– it is an old picture, another not a good memory to have .. too many pressure to cause the chick fledged too earlier …. it still not really able to fly, fall into the river few times and safe back … can’t do much beside wish them good luck
– 久照片，不喜欢放“巢”有关照片（如果放 1.我绝对有信心没人会打扰 2.多余1年后吧）这鸟照，蛮不高兴的一刻。太多的打扰，逼得小鸟提早出巢。还不很会飞，几次跌进河。我们几个挚友希望他们安全。

update 202408
– honor to try out the new CANON R5mii, most of us really wish firmware upgrade for R5marki for better AF features. but we know while the markii launch mean the hope will fall on the new R5markii. Yes, the AF improve dramatically, it have AF function like R3, R7, R6markii with add on of new feature too.
– this bird fly quite low and any direction, I track it quite well too
what I like
i. animal detect, eye detection now included for single point, 5 points, any zone and also full area
ii. add on new focus area which disable all animal detect !!! it back to old AF method “point AF” .. very useful for condition for the camera difficult to detect the animal !!!
iii. the animal detect simply awesome, it pick up the animal so fast even at complex environment.. hope I can share more soon
iv. tracking is good too, even it is nothing compare to new R1 .. and may R3 (may be so use to the R3, feel the R3 pick up faster and track more “sticky”)
v. the .5s continuous pre-shoot is a real good feature !!! for wildlife .. I dont have many chance test this but it should be one of the best feature !!! all other brands may also follow this soon 😀
– 非常幸运马来西亚佳能，借了我新的R5markii用了3天。相信大家都有与我一样的“希望”。对焦。对焦。对焦。
对我3天的用，我一些感想。
i. 终于，它有了与R3,R7, R6makrii一样的对焦功能，加上新的“点”对焦。吧对焦区域直接换这个，就会想久的对焦方式。不会用上动物对焦。（在很多情况下，这会帮我们对焦上AI 找不到动物）
ii, 动物对焦真的很快，复杂的情况也很快找到。追焦，还是可以。可能用习惯R3， 感觉R3还是追焦好点。等2-3星期后再试。
iii. 那个半秒一直预先拍下半秒的照片，这应该是这几的最好的创新吧（相信其他品牌应该也会用这个吧）。拍下半秒加上继续的1-2秒。只要不是过了相机buffer,相机是一只普通的拍的。不用像以前所有的预拍功能要等上好几秒才可以继续用相机。这真的是太好了。
7. Malaysian Rail-babbler, 白眉长颈鸫, 白眉長頸鶇, Eupetes macrocerus, クイナチメドリ, GEMBALA-KERA
update 202408
– it is a tough day, been assign with a 1.5 days (actually just one day for Rail-babbler as main target). After meet Hermina & Shannon, they really keen to see the Rail-babbler… so we make a early move and have a long coffee stop before we go into forest due to some early morning rain. Immediate arrive the area, after got 1 frogmouth calling, and sight the Banded Woodpecker. I heard the Rail-babbler calling, immediate trying to track it down and we spit the bird less than 10 minutes … ring my buddy and hope he is happy man now ..
– 接受了一项几乎是不可能任务，1天时间看白眉长颈鸫。与两名客人交谈后，虽然她们都没来过马来西亚。可是还是觉得要用时间看这目标鸟。一大早下了场小雨，我们吃了进林子。到了没太久，竟然还听到蟆口鸱叫。。。虽然找了一会还是放弃，因为听到白眉长颈鸫叫。找了10多分钟，竟然找到了。。。。。幸运啊
update 202409
– it is a special request to have this bird just for single day.. real challenge for this rare and shy bird
– 非常特别要求，在一天哪要看这么一只害羞，稀有的鸟。
8. Rufous Woodpecker, 栗啄木鸟, 栗啄木鳥, Micropternus brachyurus, クリチャゲラ, BELATUK BIJI NANGKA
update 202410
– a very common lowland forest, mangrove, sub-montane woodpecker. Overall rufous which difficult to miss this bird.
– it is a special out to test the R1, may be I am already start use the “Pre-capture” long ago .. (those Olympus old time, Panasonic etc) for me to captured this kind of “trap focus” “jumping” picture is very easy … now Canon finally come with proper Pre-capture and improve it with … “continous Pre-capture” ..mean it is almost every half-press is a pre capture .. as long as control well the buffer… I hope I can find a better way to share to all of this about this “Best feature” to have for Wildlife Photography
– 这鸟蛮普通几乎在红树林，低海拔，中海拔森林都容易看到。棕色的鸟不难错过。
– 在这几天，我是在想办法记录下“我想大家知道R1 的强大”。。。其中一环是“预拍”。这功能在很久以前我一开始用，在Olympus, Panasonic 可能在10年前就开始有这个很好的功能。有这功能后，拍摄“陷阱对焦”的“起飞跳”降落“ 几乎都没难读。可是这次，佳能的是绝对加强版的“预拍”。。。之前我们拍后都要等上好几秒相机才可以继续使用。可是这次，佳能的是“连续预拍”只要控制好。几乎每一刻都是预拍的。（可是卡可是要大大的，不然很快就卡满）。。还在努力中要怎么呈现我想表达。
9. Black-thighed falconet, 黑腿小隼, Microhierax fringillarius,モモグロヒメハヤブサ, RAJAWALI-BELALANG MELAYU
update 202411
– The only species in Peninsular Malaysia which also one of the world’s smallest raptors, often seen perched high, watching for prey.
– While testing the new Canon R1’s Pre-continuous Shooting and AF performance, I captured one of many frames. I’ll share more from the full sequence in the near future.
– 在马来西亚半岛唯一的物种，同时也是世界上最小的猛禽之一，经常被看到栖息在高处，观察猎物。
在测试新款佳能 R1 的连续预拍摄和自动对焦性能时，我捕捉到了众多画面中的一个。不久后我会分享更多完整的拍摄序列。

