这是这一地区最常见的绿鸽之一,中等体型,浅绿色粗眼圈非常显眼,不容易错过。

While we were waiting for the pitta to come down—yes, it had been staying up in the treetops all day—we got a surprise visitor! Out of nowhere, this bird walked into view and gave us a chance for a record shot.

我们原本在等八色鸫下来,整天它都待在树顶。没想到突然这只鸟走了出来,给了我们一个拍记录照的好机会,真是个惊喜!

Small and stunning—another beautiful fruit-dove!
In all my previous visits, we only had brief glimpses, often high up and far away. But this time, it came down low and stayed with us for a good while. What a treat!

又一只小巧又漂亮的绿鸠!
之前几次来,这种鸟都是在高高的树上,只能短暂看到。

It’s a very common species here, though it looks quite different from the ones we see in Malaysia. Usually, it stays high and far, but this time we were lucky—it perched at a reasonable distance, at eye level, and under beautiful lighting. A truly lovely bird!

这是当地非常常见的鸟种,不过外形跟我们在马来西亚看到的有些不同。它平时总是停得又高又远,这次终于给了我们一个合理距离、平视角度,加上漂亮的光线。真是一只可爱的鸟!

This bird can be heard calling everywhere, but getting a clear view is always a bit of a challenge. Thankfully, we were lucky—one showed up in the open, allowing us to get some great shots. Moments like this remind me that bird photography is still very rewarding.

这只鸟到处都能听到叫声,但要看清楚总是需要多一点运气和努力。幸运的是,我们遇到一只完全现身在我们面前,让我们拍到了一些漂亮的照片。这样的时刻让我觉得,鸟类摄影依然值得坚持。

101. Sri Lanka Wood-Pigeon, 紫头林鸽, 紫头林鸽, Columba torringtoniae, セイロンカノコモリバト

Large, plain gray pigeon with conspicuous black-and-white stripes on the nape. Underparts flushed mauve. Inhabits upper levels of forests and densely wooded areas in the hills and mountains, where occurs in pairs or small flocks. Combination of black-and-white neck markings and plain, unmarked, dark gray upperparts identifies this species from all other pigeons on Sri Lanka. Vocalizations include a single, deep “wooo”, and also an owl-like, double note “woo-oo”. [EBird]

update 202601

After 18 unforgettable days in Kenya, I’m finally back in Malaysia. This birding trip truly opened my eyes—aside from Sri Lanka, Kenya has become one of my favorite places. Even without any feeding stations, birds were easy to find and photograph. On just Day 1, we photographed 98 species! By the end of the tour, the group had recorded 414 species—and I got about 10 more during solo walks in free time. I’ll definitely return, though 2026/2027 is already fully booked… and I’m too tired to think about 2028 now. Time to relax. More photos coming soon!

It’s not a lifer, but this time we had several close encounters with this seemingly common bird. The two distinct spots on its wings stood out beautifully, especially when the light hit just right. Moments like this remind us how stunning even familiar species can be.

在肯尼亚度过了18天难忘的观鸟之旅,我终于回到马来西亚了。这次旅程真的让我大开眼界,除了斯里兰卡之外,肯尼亚已经成为我最喜欢的观鸟地点之一。
即使没有喂食点,也能轻松看到并拍到各种鸟类。我们第一天就拍到了98种鸟!
整趟行程结束时,团队成员一共拍到了414种鸟(我在休息时独自走动时又多拍了10种)。
我肯定还会再回来,只是可惜2026和2027的行程已经排满……
现在真的累了,2028的计划暂时不想动了,先休息一下,接下来会陆续分享更多照片!

