Peninsular Malaysia Endemic Birds | 马来西亚半岛 特有种鸟

Peninsular Malaysia , we also call West Malaysia which ~2-3 hours flight to Borneo part (Sabah, Sarawak).

Its area is 130,590 square kilometres (50,420 sq mi). It shares a land border with Thailand in the north. To the south is the island of Singapore.[1]

in such small country , we have 719 birds found here  … and due to the similar and close to Thailand and other region, we only have 3 endemic birds which we going to share here

(based on IOC checklist 7.3)

 

1. Malayan Whistling-Thrush, 马来啸鸫,Myophonus robinsoni

very look alike Blue-Whistling-Thrush, and very small population …

Malayan Whistling-Thrush

 

2. Mountain Peacock-Pheasant,  山孔雀雉, Polyplectron inopinatum

rare and shy pheasant , lucky to have few friendly families . and this is when male displaying to attract the female attention .

 

Mountain Peacock-Pheasant

 

3. Malaysian Hill Partridge,砍氏山鹧鸪,Arborophila campbelli

– 非常稀有的婆罗洲特有种。再2016 前,很多人还以为这鸟一在婆罗洲北部绝种。在一群森林研究工作人员拍到照片后终于肯定了,这鸟没在婆罗洲北部(马来西亚)绝种。

在疫情后一段时间我终于有机会拍到这鸟。

52. Bronze-tailed Peacock-Pheasant, 铜尾孔雀雉, 銅尾孔雀雉, Polyplectron chalcurum, アオオビコクジャク

as other Peacock-Pheasant, it is shy and look at the body feather pattern, this Peacock-Pheasant simply beautiful

update 202312

– as other Peacock-Pheasant, it is shy and not easy to have a good view in the wild. This pair of Sumatra endemic, will show up at one of the feeding station but this male will chase any bird that come close make us only saw the main target Schneider’s Pitta (2 times before light, 1 time night)

– 雨其他孔雀稚一样, 漂亮,害羞。都不容易看到。在施氏八色鸫“喂食”点,有一双回来。很漂亮可是可惜他们在,都会赶其他鸟。所以我们一个早上都没看到其他鸟来。(他们出现后)

101. Sri Lanka Junglefowl, 蓝喉原鸡, 藍喉原雞, Gallus lafayettii, セイロンヤケイ

Wild chickenlike bird. Male is burnt orange with dark streaks, cockerel-like glossy black tail, and a prominent red comb marked with yellow on the crown. Gray-brown female has white streaks and prominent barring on its wings. Terrestrial, found in pairs or small groups in forests of lowlands and highlands over much of Sri Lanka. Generally keeps to cover. Only confusion is with domestic chicken; note lack of white at tail base, and yellow marking on comb of males, and bars in wings of females in Sri Lanka Junglefowl. Song a harsh “chyok-cher-chow”. Also stuttering “kik-kik-kik-kik” notes. [Ebird]

– very beautiful and noisy bird and common almost any where too

– 非常漂亮,吵,蛮普通的鸡

update 202312

– a pretty common endemic bird, we didn’t really spend time looking for it just take picture whenever we meet it

– 非常普通的特有种鸟,我们也没特别找。看到就拍。

151. Swinhoe’s Pheasant, 蓝腹鹇, 藍腹鷴, Lophura swinhoii, サンケイ

Secretive, handsome endemic pheasant of Taiwan’s mountains. Male slaty blue from nape to flanks, with contrasting white upper back, brown mantle, and dark gray wings; female mostly rich brown with pale markings above. Both sexes have red facial skin, more extensive in male. Forages quietly in pairs in the forest understory, occasionally along forest edge on trails or roads. Both sexes give subtle clucking calls and a high-pitched squeaky alarm call. Male has white in tail and back, unlike Mikado Pheasant; female distinguished by richer plumage tones, broader tail, pale bill, reddish legs, and unmarked underparts. [Ebird]

– finish my Taiwan trip last 10days ago and now finish Sumatra, 2023 going to end… a busy year and another busy year coming… what’s everyone plan ?

– I had the same Pheasant 16years +- ago but I remember it was either 30/40d 100400 and misty, dark … so I don’t even remember I had keep the photo or not. But finally this time I got opportunity to see it for longer time, better weather … hope see it again future

– 台湾回来后, 再来了苏门答腊。也结束了。2023很忙,蛮忙的2024 也要到来了。大家都有什么打算?

– 我在16+-年前就拍过这鸟,可是当时相机(30/40D)加上雾+暗。照片有没有留下也是一个问号。今年终于再见到他,拍下不错照片。希望还有机会看这么漂亮的鸟

update 202312

– a casual trip to Taiwan, spend some of the time for birding and while going down from DaxueShan (大雪山), stop by ~17 years ago spot and update by local birder the bird can be found there but not very promising due to no feeding allow policy apply. But I am just walk up and down birding at the famous 23.5k got some birds and meet up Kuan-Chieh Hung (Taiwan Bird guide) with guests. After some chit chat session, one of the guesst say .. come come come .. which not really at casual location. 1 male and 3 female relaxing for more than 5 minutes

– female see very beautiful with so much body pattern

– 这次到台湾不是主要为鸟。可是还是利用有的时间,机会看看,拍拍鸟。在大雪山回程时,停在17年前(朋友带过我们到这,他也让我知道。这鸟还在,就不是很活跃因为台湾不允许喂食。所以鸟也不常来了)

在这遇上fb 朋友 (红冠),他可是台湾鸟导。与他在哪谈了一会,突然他的客人。叫我们“过来,过来。。“。过去看到这漂亮的特有种。1雄3雌在哪活动了好几分钟。

– 雌鸟很少很漂亮。这鸟很不一样,母鸟真的很美。
