Burung Padang & Bukit Tinggi (Birds of Padang and Bukit Tinggi, Indonesia)

Seperti yang saya cakap sebelum ni, sewaktu saya di Indonesia, saya dapati sangat kurang burung.
Tidak seperti yang saya jangka.

(As I mentioned before in one of my posts, I have been to Indonesia, in particular Padang and Bukit Tinggi, in Sumatera, and I was excited to see a lot of birds. Unfortunately there are less birds than I had expected)

Kerana setahu saya Indonesia masih banyak hutan dan hijau dan alam semula jadi.

(My expectation was because, I thought Indonesia still full of greens and nature and forests.)

Jadi ke mana pergi nye burung2 ?

(So where did the birds go?)

 Ni diantara yang saya jumpa!

         (This is what I found)

Katakan TAKNAK kepada burung dikurung dalam sangkar! Walau bagaimana di beri makan sekalipun, saya menentang burung dikurung dalam sangkar! Burung dijadikan dengan sayap utk terbang bebas, dan burung adalah haiwan yang bekeluarga, beranak...


(Say NO to birds in cages! Regardless how well they are treated and how well they are fed, birds are not meant to be caged. Birds were created with wings for obvious reason. And they want to have families and kids too)







Hobi 'membela' burung ini juga banyak di Malaysia terutama di sebelah pantai timur.
Saya tidak faham kenapa burung itu dikurung hanya utk mendengar suara nya, sedangkan suara burung itu adalah milik semua orang.

(This weird hobby of keeping birds in cages also found in Malaysia, especially in the East coast states in Peninsular Malaysia. I just don't understand why they need to keep the birds in cages and so that only they can hear the birds sing... I mean the birds songs belong to everybody)


Apapun, ini diantara burung yang saya amik gambar di Padang/Bukit Tinggi.

(Anyway, these are some birds photos I took while I visit Padang/Bukit Tinggi)

Maaf kerana kualiti gambar yang kurang memuaskan.

(Sorry for low quality images)

 

 

Burung Terbang / Flying birds

ok letih la nak buat warna2 kat tulisan tu.. so lepas ni buat kosong je la. hehehehe.
mula2 konon nak cantik bagai...

(ok honestly it is really tiring to put all the colors on the words. so from now on it is going to be plain. initially i was excited to make my posts look interesting... LOL)

Gambar burung yang paling saya suka ambik ialah masa dia sedang terbang. kalau dapat shot yang terang dan fokus, mmg terbaik.
Tapi mmg sangat susah.

 How about these?

(The shots that I really enjoy and like are when the birds are airborne, or in flight (sorry i dont know if my English is correct). If i really could get a clear and focus shot, it would be awesome.)
(Unfortunately it is difficult)


Rasa happy sangat dapat shot ni.

Awesome huh? hihihi

 (I felt great getting the shot above)

Ini adalah antara gambar2 burung yang saya ambik di Malaysia, dekat dengan tempat tinggal saya.

I really like this one

Dekat situ ada sungai, dan biasanya saya ke sana utk ambik gambar burung. Walaupun biasanya burung2 yang sama jenis je kat situ.





Nampak tak burung nye?

(Can you spot the bird?)

(These are some of the birds pictures I took in Malaysia, just around my place.)

Rehat atas tiang lampu

(Resting on the lamp poll)

(There was a drain/stream nearby and I always go there to photograph birds. Though you will always get the same type of birds...)

Brahminy Kite!! Love it

 Suka gambar ni. Teringat iklan rokok Salem ke ape ke dulu2.

( I love this one. It reminds me the old Salem or some cigarettes ads.)

Terima kasih
Thank you

Alam Semulajadi dan Hidupan Liar Malaysia / Malaysia Nature and Wildlife

Common Myna

Malaysia ialah negara yang cantik dan indah dengan alam semulajadi dan hidupan liar. Malangnya sakit jiwa bila tgk banyak pokok2 ditebang dan bukit gunung ditarah seperti sepanjang highway utara selatan terutama sebelah Perak/Utara... atas nama pembangunan dan ketamakan hidupan liar bernama Manusia.