虽然不是新种,但这次多次近距离观察到这只看起来普通的鸟,翅膀上那两个特别的斑点在阳光下显得格外漂亮。
这样的时刻让我们再次感受到,就算是常见的鸟种,也有它惊艳的一面。

Cuculidae series: Malkoha | 杜鹃科: 地鹃 | liewwk Nature – 6-5 [update 20260321]

Malkohas are large birds in the cuckoo family Cuculidae, all in the genus Phaenicophaeus. The group name is derived from the Sinhala word for the Red-faced Malkoha; Mal-Koha meaning flower-cuckoo. These are all Asian tropical species. The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greek phoiniko- “crimson”, and phaes “eyes” or “face”,[1] referring to the Red-faced Malkoha. However, the ‘œ’ was mistranscribed as ‘æ’

Update 202505

We spent our morning at the canopy, enjoying many great views of different birds. One was especially memorable—at eye level, feeding slowly instead of just flying past. A lovely Malkoha.

我们早上在树顶吊桥观鸟,欣赏到了许多不同鸟类的美丽景色。其中一只尤其令人难忘——它在视线平齐的高度慢慢觅食,而不是像其他鸟一样飞掠而过。一只可爱的鹃鵙。

A fairly common coucal found in South Africa, which I’ve seen and photographed multiple times in various locations. However, this was a closer encounter, and I managed to capture a full series of flight shots. The distinctive tail band markings are clearly visible, making it easy to differentiate this species from others.

一种在南非相当常见的郭公鸟,我曾多次在不同地点看到并拍摄过。然而,这次距离更近,我成功捕捉到了一整组飞行照片。显眼的尾部条纹清晰可见,使其与其他物种容易区分开来。

201. Yellow-billed Malkoha, 苏拉黄嘴地鹃, 蘇拉黃嘴地鵑, Rhamphococcyx calyorhynchus, セレベスバンケンモドキ, Kadalan Sulawesi

A large, thick-billed malkoha, endemic to Sulawesi, where the only Malkoha. Rufous top half and dark bottom half give it the appearance of having been dipped in black paint, which together with long tail and thick red and yellow bill give it an unmistakeable appearance. Found in wooded habitats from the lowlands to the mountains. Follows macaques catching flushed insects. Call, a very distinctive series of sharp, grating notes, that rise, then fall, whilst accelerating and fading at the end. [Ebird]

一种体型较大、喙厚的鹃鵙,仅分布于苏拉威西,也是该地区唯一的鹃鵙。其上半身呈赤褐色,下半身为深色,看起来仿佛被浸入黑色油漆中,再加上长尾巴和粗壮的红黄色喙,使其外形独特且易于辨认。主要栖息于低地至高山的森林环境中,经常跟随猕猴捕捉因猴子惊飞的昆虫。叫声是一串极具辨识度的尖锐、刺耳音符,先升后降,最后逐渐加快并消失。

update 202501

This large and beautiful bird is a common endemic of Sulawesi, but it’s always a pleasure to photograph. I was very fortunate to capture it in flight!

Still figuring out where to go for a few days in April 2025—anyone up for a quick Sulawesi trip?

这种体型大而美丽的鸟是苏拉威西的常见特有种,但拍摄它依然是一种享受。我很幸运能捕捉到它的飞行瞬间!

2025年4月还有几天行程待定,有人想来一趟苏拉威西短途旅行吗?

501. Lesser Ground-Cuckoo, 小地鹃, 小地鵑, Morococcyx erythropygus, チビミチバシリ

update 202603

Day 5 of our Costa Rica birding expedition and we have already photographed 151 species. We have encountered so many incredible birds, including this remarkable, secretive Lesser Ground-Cuckoo. Its behavior reminds me of the other two species I have photographed; it calls and then moves like a ghost—approaching silently, but jumping into the trees to call again once it is alert. What an amazing day and a stunning bird. I am so grateful to our local guide for their expertise and for giving us a second chance to track down this bird.

