update 20221030

– a lucky morning, due to some reason. Guests decided fly back to home before tour end. But lucky morning before any rain, humid. got This beautiful bird, Lesser Yellownape, Bay Woodpecker and others just not far after we drive.

– as usual fast moving bird but with the new AI AF, most the frame lock focus on the head/eye of this tiny and fast bird.

– 幸运的一个早上。客人因私人原因需要提早飞回澳洲。可是,上天还是让他们见到这特别的鸟。

– 一样小而快的小鸟。幸好新的佳能对焦能力大部分都是对焦到头部/眼部

Large Wren Babbler 大鹪鹛 | liewwk

Another bird into my frame (picture lifer) , beside Marbled Wren-Babbler .. this is another big wren-babbler .. and again it behave like other Wren-Babbler , skittish, flying around, calling non stop , calling laugh .. etc ….

As usual, saw this bird in the forest but most the time without camera or just flip seconds ..

另一只令人又爱又恨的鸟。总是跳来跳去,见人飞,也喜欢叫。就如其他 鹪鹛

– it calling non stop while we waiting for other birds nearby .. and when we try trace it for photo no success for ~1hour .. end up we chase it with handheld !!!! … in the dark forest
