。鸣声为细高音的延长嗡鸣。栖息于澳大利亚北部和东部的草原,常显眼地栖于枝头。在类似的草原栖息地,褐草鸟的尾巴明显更长。非常相似的褐顶苇莺头顶始终有条纹,鸣声“滴滴滴”的节奏截然不同,但外形几乎完全相同。

update 202412

A small bird with a distinctive sequence of calls, often perched high to observe human activity, seemingly curious about us when we arrive at a new location.

一只发出独特连续叫声的小鸟,常常高高地栖息着观察人类活动,当我们到达一个新地点时,似乎对我们充满好奇。

202412, Lombok, Indonesia

 

7. Five-colored Munia, 五彩文鸟, 巽他五彩文鳥, Lonchura quinticolor, ゴシキキンパラ, Bondol Pancawarna

update 202510

We had limited encounters with this species in Lombok—only managed to spot two individuals, and both kept their distance throughout.

我们在龙目岛并没有看到太多这种鸟类,只观察到两只,而且它们始终与我们保持一定距离。

202510, Lombok, Indonesia

 

8. White-rumped Kingfisher, 白腰翡翠, Caridonax fulgidus, コシジロショウビン, Cekakak Tunggir-putih

update 202512

This forest Kingfisher is probably one of the shyest I’ve ever encountered.

I tried photographing it during my last trip here but failed after several attempts. This time, we finally had a clear and prolonged view. Still, the bird remained very shy, making it challenging for everyone to get good shots.

A bit of a shame that some angles didn’t give a clear view, but still a rewarding sighting!

这是一只非常害羞的林翠鸟,可能是我记录过最害羞的翠鸟之一。

上一次来这里时我就尝试拍它,但几次都失败了。这次终于看到它清晰又停留较久的画面。不过它依然很警惕,不是每个人都能拍到好照片。

可惜有些角度看不清,但能再见到它,依然是一段值得的经历!

202512, Lombok island, Indonesia

 

9. Cinnamon-banded Kingfisher, 冠翡翠, 桂紅紋翡翠, Todiramphus australasia, チモールショウビン, Cekakak Kalung-coklat

update 202512

It’s not a lifer for most of us, as we’ve already seen it on Sumba Island. But this time in Lombok, we were just taking it easy when the ranger mentioned the bird was nearby.

We thought, “Why not?”—and that led to the toughest hike of the trip!
Thankfully, it paid off with a wonderful view of this beautiful Kingfisher.

这对我们大多数人来说并不是新鸟,因为我们之前在松巴岛就已经见过了。

不过这次在龙目岛,我们原本很轻松地休息,结果护林员告诉我们这只鸟就在附近,我们就想:“为什么不试试看?”

于是就开始了这趟旅程中最辛苦的一次攀爬!所幸最后有了非常棒的视野,看到这只美丽的翠鸟,值得了。

10. Eastern Red-rumped Swallow, 金腰燕, 赤腰燕, Cecropis daurica, コシアカツバメ, LAYANG-LAYANG API BIASA, Burung Layang-Layang Api

update 202512

This is a common bird in Lombok, but it used to be quite a challenge to capture with DSLR back in the day. Now, with improved gear, it’s almost as easy as 1-2-3!

Distinct features: streaked throat and chest, plus a bright orange rump—such a striking little bird!

这是龙目岛的常见鸟种,但在早期用单反相机拍摄时其实并不容易。如今器材升级,拍起来就像 1-2-3 一样简单了!

明显特征:喉部和胸部有条纹,还有亮眼的橙色臀部——非常吸睛的一只小鸟!

202512, Lombok island, Indonesia

 

11. Orange-footed Megapode, 橙脚塚雉, 橙腳塚雉, Megapodius reinwardt, オーストラリアツカツクリ, Gosong Kaki-merah

update 202512

A very common bird in Lombok, but not always easy to photograph. This time, we were lucky—three individuals appeared to be sharing nesting territory, allowing us to capture some great close-range photos and videos.

这是龙目岛非常常见的鸟种,但平时却不容易拍到。这次我们运气不错,有三只似乎在共用一个繁殖区域,让我们有机会在近距离拍到一些不错的照片和视频。

202512, Lombok island, Indonesia

 

12. Wallacean Drongo, 华莱士卷尾, 華勒西亞卷尾, Dicrurus densus vicinus, ウォーレスオウチュウ, Srigunting Wallacea

update 202512

Was this the final bird of our Lombok Bird Photography Tour? Possibly — and what a challenge it was! Extremely shy and not easy to capture on camera.
Still, it remains one of Indonesia’s remarkable country endemics — a true highlight despite the effort!

这是我们龙目岛拍鸟之旅的最后一只鸟吗?也许是!拍摄它真的不容易,非常害羞!
尽管如此,它依然是印度尼西亚非常精彩的特有种之一,值得我们为它付出努力!

It was a fortunate moment while waiting for our target bird—we spotted a Dugong, a group of Dolphins putting on a show, and a few Green Turtles. Although they were at a bit of a distance, it was a joy to witness their display.

在等待目标鸟的过程中,我们遇到了一个幸运的时刻——看到了儒艮、一群表演中的海豚,以及几只绿海龟。虽然它们离我们有些距离,但欣赏到它们的表演还是让人非常开心。

Today was supposed to be all about finding the Kingfisher, but since it was nowhere to be found, we spent some time with this bird instead. It is always a joy to capture its flight on camera.

Same spot as last year where this bird was actively flying around. Everyone was excited to try for some bird-in-flight shots. For me, it was a great chance to test the Canon R6 Mark III’s AF tracking. So far, it performs well in the field—most of the time it can lock focus even when the bird is flying directly toward us, not just sideways.

和去年一样的地点,这只鸟又在附近飞来飞去,大家都很兴奋尝试抓拍飞行镜头。对我来说,是个很好的机会测试 Canon R6 Mark III 的自动对焦追踪功能。目前在实地表现不错,大多数时候即使鸟是朝着我们飞来而不是水平飞行,相机也能准确追焦。

– 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。

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。

– 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。

– 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。

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。

update 202602

Years ago (probably more than 10 years back), this Mangrove Pitta spot was also known for a pair of woodpeckers that often came down to feed. Today, while checking on the Mangrove Pitta, the main target didn’t show up—but instead, a pair of Laced Woodpeckers dropped in and entertained us. A very nice bonus encounter.

很多年前(可能已经超过10年),这个红树林八色鸫的地点,常有一对同种啄木鸟下来觅食。今天在寻找红树林八色鸫时,主角没有现身,却迎来了一对花纹啄木鸟来“客串演出”,也算是一次很棒的意外收获。

– 马来半岛很普通的啄木鸟,通常在红树林出没。

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。

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 202507

It was a scorching afternoon with barely any bird activity—until we heard this one calling loudly. Not long after, it came right to us, proudly showing off those striking long legs!

那是一个酷热的下午,几乎没有鸟儿现身——直到我们听到这只鸟大声鸣叫。不久之后,它就出现在我们面前,还自豪地展示了那双迷人的长腿!

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。

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。

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!

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。

After a long wait in the heavy rain at dusk, this bird finally appeared silently. I couldn’t help but shout, “Malaysian Eared-Nightjar!” and managed to capture it using a very high ISO of #ISO51200. Despite the challenging conditions, it’s still great to see details of its back and chest.

在黄昏时分的大雨中等待良久,这只鸟终于悄无声息地出现了。我忍不住喊出:“马来短耳夜鹰!”并用非常高的 ISO 值 #ISO51200 拍下了它。尽管拍摄条件艰难,仍然能清楚看到它的背部和胸部细节,令人欣喜。