这是我们哥斯达黎加观鸟之旅的第5天,目前已经拍摄到了151种鸟类。我们见到了许多优秀的鸟种,其中包括这只令人惊叹且行踪隐秘的小地鹃。它的行为和我之前拍摄过的另外两种地鹃很像,发出鸣叫后便如同幽灵般悄无声息地靠近,但在警觉时会跳上树枝再次鸣叫。真是精彩的一天,感谢我们的当地向导对我们的信任,并给了我们第二次机会去寻找这只美丽的鸟。

3. Scarlet-rumped Trogon, 红腰咬鹃, 紅腰咬鵑, Harpactes duvaucelii, コシアカキヌバネドリ, KESUMBA KECIL PINGGUL MERAH

– small size, common at lowland forest

– Red-Black-Brown back with red rumped for the male, female lack of RED with pink instead

– sometime confuse with Cinnamon-rumped Trogon but different by call, “rumped” color, behaviour, and female obvious face different

update 202412

This marks my final bird of the 2024 tours after a hectic year. Before another busy year kicks off on January 1, I’ll take a few days to rest. Capturing birds in flight within a forest is no easy feat, especially with a lens that has such a small aperture. However, the CANON R1 made it surprisingly manageable, even though the image quality is somewhat compromised at ISO 51200. Nonetheless, I truly enjoyed watching how the camera’s autofocus tracked the bird in the forest.

这是我 2024 年拍的最后一只鸟,结束了忙碌的一年。在新的一年从 1 月 1 日开始之前,我会休息几天。在森林里抓拍飞行的鸟并不容易,尤其是用这样小光圈的镜头。不过,CANON R1 让这变得相对轻松,尽管在 ISO 51200 下画质有所下降。不管怎样,我还是很享受看到相机的自动对焦如何在森林里追踪鸟儿的过程。

I still remember that quiet, hot afternoon. Despite spotting this bird, the guests showed little excitement due to the humidity. Everyone had a good view, and I took the opportunity to move to the back for a great photo session with this rare trogon.

我仍然记得那个安静而炎热的下午。尽管看到了这只鸟,但由于湿热,客人们没表现出多少兴奋。大家都看得很清楚,我则抓住机会走到后面,为这只罕见的咬鹃拍了一组精彩的照片。

– 非常炎热的下午。还好,蛮多啄木鸟。。但我们要去凉快等鸟前,尽然被我看到“红点”在蛮低的位置。本身还以为看到榴红八色鸫,当我用上双筒看是。。我大叫。橙腰!。。。可是是鸟的前面,我们还是希望有机会100%是橙腰(怕是红腰。。很暗)当我们追他大概5-10分钟,他停了2次终于让我们看北部+叫了!大家都高兴。。。

update 202307

– very lucky morning, we decided to have a walk after got the main target of the “Rail-Babbler tour”. I heard a weird call, and saw something orange fly low, first bird I guess is Cinnamon-Rumped Trogon. But the call the bird consistent  make is different from the ordinary call. But a bird just fly infront of us ~10feet away. Bingo.. it is the star bird. This bird very tame compare to other , stay calm, close and allow us move and get close to have some good photos.

– I am sure this is top3 bird of 202307

– 非常幸运的一天。主要目标拿下后,这团其实是4天找白眉长颈鸫,可是在昨天(第一天)已拿下。今天我们一位轻轻松松的看看鸟。可是,在一天步道上。我听到可疑叫声+见到橙色鸟飞低。我就猜是这鸟,不久这鸟就飞来我们10尺前。可是都不是很好拍照。可是,他太给力了。飞来飞去近的,低的还让我们走近拍照。

– 绝对是202307 最好鸟照片之一。

– male with black on head , chest, female with brown

update 202506

It’s nearly impossible to miss this bird at RDC, Sepilok, Sabah—it’s usually very common. On our last trip, it was a bit shy, but this time it was back to its usual self, coming really close. This shot was taken at around 400mm on a full-frame camera. From up close, it’s easy to see why its Chinese name translates to “Purple Crown.”

在沙巴山打根的雨林探索中心(RDC),几乎不可能错过这只鸟,它通常非常常见。上一次行程中它有些害羞,但这次又恢复了平时的状态,靠得非常近。这张照片是用全画幅相机约400mm焦距拍摄的。从近距离看,就能明白为什么它的中文名叫“紫冠”。

update 202405

– another humid and hot afternoon, we missed all the trogon in the morning. But lucky to have this even so hot so close and stay for scope view.

update 202310

– always a beautiful bird to be seen, lovely and big bird.

