This is the first bird of our special Rail-Babbler target tour. We walked into the forest, and before we could even get a good photo of any other birds, this one was already actively calling and flying near us. It took a while to get a reasonable shot, but on day two at Lenggor Forest, we encountered it again. This time, its better behavior allowed us to get much better pictures. It was an amazing bonus for the tour, as we didn’t expect such a great photo session with this active bird.
这是我们这次 白眉长颈鸫目标鸟团的第一只鸟。我们刚走进森林，还没来得及拍到其他鸟的好照片，这只鸟就一直在我们附近活跃地鸣叫和飞行。花了不少时间才拍到一张过得去的照片，但第二天在冷格森林（Lenggor Forest）我们又遇到了它。这次它的配合度更高，让我们拍到了更好的照片。这真是行程中的一个额外惊喜，因为我们没想到能和这只活跃的鸟儿进行这么棒的拍摄。

Another very special tour—so happy we managed to see this unique monotypic species (one of the three target species in Malaysia) with great views! We did struggle a bit with the Rail-babbler though… it hasn’t responded at all for the past 1.5 days. Fingers crossed we’ll have better luck in the next two days!
又是一次特别的行程，我们很幸运地清楚看到这个独特的单种鸟类（马来西亚目标鸟种之一，共三个）。不过在寻找白眉长颈鸫还是很不活跃，过去一天半都没有回应。希望接下来两天能更幸运！

– another special trip to this “South” of Peninsular Malaysia but this time we actually target only Malaysian Rail-Babbler and Cinnamon-rumped Trogon. Day1 , we already have this bird again with better view and photo and the Rail-Babbler give a good view but …
– an active bird that everyone seem special look for this bird family
– 又一个特别安排摄鸟行，为了白眉长颈鸫+橙腰咬鹃. 可是我们一道，这一只这么稀有+特别的鸟就出来迎客。我们也很快拿下，可是白眉长颈鸫虽然出来蛮久。。。可是。。。。
#####
– a uncommon special bird family, a very black and active bird to be seen. It is not easy almost whole Malaysia except some South part of Malaysia
– we keep heard and miss this special bird for a long tour but it is so easy at the end of the extension.
– 蛮不普通的其中一种鸟种。非常害羞，活跃。几乎都不容易见到，除了在西马南部
– 19天观鸟团，就见到它飞来飞去。非常不容易，就在加长部分非常容易就见到了。

This babbler has an incredibly limited distribution, making it tough to find a good location to spot one. But luck was on our side! After a heavy rain, this trail came alive with amazing species like the Maroon-breasted Philentoma, Brown Fulvetta, Banded Broadbill, and Striped Wren-Babbler. Even so, this particular bird gave us a hard time behind the lens because it was just so energetic. I am incredibly glad we managed to capture this rare and active beauty.
这种眉的分布范围非常有限，很难找到理想的观测地点。但我们真的很幸运！在一场大雨过后，我们在这条步道上遇到了许多珍稀鸟类，比如栗胸王鹟、褐雀鹛、斑阔嘴鸟和纹鹪鹛。即便如此，面对如此活力十足的小鸟，拍摄过程依然充满挑战。非常高兴能记录到这种既罕见又活跃的鸟类。

– 另一个“白眉长颈鸫”目标团。在第二天把那鸟拿下后。我们就随便看看鸟，在一个早上。在听到他叫时，很快就拿下。虽然我的相机有些问题被逼用手动对焦（这鸟可是跳的非常快的）

– 2nd trip to this special location for special targets. This beautiful, rare bird some how not the main target we here for. But we normally heard and seen them well so never waste we spend some time to have good look of this bird. But for this trip, it is a target so we spend one special early morning for this and not bad for the outcome and some birds come close
– a very active bird and black-rufous overall normally move in pair
– 这个雨第2次到这特别的鸟点找很特别的鸟种。这么一只漂亮稀有的鸟也不不是目标鸟。可是这一次，朋友们是要这鸟的。所以我们用其中一个早上找这鸟。还好，给我们拍够够。
#####
– a boring evening … not really as main target no sight at all. But very lucky to have this bird give us good show for about 5 minutes. active and rare bird
– 很活跃+害羞的鸟。下午到达立刻找目标，可是目标完全没声，没影。还好这一只这么难的的鸟出来让我们看够够。
update 202606
It is hard to believe that we managed to spot our main target within the first hour of our walk into the forest. It was incredibly kind to us, offering a fantastic 10-minute encounter. Although the bird kept moving, making photography quite challenging, it was an amazing experience to watch it walking and displaying, followed later by what we believe to be another male.
真不敢相信，我们走进森林的第一小时就顺利找到了目标鸟种。它对我们非常友好，让我们近距离观察了足足十分钟。尽管它一直在走动，拍照难度很大，但能亲眼目睹它走路以及随后的求偶展示，依然是一次令人惊叹的体验；随后我们还见到了另一只疑似雄性的个体。