– a post make us think, why me and my best buddy (i think he think the same now) always got something unexpected. It is boring to know the result while you going for … buddy hope everything is fine for you … I really miss ours time, you make me strong, you make me ignore gossip …
– 我们主要目标都拍到后。就尽量找找其他主要目标，这鸟几乎都是每个人的想看鸟之一。我们慢慢的走，到了第一个步道没听到什么声音。我们继续到另一个步道，也没听到什么。可是我们还是走进去，大概要到他的跳舞点时。突然听到他叫。我们接近时他很怕，跑了！。我们只有走去远点的地方，等了没很久。大概5-10分钟后，他突然就出来跳起舞来（母的在后面）。高兴时了。
– 这令我想起我的最好朋友，我们的初衷就是看+拍野鸟。拍不到没事，要享受。我真的想你了，想我们一起出去吃“白果”的时候。你的每一句，都把我变得坚强。。。最重要的我记得，我们不需要其他人怎么看我们，讲我们。。。。

– One of the primary reasons to visit Sumatra Island in Indonesia is to witness this incredible endemic species. I must say, you’ll be amazed by the breathtaking beauty of this bird when viewed through binoculars or a camera lens.
– During our 6-day photography trip, we encountered this bird multiple times. On the final evening, despite the misty weather, we were fortunate to see it flying around to feed. It was the perfect chance to capture some shots of it in flight (BIF). The new Canon R1 made photographing BIF much easier, even in the challenging jungle environment.

– 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）

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。

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 202411
– Last year, after searching for this beautiful bird for two days with another group, we were rewarded with an incredible view. From that experience, we learned that waiting patiently wasn’t enough—we needed to act quickly. Determined, we formed another group to return a year later. This time, on the first day, we only heard the bird but couldn’t catch a glimpse of it. However, on the second day, our efforts paid off with an amazing sighting of this rare and stunning endemic species of Sumatra. Happy for the group!
– 去年，我们与另一个团队一起寻找这只美丽的鸟儿，经过两天的努力，终于得到了一个令人难以置信的观赏机会。从那次经历中，我们明白了，光是耐心等待是不够的——我们需要果断行动。于是，我们决定组织另一个团队，一年后再次前往。这次，第一天我们只能听到鸟鸣，却没能看到它。然而，在第二天，我们的努力终于得到了回报，成功观赏到了这只罕见而美丽的苏门答腊特有鸟种。为团队感到开心！

– 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！

– 这只活跃的小鸟头顶有深色条纹，脸上有小小的黑色面纹，身体呈鲜艳的金黄色。

I photographed this bird in Sumatra last year, and this year, with the Photography group, we put in extra effort for a better shot. Finally, we were rewarded with some truly amazing moments with this elusive bird…
– 这是一种小而神秘的鸟，总是匆匆出现又迅速消失。它稀有且害羞，很难清晰地观察到。去年我在苏门答腊拍摄到了这只鸟，而今年，我和摄影小组一起更加努力，希望能拍到更好的照片。最终，我们得到了与这只难得一见的鸟相遇的美好瞬间。