Tiong Gembala Kerbau

(Malaysia is a beautiful country, with it's nature and wildlife. Unfortunately it hurts when you see trees are cut, forests are destroyed, hills and mountains are destroyed and paved, especially along the north-south highway in Perak or north side, all in the names of development and the greedy nature of a wildlife species called Human. )

Merpati

Pigeons

Kadang2 saya rasa semua cakap2 kerajaan dan swasta di dunia ini, yang kata nak melindungi alam sekitar atau hidupan liar, hanya lah cakap-cakap kosong. Janji palsu. Hanya nak tunjuk dorang amik berat dan nak berlakon di depan masyarakat jer.

Gagak

Crows

(Sometimes I feel that all the talking either from the government or private, regarding protecting the environments and preserving wildlife, are just bunch of empty talks. Fake promises. Just to show they care and acting in front of the public)

Tekukur

Sebenarnya, dorang tak kesah.

(The truth is, they don't really care)

Apapun, masih banyak jugak alam semulajadi dan hidupan liar di Malaysia.


(Still we have a lot of nature in Malaysia)

Spotted Dove

Zebra Dove

Saya pernah pergi ke Indonesia beberapa kali. Dan sangat PELIK kerana saya tidak nampak BURUNG di Indonesia. Mungkin ada seekor dua, tp secara umum tak sebanyak yang saya sangka. Tak tau la mana pergi burung2 kat sana.




(I mean I have been to Indonesia few times, and let me tell you it is so STRANGE that you don't see birds. Okay, maybe one or two, but generally
no birds as many as I expected, giving the fact that Indonesia has a lot of forests and nature. I don't know where the birds went)

Burung Kunyit Besar

Yellow Nape Oriole

Kadang2 kita tak perlu masuk hutan pun sebenarnye. Sungai atau longkang belakang rumah, semak samun tepi jalan sebenarnye pun banyak hidupan liar, cuma kita je tak perati.

Yellow Vented Bulbul

Burung Merbah Kapur

(Sometimes you don't have to go into the nature ie the forests to see nature or wildlife. Even the drains at the back of our houses, or in some bushes along the roads are actually filled with wildlife. We just don't look at them.)

Kita ada hutan, bukit dan gunung, sungai, air terjun, lautan dan pulau, pesisir pantai..

(We have forests, hills and mountains, rivers and streams, waterfalls, seas and islands, beaches...and more )




Dan hidupan liar akua/marina, tp tak tau sangat la...

(But I am not into aqua marine wildlife so I really don't know much)

Dan semestinya burung....

(And of course, BIRDS...)

Oriental Magpie Robin

Murai

Antara burung2 yang biasa di Malaysia ialah jenis Merpati (pigeon), Dove mcm tekukur (spotted dove) dan merbuk (zebra dove), murai (magpie robin), gagak (crow), burung kunyit besar (black nape oriole), jenis2 heron dan egret, bangau, burung tukang (woodpecker), raja udang (kingfisher), Perling Mata Merah (tak nau nama Melayu), Burung Sewah Tahu (pun x tau nama melayu, burung ni itam sekali imbas macam gagak), dan mcm2 lagi.

Burung Sewah Tahu atau Tuwu

(Some of the common birds that you can find, in fact like daily in Malaysia are, pigeons, doves (like spotted doves and zebra doves), magpie robin, crows, black nape oriole, herons and egrets and flamingo?, woodpeckers, kingfishers, Asian glossy starling, Asian koels, and many more.)

Asian glossy starling

Burung perling mata merah

Kita juga ada burung2 yang pelik dan cantik,,, di Malaysia.

(We also have many strange and beautiful birds....here in Malaysia)

Sepasang rajaudang

kingfisher

Dan Malaysia juga terkenal dengan salah satu destinasi untuk 'birds watching events'.

(And Malaysia also is known as one of the places for world's birds watching events)

Tempat2 seperti Port Dickson (utk burung pemangsa), Frazer Hills, Taman2 Negara dan beberapa kawasan paya di Malaysia terkenal sebagai tempat untuk melihat burung.

(Places like Port Dickson (for Raptor birds watching), Frazer Hills, National Parks and few swamps places in Malaysia are known for birds watching)

Antara burung pelik yang pernah saya jumpa di Malaysia ialah burung ini. Tak silap namanya burung But But.

(As far as I am concern, this is the strangest birds I have ever seen in Malaysia. I believe it is called But But (pronounce as 'boot boot', not but )

greater coucal or crow pheasant (Centropus sinensis)

Burung but but

Terima kasih.

(Thank you)
