– 3 years ago, I am testing R3 at Kuala Selangor with this bird flying and managed to have good result. Now, finally the high megapixel R5markii finally also come with good focusing system. The bird dive into pond without any notice and without any fish it flying back to nearby perch. I didnt prepare for any dive shots but managed to get the bird focus almost immediate I point my camera to the bird.

update 202503
It’s a great way to start the month with two sightings of this stunning Borneo endemic Pitta. It wasn’t far, but I stuck with my 500mm lens, avoiding getting closer to disturb it before others had their chance to capture it. Such incredible colors!
这个月以两次目睹这只美丽的婆罗洲特有八色鸫开头，真是太棒了。它并不算太远，但我只用500mm镜头拍摄，而没有靠近打扰它，让其他人先拍到。色彩真是惊艳！

update 202503
It’s a hectic day—I’m traveling from Borneo back to Kuala Lumpur, and within six hours, I have to catch a flight to Indonesia for another exciting trip. Unfortunately, my own mistake made the schedule quite chaotic.
Despite that, it was an incredible photography tour with great luck spotting woodpeckers. One of them even came down close and low, giving us a perfect opportunity for some great shots.
今天真是忙乱的一天——我正从婆罗洲返回吉隆坡，而在六小时内，又要飞往印度尼西亚展开另一场精彩的旅程。不巧的是，我自己的失误让行程变得一团糟。
尽管如此，这次摄影之旅依然令人难忘，我们非常幸运地拍到了很多啄木鸟。其中一只还飞得很近很低，让我们有机会拍下精彩的照片。

update 202509
One of the most common yet stunning birds of Malaysia’s lowland forests. While it’s not frequently seen at RDC, we were lucky to have a few individuals feeding just a few meters away. The lovely female gave us a longer and closer view than the male — a real treat!
这是马来西亚低地雨林中非常常见又美丽的鸟类之一。虽然在RDC并不算常见，但我们很幸运地遇到几只在几米外进食。这只漂亮的雌鸟比雄鸟停留得更久也更靠近，真是一次难得的体验！

The special target tour has finally come to an end. Unfortunately, for the first time ever, we missed 2 out of our 3 main targets — a tough pill to swallow. It’s my first time missing them during this special tour. But on the brighter side, we still did very well with many other species, including this beautiful pitta that gave us a great view and photo opportunity.
这次的特别目标鸟之旅终于结束了。可惜的是，这是我第一次错过了三大目标鸟中的两种，对我来说也是第一次错过它们，确实有点遗憾。但整体来说我们还是收获满满，看到许多其他精彩的鸟种，包括这只漂亮的八色鸫，给了我们绝佳的观赏和拍摄机会。