– this is a picture captured with CANON RF100500 with 1.4x TC which gave us very good image quality with 140mm – 700mm with 700mm at F10. I use it quite often .. for birding, it is always need longer focal length. with the new CANON RF200-800 even it is F9 at the longer side. But with the new camera better ISO performance and new denoise software. the light weight 800mm definite one of the best option for birding … I am waiting …. lets see when I have it on hand
now, the 800mm at F9, longer focal length with “smaller” aperture and overall smaller size, lighter… so what’s the reason to complaint ?

– 佳能过去几年,轻便的长焦镜头一直被看低就因为一个500mm (短),F7.1 (慢) 可是很多不知道或不接受。F6.3-F7.1 就1/3 stop .. 真的这么大分别?可是有想过重量? 1.4kg 是多么的适合我们一天8-12小时在外面的鸟人。可是,这个500 就,真的有点短。我也很经常用上1.4x ,就可以有700mm 可是就上到F10. 可是画质我还是觉得,非常的好。现在,佳能终于出了支200-800 为了重量体型,他们应该不得放到F6.3-F9 ..可是还在2KG 。还是重,可是想想800mm F9 长了,光圈也比之前100500+ 1.4 大了。价格也低下来了。之前其他牌子也是把它换到“白”然后也不是最高级别的镜头才把价格拉低。这也应该大概一样的道理。只是我本身还是希望,有基本防尘,雨功能。等等200800 的到来吧。

2025 has been so hectic that I didn’t even get a chance to visit this place—I really miss both the location and its birds. This stunning endemic trogon from Sumatra remains one of the most beautiful I’ve seen in Indonesia.

2025年实在太忙了,连这地方都没时间去一趟。我真的很想念这里和那里的鸟。这只来自印尼苏门答腊岛的特有咬鹃,依然是我见过最美丽的咬鹃之一。

update 202411

– On the last day of the trip, the bird came incredibly close and low, but the heavy mist made it difficult to capture a clear shot. I attempted to photograph it in flight and managed to get a few shots, though the image quality suffered due to the mist and low light conditions.

旅程的最后一天,鸟飞得非常近且低,但浓雾使得拍摄清晰照片变得困难。我尝试拍摄一些飞行的画面,虽然拍到了几张,但由于雾气和低光条件,画质并不理想。

– 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.

– Like other Trogons, it feeds incredibly quickly, finishing its meal in mere seconds.

– 前往印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛的主要原因之一就是欣赏这里令人惊叹的这一只特有物种。我必须说,当你通过双筒望远镜或相机镜头观察这只鸟时,它的美丽会让你叹为观止。

和其他咬鹃一样,它进食速度非常快,几秒钟就吃完了。很不容易捕捉到它吃东西的一幕。

– 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.

在我们为期6天的摄影之旅中,多次遇到这只鸟。在最后一个傍晚,尽管天气有些雾蒙蒙,我们仍幸运地看到它在飞翔觅食。这是一个绝佳的机会来捕捉它飞行中的画面(BIF)。全新的佳能R1让在丛林中拍摄飞行中的鸟变得更加轻松。

It’s an incredibly striking bird, with colors that might seem mismatched but come together beautifully in a single species. Truly stunning, and it’s fairly common in Sumatra’s sub-montane and montane regions.

Returning to the Center-East for a bird photography group, we were fortunate to spot this bird on the very first morning. A stunning male appeared, displaying a vibrant array of colors on its back.

