– medium size tern, non-breeding plumage sometimes confuse with Whiskered Tern. Obvious “headset” on head 

update 202110

– lucky to see many of them feeding on paddy field, with new Canon EOS R3. It is so easy to photograph tern flying over various backgroup (especially green background which previously most the camera facing lost focus when bird sudden flying to green background. R3 think solve the problem even I still have 10-20% focus the wing instead bird head/eye .. but this could due to the wing flip block the bird head/eye so the camera just focus to the wing. Somehow it is much better than focus to the background instead the bird.

– 幸运的看到一大群鸟在找吃。终于不怕绿背景了。在之前的相机都有走焦问题(当背景突然变绿)。新的佳能 R3,几乎把这个问题减低到最少。(10-20%还是会跑到鸟的翅膀,也有可能是因为翅膀的动作遮挡了鸟眼所以对焦到鸟的翅膀而不是眼睛。可是已比对焦到背景好多了)

update 202601

This was a family holiday, so there wasn’t much birding planned. Still, I carried a wide-angle lens and the RF 100–500mm with me. In winter, there are plenty of gulls around, especially near the lake. One morning, I came across a group of gulls feeding very close by. I spent a few quick moments capturing this beautiful bird at close range.

这是一次家庭假期,并没有安排太多观鸟活动,但我还是随身带着广角镜头和 RF 100–500。冬季时,湖区附近有不少海鸥活动。一天早上,我遇到一群正在近距离觅食的海鸥,便抓紧时间,快速拍下了这只美丽的鸟。

102. Brown-headed Gull, 棕头鸥, 棕頭鷗, Chroicocephalus brunnicephalus, チャガシラカモメ

update 202602

The weather today is exceptional. The deep blue of the sky is reflecting perfectly on the lake, creating a beautiful color contrast with this immature Brown-headed Gull. However, it is disappointing to see so many people feeding the birds various kinds of human food. While people likely have good intentions, but feeding with wrong food can be affect the bird health
今天天气极好。湛蓝的天空倒映在湖面上,与这只棕头鸥幼鸟形成了极美的色彩对比。然而,令人遗憾的是,现场有很多人在用各种人类食物投喂鸟类。虽然大家的出发点可能是好的,但喂它们人类食物可能会危害它们的健康。

130million years rainforest .. “Belum-Temenggor” Hornbill Tour 2020

A yearly event, we have our yearly Hornbill Expedition trip to Belum-Temengor even the Covid-19 lock down but we make it short instead, where we just spend 1.5 days boat ride and 2 morning at Titiwangsa Rest area (which is ~30km from Belum jetty).

This forest believe to be older than 130 million years, due to the lake crossing the main forest make it an open area for hornbill seeing good spot … it is always to better chance to spot all 10 hornbills of Malaysia here within few days of birding trip.

As usual, our main target is Plain-pouched hornbill which believe peak season Aug-Sept every year.. easily spot them in big flocks flying on skyline here.

Sometime, birding here can be depressing, birds can be far !!!! not even able to ID without photo record as only using binocular ….

1. Rufous-bellied Swallow, 棕腹燕, Cecropis badia, マラヤコイシアカツバメ, LAYANG-LAYANG API BIASA

– most beautiful swallow of Malaysia

rightly-colored swallow found on the Malay Peninsula. Dark iridescent blue above with rusty-orange underparts, rump, and face. Similar to migratory tytleri subspecies of Barn Swallow but lacks its dark blue collar and whitetail patches. Like many other swallows, flies over a range of different habitats, from fields to forests; usually in hilly areas.

– after raining for 14 hours, we just can;t just sit in the hotel. decided driving around and saw few of this bird flying around. customer holding umbrella to see the bird, and I carrying CANONR R3 & RF100500 shooting under quite a heavy rain. lowlight, heavy rain managed to make few pictures.

– 雨一直得下。14多个小时,我们觉得太不可思议了。就驾车兜兜看有什么地方小雨店还是什么鸟让我们看看。在开阔的一个草场,看到几只燕在飞。客人拿着雨伞看,我拿了佳能R3+RF100500 拍几张。暗暗+大雨拍了几张可以看看的。真的希望,雨小点我可以拍多点。

It was a beautiful evening by the river, with swifts and swallows flying low to feed and drink.

We tried capturing the action and were lucky to get a nice series of shots—here’s one of a swallow drinking mid-flight.

傍晚在河边真是美好时光,燕子和雨燕在河面上飞来飞去觅食和喝水。

我们试着拍下这一幕,幸运地捕捉到一些精彩画面,这张就是其中一张——燕子边飞边喝水。

51. Eastern Red-rumped Swallow, 金腰燕, 赤腰燕, Cecropis daurica, コシアカツバメ, LAYANG-LAYANG API BIASA, Burung Layang-Layang Api

update 202512

This is a common bird in Lombok, but it used to be quite a challenge to capture with DSLR back in the day. Now, with improved gear, it’s almost as easy as 1-2-3!

Distinct features: streaked throat and chest, plus a bright orange rump—such a striking little bird!

这是龙目岛的常见鸟种,但在早期用单反相机拍摄时其实并不容易。如今器材升级,拍起来就像 1-2-3 一样简单了!

明显特征:喉部和胸部有条纹,还有亮眼的橙色臀部——非常吸睛的一只小鸟!
