– 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。

51. Himalayan Shortwing, 喜山短翅鸫, 喜山短翅鶇, Brachypteryx cruralis, ヒマラヤコバネヒタキ

Tiny, stumpy bird of dense undergrowth. Male is dark slate-blue with broad white eyebrows that give him the appearance of a furious little old man. Female is warm pale brown all over. In areas of overlap with Chinese and Lesser Shortwings, look out for the all-dark lower belly, which is white in those species. Inhabits hill and montane forest, where it forages in dense undergrowth, frequently in proximity to streams. Song is composed of high thin whistles with short bursts of clicking chattering mixed in.

矮小、圆胖的小鸟，常见于茂密的林下灌丛。雄鸟为深蓝灰色，带有宽阔的白色眉线，使其看起来像一位愤怒的小老头。雌鸟则呈温暖的浅棕色。在与中华短翅和小短翅分布重叠的地区，可以通过其全黑的下腹部（而其他两种为白色）进行区分。栖息于丘陵和山地森林中，常在密集的灌丛中觅食，通常靠近溪流。鸣声由高音的细哨音组成，并混有短促的点击和叽喳声。

While everyone was focused on a few main target birds, one of our buddies, who could be considered a new birder, suddenly shouted, “Shortwing!” He was so proud of himself for identifying a bird on his own. Honestly, I think he should be even happier if he managed to spot a rare bird feeding instead!

当大家都专注于几种主要目标鸟时，我们的一位朋友（可以算是新手观鸟者）突然大喊：“短翅鸫！” 他为自己能独立认出一只鸟感到非常自豪。老实说，我觉得如果他发现+认出鸟种，他应该会比在喂食店拍到稀有鸟种更加高兴！