– 这是一种非常引人注目的鸟,颜色看起来似乎不太协调,但却完美地融合在一只鸟身上。非常惊艳,而且在苏门答腊的中海拔和高海拔相当常见。

再次来到中东部参加观鸟摄影团,我们很幸运在第一天早上就发现了这只鸟。一只漂亮的雄鸟出现了,展示出它背部丰富多彩的羽毛。

– 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)

– another Christmas spend with my best guest, buddy .. this time choose have special target tour to Sumatra. 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。

还好这一只这么漂亮的鸟竟然在我们喝热茶等鸟时,竟然自己飞过来。上帝很厉害配颜色。

501. Narina Trogon, 绿颊咬鹃, 綠頰咬鵑, Apaloderma narina, アフリカキヌバネドリ

A spectacular, mostly iridescent-metallic-green bird, with a scarlet belly, broad yellow bill, and white under tail. The face and throat of the male are green, while the females’ are dirty gray-brown. It sits upright and still in the canopy of riverine and lowland forest, watching for insect prey, then flying fast and directly to catch it. During the breeding season, its soft, deep, throaty “huooo-huooo” call makes it much easier to find. The similar Bare-cheeked Trogon differs by having a face with a large bare yellow skin patches that extend from cheek to bill–not small blue-green spots. Bar-tailed Trogon has a heavily-barred undertail and prefers montane forest above 900 m. [EBird]

一种极具观赏性的鸟类,整体呈金属绿色光泽,腹部鲜红,嘴喙宽大呈黄色,尾下覆羽为白色。雄鸟的脸部和喉部为绿色,而雌鸟则为污灰褐色。

它通常直立不动地栖息在河岸林和低地森林的树冠层,警惕地观察昆虫猎物,然后迅速直线飞行捕捉猎物。在繁殖季节,它柔和而低沉的喉音“huooo-huooo”使其更容易被发现。

与其相似的裸颊咬鹃(Bare-cheeked Trogon)不同之处在于,其脸部有大块裸露的黄色皮肤,从脸颊延伸到嘴喙,而不是小型蓝绿色斑点。斑尾咬鹃(Bar-tailed Trogon)则具有明显的横斑尾下覆羽,并且更偏好海拔 900 米以上的高山森林。

The only possible trogon for our South Africa trip, we spotted it just once—and in heavy rain! Despite the downpour, it kept flying around, and we were lucky to see it perch for a while, giving us a great view. Its metallic green and red plumage is truly stunning.

这是我们南非之行唯一可能遇见的咬鹃,我们仅在一次机会中看到它——而且还是在大雨中!尽管大雨滂沱,它仍不停飞翔,幸运的是,它停歇了一会儿,让我们得以好好欣赏。它那金属绿色搭配红色的羽毛,实在是太美了。

This was another primary target of our tour. We successfully located the bird on our first attempt in the evening, securing fantastic views and photos. Despite the initial success, the group wanted to visit a second site, which provided even better photographic opportunities for this spectacular species. With 8 days remaining, our photo count has reached 308 species, with many more to come.

这是本次行程的另一个主要目标。傍晚时分,我们第一次尝试就成功发现了它,并获得了极佳的观察视角和照片。但大家还是想去第二个地点看看,在那里我们为这种长相惊艳的鸟拍摄到了更完美的照片。行程还剩8天,目前我们已经拍摄到了308种鸟类,精彩仍在继续。

We photographed seven species of trogons at eye level and at close range during our birding trip in Costa Rica. It was truly incredible how each individual bird approached us and stayed long enough for everyone to get a great look. This particular bird was one of three trogons we captured in a single morning, making for a fantastic second day of our trip.
我们在哥斯达黎加观鸟之旅中,近距离且平视地拍摄到了七种咬鹃。令人惊叹的是,每一只鸟都离我们非常近,并且停留了很久,让每个人都能尽情欣赏。这张照片中的咬鹃是我们仅在一个上午就拍摄到的三种咬鹃之一,这让我们在那里的第二天观鸟行程变得非常精彩。

after 2 nights spending over here , we travel ~3.5 hours to Mount Bromo. another 2 “cold” days we had on the Lava View resort which give us beautiful 2 sunrise, nightsky but no luck for sunset …….. this place like other share a very beautiful volcano … we climb up for 2 viewpoint which I will share the view soon here (by update)…
