update 20231225

– it is going to end the Sumatra Birding tour here, it is enjoyable we only hit into rain end of the tour which is amazing. My 2023 end with the memorize trip here. But overall is wet, muddy and few places of landslides. As we just concentrate on west-center, we mostly at Sub-montane or Montane birding. I am mostly using CANON RF200800 and CANON R3 for rainforest environment. It is challenging with such long focal length with small aperture (will share more experience later regard the lens)

– this bird seem quite common any where here, we seen and heard almost any where even night roosting at montane area. Such a beautiful bird and hope to see the Java version soon (which I missed 16 years ago)

– 苏门答腊观鸟团就这样结束了。我的2023 也写上一个美好的结局。虽然,时雨季可是我们除了最后一天最后一刻才下了一点雨。虽然,几乎每个地方都湿湿的。这次我们在西-中部,全程在800-2100米。我也几乎都用上佳能 RF200800 为了测试在雨林的好与坏(迟点再分享这只长焦段+小光圈)

– 这次算看这鸟最多的吧,几乎哪都看到他。连夜观也看到。这鸟真的很漂亮也希望有机会到爪哇,看看那只爪哇的。(16年前错过后)

#####

12. Rajah Scops-Owl, 拉氏角鸮, 蘇門答臘角鴞, Otus brookii, ラジャーオオコノハズク

a owl we always heard and wanted to see in Borneo, even it can be different sub-species or species (in future) but It is much easier here .. a small owl like other small and active in dark

– 虽然在这,当地导游都会找到早上版的。可是我与我的客人都是喜欢自己找找(不喜欢等人家找到叫你去看)。第一个早上,我们就去找找。到森林后,没很久就找到了。(很不可思议的找到,它没叫!。。不啦我是有热量仪相机找到啦)

– 几乎不大可能在短时间拍到这特有种鸟,非常活跃,跳非常快。可是运气好(还是不好?)我们主要目标没出现,只好在这等待。让我有一点时间去拍拍这鸟。鹪鹛啊,我最爱的鸟种。

202312, Mount Kerinchi, Sumatra, Indonesia

14. Sumatran Treepie, 马来树鹊, 蘇門答臘樹鵲, Dendrocitta occipitalis, シラガオナガ

– 我们以为可以在喂食点看到,可是等了一个早上都没声音。我们没等,在上山路中听到也蛮容易找到(有神器嘛)。还有这是个好教材,我的CANON R3, 为了快速拍到懂得鸟通常都是开全福/中部区域对焦(鸟眼)可是在这种情况是应该很难找到的(有时也可以)。可是我选了其中一个钮,放了5点对焦(鸟眼)。通常找不到后,我很快用这个对焦钮碰鸟的任何一个部位。立刻就可以找到鸟眼了。。真的很好用!

another special tour, which has main target of this Standardwing Bird-of-Paradise.

It is a real good experience to be Halmahera, we just spend 3 nights. We easily got ours’ targets seen.

This is our main target, on 2nd morning. We hike 3.7km straight to the “hide” (on the way, we heard owlet-nightjar which is my favorite bird but we failed to see the bird and also rushing to the hide for main target.

Arrived before 6am, while every still dark. We can heard many of them already calling infront of us but just very brief view. after 30minutes, finally we got clear view of this amazing beautiful bird. But I still only got some extreme high ISO picture even with my CANON RF400mm F2.8.

Long story short, the birds stay for long and from ISO 25600 – ISO800, Managed to have perfect view of the bird and pictures… oohh video too .

Immediate of this target, we walking out and birding. There is another very good story to talk about “pick up service for the Pitta”

– 非常不一样的一次特别目标鸟团。我们其实主要3 只鸟加最好看完可以看到的猫头鹰。可是,来到这么好的鸟点。我们几乎没浪费任何时间(天气太热,我们还是有2-3小时中午到房间休息)

– 这只天堂鸟是我们主要鸟。我们到了哈马黑拉岛后第二天早山立刻步行3.7公里到鸟点。在路中听了好几次鼻鸱可是我们只是停留很短时间。所以没看到。大概1.5小时后到达鸟点,还是很暗(6am)可是这鸟已在叫不停。我们还只是看到影子而已。过了30分钟。终于看到清楚了。大家都高兴了。可是,我还是用ISO25600 (还是用CANON RF 400mm F2.8) .可是很幸运,鸟留下来到天蛮亮的。终于看到拍到。