update 202508
This was a truly special tour for us, focusing on a very important target species. After two days of only hearing it without any sighting, we finally had an amazing view—right in front of the four of us, and even calling!
Such a memorable family trip—got all three special bird families: Rail-Babbler, Crested Jayshrike, and Bornean Bristlehead, all with photos too!
这是我们非常重要的一次特别行程，目标是非常特别的一种鸟。前两天只能听到声音，完全看不到，终于让我们在四人面前看到它，还在我们面前鸣叫！
一次难忘的家庭旅程，我们成功看到三种特别鸟类：棘头鵙、冠鸦和白眉长颈鸫，而且都有拍到照片！

– 一只非常害羞的鸟，通常都在地面山慢慢的走的。幸运啊

After successfully seeing both main target species in Peninsular Malaysia, we took it easy on our final morning with some casual birding. The forest was quiet most of the time, and we almost decided to wrap up the session—
Then suddenly, a surprise!
One of the woodpeckers we haven’t seen in nearly two years appeared, along with four other woodpecker species—all at close range. From a slow morning to an exciting finish!
在成功看到马来半岛的两种目标鸟后，我们决定在最后一个早上轻松观鸟。但整个早上森林都很安静，我们差点就决定收工了——
突然间，惊喜出现！
一只大约两年没见的啄木鸟突然现身，还有另外四种啄木鸟也都靠得很近。原本无聊的早晨，变成了一个精彩的收尾！

After getting our main target—the Malaysian Rail-babbler—we enjoyed a more relaxed birding session. This bird had been calling loudly for a few days, but we were too focused on the Rail-babbler to pay much attention.
Finally, we took the time to look for it—and wow, it really is a gorgeous bird!
—
在成功找到我们的主要目标——白眉长颈鸫之后，我们终于可以轻松观鸟了。其实这只鸟已经连续几天在叫了，但之前我们太专注目标鸟，一直没理它。
现在终于有时间找它，结果真的很漂亮！

update 202509
The forest has been unusually quiet for the past two days — even common species like bulbuls, flowerpeckers, and sunbirds are nowhere to be seen. Thankfully, this bird was one of the few that came low and close, feeding calmly without being bothered by our presence.
过去两天森林异常安静，连最常见的鹎鸟、啄花鸟和太阳鸟都不见踪影。还好这只鸟愿意靠近，并且安心进食，完全不受我们打扰，是少数还能好好观察和拍摄的鸟之一。

Always love checking in on this amazing bird nest, and this time it is even better since the chick is at its cutest, completely hairless stage. Treeswift nests are always a top choice for photography, though they are rarely at a good height. This one is in a pretty decent spot, and I do not think anyone else has found it yet. I really hope it stays undisturbed. It is another great find while birding. If we only stick to “waiting” in one spot, we would definitely miss gems like this.
我总是喜欢去观察这个最神奇的鸟巢，这次更棒，因为刚好遇到了雏鸟最可爱的阶段，全身无毛。凤头雨燕的巢向来是摄影的最佳选择，但它们并不总是在合适的高度。这次的位置还不错，我想应该还没有其他人发现它，希望它不会像其他鸟巢一样受到干扰。这是观鸟时又一个棒的收获，如果我们只是死守在一个地方“盲目等待”，肯定就会错过这只鸟了。

– 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。

– 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。

Just another moment captured with this beautiful yet shy bird. I’m accustomed to situations where people alter the environment—making it brighter and more open—just for the sake of photos, which can affect the bird’s natural behavior. However, that doesn’t diminish my happiness, especially with my birding buddy back in action after finally deciding to get his 400mm F2.8 following a slowdown in birding. Exciting times ahead, as I have more personal birding trips coming up soon!
又一次捕捉到这只美丽而害羞的鸟儿。
我已经习惯了有人为了拍照而改变环境——让它更明亮、更开阔——从而影响鸟类的自然行为。
但这并不会影响我的快乐，尤其是我的观鸟伙伴终于决定入手 400mm F2.8 镜头，在观鸟节奏放缓后再次回归。
接下来，我也有更多个人观鸟之旅要开启，令人期待！

