It was our arrival day, and while waiting for our main target, we were treated to an amazing scene—about 15 of them feeding together in the same open area. Some even started fighting, adding plenty of action. Under the bright sunshine, they looked absolutely beautiful.

这是我们抵达的第一天,在等待目标鸟种的时候,意外看到大约15只在同一片开阔地觅食,还有几只互相争斗,场面相当精彩。在灿烂的阳光下,这真是一种非常美丽的鸟。

9. Blue-naped Pitta, 蓝枕八色鸫, 藍枕八色鳥, Hydrornis nipalensis, アオエリヤイロチョウ

update 202601

It was a very short trip to Northern Thailand, but this bird was extremely active.

I was lucky to see both the male and female at very close range, right next to the hide owner’s house.

The blue on the nape looks so different—bright, vivid, and incredibly attractive.

An amazing bird.

这次只是一次很短的泰国北部行程,但这只鸟非常活跃。

很幸运能在很近的距离同时看到雄鸟和雌鸟,就在拍摄棚主人的房子旁边。

后颈上的“蓝色”看起来非常不一样,鲜艳又吸引人。

真是一只令人惊艳的鸟。

10. Crested Kingfisher, 冠鱼狗, Megaceryle lugubris, ヤマセミ

update 202602

We spent our last morning at the same spot and decided to just have some fun with this lovely kingfisher — lots of laughter and great moments. The whole morning was covered in mist, so quite a bit of post-processing was needed to reduce the noise and haze. The bird dived around five times without any success, but this rather unskilled fisherman still gave us plenty of action and a fun session capturing BIF shots.

我们把最后一个早晨留在同一个地点,决定和这只可爱的翠鸟好好玩一玩,一整早充满了笑声和乐趣。清晨雾气很重,后期需要花不少功夫来降低噪点、去除雾气。它大约俯冲了五次都没有成功,但这位“捕鱼技术不太熟练”的家伙,还是让我们玩得很开心,也拍到了不少精彩的飞版照片。

A short birding trip to northern Thailand turned into a pleasant surprise. After securing our two main targets, we decided to keep birding and see what else we could find. We knew a Crested Kingfisher was around, but the local ranger and guide kept telling us this species is usually only active in the morning.

Still, we decided to try our luck and reached the site at noon. After a few minutes of chatting by the river, a large bird suddenly flew in and perched right in front of us. We all shouted, “Kingfisher!”

The beautiful Crested Kingfisher perched not far away and even fed on a fish, putting on a fantastic show and giving us a great chance for photos. Sadly, I missed the actual fish-catching moment—I couldn’t decide which direction to wait, and just as I was moving, it dived!

一次短暂的泰国北部观鸟之旅,竟带来了惊喜。在顺利找到两大目标鸟种后,我们决定继续尝试看看还能遇到什么鸟。我们知道附近有冠鱼狗,但当地护林员和向导一直告诉我们,这种鸟通常只在早上出现。

尽管如此,我们还是决定中午去碰碰运气。到达河边后,聊了几分钟,突然一只体型很大的鸟飞来,直接停在我们面前。我们立刻喊了出来:“鱼狗!”

这只美丽的冠鱼狗停得并不远,还叼着一条鱼进食,精彩地展示了一番,让我们有很好的拍摄机会。可惜的是,我没拍到它捕鱼的瞬间——正犹豫该等哪个方向时,我一边走,它就突然俯冲下水了!

11. Black-backed Forktail, 黑背燕尾, 黑背燕尾, Enicurus immaculatus, セグロエンビシキチョウ

update 202602

“Short North-Thailand trip goals achieved! 😊 On our river adventure, our guide asked if we wanted to spot the elusive Black-backed Forktail. I said why not? 🤔 What followed was pure patience-testing magic! 🙄 We waited on a rock, and with some playback, the bird kept coming back for more… giving us an epic photo op 📸. Not sure who got the perfect shot, but I’m pretty sure C got it and the others got zilch 😂👍.”

“非常短暂北泰国之行的目标达成了!😊 在河边冒险时,我们的导游问我们是否想看看罕见的黑背燕尾。我说为什么不呢? 🤔 接下来就是纯粹的考验耐心的时刻!🙄 我们在岩石上等待了一会儿,播放了一些鸟叫声后,鸟儿不断飞回来,让我们拍到了绝佳的照片 📸。不知道谁拍到了完美的一刻,但我肯定C拍到了,而其他人则是零收获 👍。”

– a bird that normally active, moving fast and high on tree trunk… as usual this is fast and active … but we saw it just ~5-7 feet from use .. a great view of this bird ..

– 通常这活跃的小鸟终是在树身上移动很快。如常还是很快,可是这次很近(5-7尺)。还是近距离看鸟爽。

update 202510

This marks my final Malaysia tour for 2025, and once again, it came with its own unique challenges—just like 3 out of my last 4 tours.

This time, the guest had limited mobility, making it difficult to walk or even adjust position to look for our main targets. Despite that, luck was on our side. While simply sitting in a chair, this beautiful bird came in close and gave us a wonderful photo opportunity!

这是我2025年最后一个马来西亚行程了,又是一个充满挑战的旅程——最近4个行程中有3个都遇到不同的挑战。

这次的客人行动不便,几乎无法走动,甚至连转身调整拍摄角度都很困难,靠走路寻找目标鸟也几乎不可能。幸运的是,运气站在我们这边——就在他坐在椅子上时,这只美丽的鸟儿竟然靠近我们,给了我们一次精彩的拍摄机会!

update 202406

– a good season for this beautiful bird ? when we having ours Canon-Gitzo Photography sharing session, we saw this 2 days in the row and actually heard it more than twice while we have quite limited time for the birding.

– an active & beautiful bird that not that rare but just need some luck to see it.

– 非常活跃,漂亮的小鸟。不稀有,因为小活跃。也是属于群体活动(与其他鸟)遇上这鸟需要点运气。

– 在我们2天1夜佳能+捷信摄影分享营。见到2次+听到4-5次。可能季节到了?

update 202303

– a tour with some main target birds, Blue Nuthatch is one of the main target. After 2 days trying, finally had a good look at 3 birds.

– 这一团有些指定目标鸟。这蓝䴓是最重要之一。幸好,在福隆港第2天终于看到这么漂亮的小鸟。

202304, Pahang, Malaysia

update 20221030

– a lucky morning, due to some reason. Guests decided fly back to home before tour end. But lucky morning before any rain, humid. got This beautiful bird, Lesser Yellownape, Bay Woodpecker and others just not far after we drive.

– as usual fast moving bird but with the new AI AF, most the frame lock focus on the head/eye of this tiny and fast bird.

– 幸运的一个早上。客人因私人原因需要提早飞回澳洲。可是,上天还是让他们见到这特别的鸟。

– 一样小而快的小鸟。幸好新的佳能对焦能力大部分都是对焦到头部/眼部

This bird was surprisingly tame at Potatso National Park. It even hopped along the boardwalk like a little tour guide leading us on our walk. Many of them were feeding in the trees too, and honestly, I much prefer this pose compared to the ones “walking” on the boardwalk.

在普达措国家公园,这种鸟对人非常友善。它甚至在栈道上跳来跳去,像个小导游一样带着我们走。不过也有很多在树上觅食的,说实话,我更喜欢这种姿态,而不是在栈道上“散步”的样子。