– 回程中,我们再次去看白胸八色鸫. 当地导游竟然让我们知道人是可以与动物共处的。之前他一直讲不用担心八色鸫,他们不在的话。他会去“接“它!让我有机会下次再写写那个故事(希望有时间,完了这团后又要很忙到9月了。

update 202304

– post this before I get busy months again. This is one of the most amazing experience on this trip. When day 1 arrived with heavy rain, after rain stop we did quick birding surrounding our homestay. when we walk near the river, owner say why not we go for quick try on the Pitta and keep mentioned “if the bird is nearby or little bit distance he can do pick-up service” !! (I am thinking pick-up service hmmm). But the bird came without long wait or any issue. (so we missed the pick-up service show)

– next day after Standardwing BOP, we walk back to homestay and pass by the Pitta spot. We would like to try for this pitta again for male. After long wait (~15minutes) , he say the bird is far lets’ him pick-up the pitta .. I was like hmm how ? But he walk into the bush and use whistler/call. After ~10minutes wait, we heard the bird call getting nearer and soon we saw him walking out from the bush. and you can see the Pitta is following him coming out from the bush (may be ~10-15m away) !!!!!! “pick up service”

– 觉得需要把这先写下,这是我在这11天团里觉得最不值得分享经验之一。(或在这一生中也蛮特别)。我们经过一天的飞机-车-八色鸫-船-车-大雨 的折磨。终于到了民宿。雨停后我们也不闲的去看鸟,当然我是唯一带相机的我就拍拍记录照给大家。走走的到了河边,民宿主人问我们要试试八色鸫吗?我们觉得时间不多了,怕不出来浪费时间。可是他说,不怕鸟不在。“我可以去接它过来” !!!心想什么鬼,接!!!可是我们到后八色鸫一下就出来让我们看的兴奋了。(主要目标之一达标)

第二天一早我们先去看/拍幡羽极乐鸟。容易地拿下后。大家也想回去八色鸫的点看有运气看到巨大的公鸟吗。可是这次等了15分钟等候完全没声音,”他“就说没问题。我去接它过来!(心想又夸口)。他走了近草丛,大概10分钟后我们听到八色鸫叫了。然后他从草丛里走了出来,然后最不可思议的事。八色鸫在跟随他(大概10-15米)后跳了出来 !!!我们都讲,这样都可以? 我终于知道人-鸟是一起这样的。”接送服务“

4. Common Paradise-Kingfisher, 普通仙翡翠, 普通仙翡翠, Tanysiptera galatea, ラケットカワセミ, Cekakak-pita biasa

– A long-tailed kingfisher of lowland forests. White underparts and rump, dark blue upperparts with pale blue shoulder and crown. Long white tail with 2 extended central tail feathers ending in spatula tips. Sits still for long periods whilst slowly pumping its tail. Very similar to Little Paradise-Kingfisher, but Common Paradise-Kingfisher is larger, with a paler crown, white rather than blue outer tail feathers and a heavier bill. The safest way to separate, however is by vocalization. Heard more often than seen. Song, a rapidly accelerating and slightly rising series of dry notes. [Ebird]

普通仙翡翠身长22 cm,雄鸟体重58-65g,雌鸟体重55-69 g。成鸟有蓝紫前额,蓝顶蓝枕。眼先黑色,脸颊和腮部蓝紫色。两侧颈部、肩胛至脑后背部有一蓝黑色半领。小覆羽黑色,中覆羽亮天蓝色。其余的飞翼上方是蓝紫色。尾部形成一个白色环带,中央抽出两根十分细长的绶带,外缘蓝色,末端纯白色膨大成拍状。嘴红色,虹膜深褐色,腿部黄褐色。 [1]幼鸟的头部羽毛深褐色,与黄色的眼先前额接壤,其它地方是红色。眼眉又长又黑。双翼,尾巴均是深褐色。大多数覆羽的内衬明亮的红色。尾巴中央是蓝色,其下浅黄色,有小覆羽羽为黑色,喉咙和胸部边缘有纹。嘴是灰棕色。 [1]

A very large barn-owl with a gray facial disk, gray crown, and rufous upperparts and wings with scattered dark markings. Prefers open country, like agricultural land, plantations, and forest edge, from lowlands to mountains. Limited to Sulawesi. Distinguished from smaller Minahassa Masked-Owl by gray face, gray forecrown, more extensive dark markings across wings and upperparts, and preference for open country.[Ebird]

与仓鸮非常像,叫声也像。在苏拉威西北部不很普通。这次在最后一晚见到斑鹰鸮后。竟然听到这鸟叫。在天空上飞。

8k video from CANON EOS R5 | liewwk Nature

One of the reasons to own 8k video most probably is to crop the video like this one to get more clarity (but I didn’t reduce it to 4k just want to show 8k video and zoom in)

let’s have a look at 4k and tell me how’s this video looks like? very good? good? normal?