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

– 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。

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。

While walking along the forest edge, we spotted a pair of large swifts flying overhead. They stayed quite high, but the lighting was just right to catch a clear view of their backs—what a nice moment!
我们在森林边时，看到一对大型雨燕从头顶飞过。它们飞得很高，但光线刚刚好，让我们清楚地看到它们背部的颜色——真是个美好的时刻！

Update 202508
There were plenty of Green Broadbills in the national park—we heard and saw several during just 1.5 days of birding. This particular pair stood out, as they came in close to us, looking curious and unbothered.
国家公园里有很多绿阔嘴鸟，我们短短一天半的时间就听到和看到好几只。这一对特别可爱，好奇地靠近我们，完全不怕人。

update 202508
This is one of the shy birds found here. Compared to the Bornean version—which lacks the white wing patch and is generally more tolerant of humans—this one tends to keep its distance.
A lucky morning with four birds coming in close—one of them even perched right at eye level for us!
在这里比较害羞的一种鸟类。相比婆罗洲的版本（没有白色翼斑，也不太怕人），这只明显更害羞一些。
今天早上运气不错，有四只鸟飞近我们，其中一只还停在我们视线平齐的位置！

update 202509
One of the most common woodpeckers in Malaysia! While starting a casual birding session with a few friends, this lovely bird came really close and stayed low—giving everyone a great view. A beautiful little woodpecker!
这是马来西亚最常见的啄木鸟之一！我们和几位朋友轻松开始观鸟时，这只可爱的啄木鸟飞得又近又低，让大家都看得很清楚。真是漂亮的小家伙！

update 202605
It was a fantastic day of birding right around Kuala Lumpur. We had an incredible morning session, spotting four different species of broadbills, all the local forest kingfishers, and four species of woodpeckers. A major highlight was the Bamboo Woodpecker, which stayed in view long enough for a spectacular look through the scope (though I unfortunately didn’t have my camera ready!).
The afternoon followed the usual quiet lull, but our luck held out. We ended the day on a high note with a pair of stunning kingfishers, providing the perfect closing to a wonderful trip.
这是一次非常圆满的吉隆坡周边一日游。早晨的表现堪称完美，我们一共记录到了4种阔嘴鸟、所有的林栖翠鸟以及4种啄木鸟。其中最令人惊喜的是竹啄木鸟，它停留了很久，让我们能通过单筒望远镜大饱眼福，可惜当时相机不在手边。
午后虽然鸟类活动如常减少，但我们运气不错，在行程结束前遇到了一对极其漂亮的翠鸟。这对迷人的翠鸟为今天的观鸟之旅画上了完美的句号。

Sometimes, birding isn’t just about rare birds or perfect photos. A few of us just went out to enjoy the fresh air and see what birds might show up. The whole morning was quiet, but this bird turned out to be the highlight for us.
It didn’t give the best pose, but we still enjoyed a peaceful morning and a delicious lunch!
有时候观鸟并不是为了拍到稀有或完美的照片。我们几个人只是出来呼吸新鲜空气，希望有鸟儿可以拍。整上午都很安静，只有这只鸟算是今天最有趣的收获。
虽然站的位置不太理想，但依然享受了一个轻松的早晨，加上一顿美味的午餐！

update 202510
It was another quiet morning, as expected—I had already told the group the forest might be slow this time. Still, we decided to revisit the same spot for the second time this month. Luckily, this bird family showed up and gave us some nice photo opportunities as they moved around.
又是一个安静的早晨，正如我之前告诉大家的，这段时间森林整体会比较冷清。尽管如此，我们还是这个月第二次走进这片林子。幸运的是，这一家鸟出现了，在我们面前来回活动，让我们拍到了一些不错的照片。
16. Lesser Green Leafbird, 小绿叶鹎, 小綠葉鵯, Chloropsis cyanopogon, コノハドリ, BURUNG-DAUN KECIL
update 202607
An incredible morning out in the field! A small bird flock descended low enough for us to capture some wonderful shots, including this lovely male leafbird.
Their brilliant emerald plumage provides exceptional camouflage deep within the canopy. While the male sports a distinct black face mask, the female does not. Interestingly, when it comes to distinguishing between the Greater Green Leafbird and the Lesser Green Leafbird, identifying the females is actually much easier.
这是一个美好的早晨，一小群鸟儿低飞俯冲，为我们提供了绝佳的拍摄机会，其中包括这只十分迷人的雄性叶鹎。
它们鲜艳的翠绿色羽毛在茂密的树冠中形成了极佳的伪装。雄鸟带有显著的黑色面罩，而雌鸟则没有。不过，若要分辨大绿叶鹎与小绿叶鹎，通过观察雌鸟其实更容易进行识别。

