This is one of those birds that can easily be overlooked, even though it’s quite easy to spot along the Kinabatangan River. But if you take a moment to look closely, it’s truly a beautiful bird.
这是一种很容易被忽略的鸟，虽然在京那巴当岸河很容易看到。但如果你认真看，它其实非常漂亮。

– another bird that we always looking while we on Kinabatangan River, it is a big bird that always perch near river bank.
– it is rare opportunity, it stand low and close to us .. and really good to see it face to face angle
– 在京河我们都会尽量找着你一只极度濒危的鸟。可是在这，不难见到。在河边通常可以见到他们站高高。
– 容易见到，可是不容易拍到。这次，运气站在我们这。真很低+近啊。

– a Photography trip at here, lucky us to have this bird stay low and long with weird hairstyle even quite a lot of rain…
– A dark-brown stork with green-bronze iridescence on the wings and breast. It has a distinctive white ruffled neck, a white tail, and a dark salmon-tipped bill. Resident and migrant. Individuals and small groups forage in rivers, shallow wetland margins, urban grassy areas, and flooded grasslands for insects and small vertebrates. May gather in groups of several hundred when conditions are suitable. (EBird)
– while I am keeping my eye to flying pacific swift and saw this big bird flying high
– 当我在测试R6拍飞的燕子时，看到这较大的鸟飞的很高。

– what a surprise when going through my hardisk (202104) when I was there for some waders. I still remember why the Lesser Adjutant flying so high up and actually it is not Adjutant.
– 非常惊讶，在清理影碟照片时。发现这稀有候鸟。当时，我还在想为什么小秃鹳飞的这么高。

– when we first saw it, we ask the van to stop … and make the right decision. It is best view after this for the next 7-8 days
A tall, lanky, black-and-white stork with a unique red, yellow, and black bill. The male has dark-brown eyes, and the female has yellow eyes. In flight, the bird’s massive size, and the dark bands in the center of the white wings are diagnostic. Scarce but conspicuous; mostly resident but can be partially nomadic in parts of the range. Found singly or in pairs at rivers and large undisturbed wetlands, foraging for favorites like catfish, but it will also take frogs, birds, and insects. [Ebird]
It is one of the birds everyone of us dreams of seeing and photographing, with its beak’s vibrant colors being absolutely stunning. We were fortunate to observe it up close, offering great views and excellent photo opportunities.

As usual, this large and conspicuous stork stands out. It is commonly found in both urban areas and forests. Watching it slowly walk across the golf course provided us with a great photo opportunity.
It’s such a unique bird—many might call it ugly, but I don’t think any birder would agree. To me, it’s a beautiful creature, full of fascinating details.
I am trying the setup for weeks, and I want to try some not quite fast moving bird with the “High resolution” mode which blend 8 RAW to single which make 80 MP image(raw)
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
1. AF accuracy
2. AF performance
3. can both Len and Body Image Stabilizer work together as Panasonic Len ?
if all above work well, than I would prefer to use my G9 on my Canon EF500mm F4 IS2 ….
1. pre-burst mode for G9
2. Dual IS – IBIS and Len IS
3. internal 4k , 30fps 10bit log (and future I can get GH5 for more)
4. 180fps slow motion
etc
so TEST1 – AF performance
I try both 500mm (outdoor), 1635F4IS (indoor)
BOTH give me very fast AF .. and very accurate (no fine tune done on my adapter). the new eye AF work fine with human , but not really work on big bird (buffy Fish Owl) and small bird .
TEST1 (click the picture for actual size view)
