– This small bird, commonly heard at Fraser’s Hill, Cameron Highlands, Sumatra’s Kerinci, and Genting Highlands, is often challenging to spot or photograph despite its frequent calls. However, at specific feeding spots, it tends to become tame and reliably appears when humans approach, displaying behavior similar to the Pygmy Cupwing. Notably, it often moves with its wings raised, making its behavior quite distinctive.

– With the new Canon R1’s Continuous Pre-recording feature, every time the bird perches, I half-press the shutter to keep it in focus. As soon as the bird moves or raises its wings, I fully press the shutter, capturing everything that occurred 0.5 seconds prior. This ensures I never miss the perfect moment.

– 这种小鸟常见于福隆港、高原金马仑、苏门答腊克林芝和云顶高原，叫声非常常听见，但却不容易看到或拍到。尽管如此，在某些喂食点，这种鸟会变得非常驯服，只要有人接近就会出现。它的行为与小鸫莺相似，尤其是移动时常常保持翅膀上扬，非常有特色。

– 借助全新的佳能R1连续预录功能，每当小鸟停留时，我会半按快门以保持对焦。只要小鸟开始移动或抬起翅膀，我便全按快门，将前0.5秒发生的所有画面记录到存储卡中，确保不错过任何精彩瞬间。