update 202607
It’s a rare treat when this bird comes down so low, especially without a fruiting tree nearby to draw it in. This time, luck was on our side and it stayed long enough for some incredible, clear shots!
这种鸟很少会飞到这么低的地方，而且在附近没有果树的情况下还能停下来让我们拍照，但这次偏偏让我们碰上了。我们这次把它看得清清楚楚。

It is hard to believe that we managed to spot our main target within the first hour of our walk into the forest. It was incredibly kind to us, offering a fantastic 10-minute encounter. Although the bird kept moving, making photography quite challenging, it was an amazing experience to watch it walking and displaying, followed later by what we believe to be another male.
真不敢相信，我们走进森林的第一小时就顺利找到了目标鸟种。它对我们非常友好，让我们近距离观察了足足十分钟。尽管它一直在走动，拍照难度很大，但能亲眼目睹它走路以及随后的求偶展示，依然是一次令人惊叹的体验；随后我们还见到了另一只疑似雄性的个体。

This was a truly special tour for us, focusing on a very important target species. After two days of only hearing it without any sighting, we finally had an amazing view—right in front of the four of us, and even calling!
Such a memorable family trip—got all three special bird families: Rail-Babbler, Crested Jayshrike, and Bornean Bristlehead, all with photos too!
这是我们非常重要的一次特别行程，目标是非常特别的一种鸟。前两天只能听到声音，完全看不到，终于让我们在四人面前看到它，还在我们面前鸣叫！
一次难忘的家庭旅程，我们成功看到三种特别鸟类：棘头鵙、冠鸦和白眉长颈鸫，而且都有拍到照片！

Just another moment captured with this beautiful yet shy bird. I’m accustomed to situations where people alter the environment—making it brighter and more open—just for the sake of photos, which can affect the bird’s natural behavior. However, that doesn’t diminish my happiness, especially with my birding buddy back in action after finally deciding to get his 400mm F2.8 following a slowdown in birding. Exciting times ahead, as I have more personal birding trips coming up soon!
又一次捕捉到这只美丽而害羞的鸟儿。
我已经习惯了有人为了拍照而改变环境——让它更明亮、更开阔——从而影响鸟类的自然行为。
但这并不会影响我的快乐，尤其是我的观鸟伙伴终于决定入手 400mm F2.8 镜头，在观鸟节奏放缓后再次回归。
接下来，我也有更多个人观鸟之旅要开启，令人期待！

– 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

– within 24 hours, we got this bird again with much better view this time. All have perfect view of the shy bird..it is really fun to see this bird walk slow infront of us.
– a shy bird always difficult to spot and walk almost close to ground only
– 在24小时内看到这鸟2次。第二次，竟然比第一次更好。非常高兴在我们面前，慢慢的走像模特儿一样。真的很美。
– 一只非常害羞的鸟，通常都在地面山慢慢的走的。幸运啊

– 去年有位朋友的介绍下，他们要求“我”带他们（其中一位）看完最后一只鸟科类。。。他已80岁希望可以看完。。加上某种原因，我决定帮这个忙。等了一年，终于到了。。。很快第一天我们到中午时分，没什么特别可是。都拿下芬氏冠鹎（新鸟种）加蛮多啄木鸟（很低）。。吃完饭后，虽然拿下不少鸟。加上冠鸦（之前他只看到一秒，其他人的新鸟种）。
第二天，早上虽然也不少鸟。可是目标鸟几乎没声音。吃饭时Bill 开始担心，虽然下雨他特别忧心。我也决定还是到森林等。到时还是小雨，决定进去走走。大家带着雨伞，雨衣进去。没很远，大家在看什么什么鹎时。我听到”它“叫了。。。很近。就叫大家后退。。。。没2分钟就看到它在步道旁走了2圈。还过了步道，可是2位朋友没看到 。。。hmmmmmm..我们早到附近一个空荡的第在哪等待。。也没很久“它”尽然上小树桩上脚了好几分钟。天啊。当然大家都笑了。我帮了一位老人完了他的心愿。（他来了这8-9次）
