The adult Black-winged Kites bring food to the young mainly in the morning and evening. Mice make up the bulk of the prey.

A Black-winged Kite bringing a large mouse to the young — half of it already eaten.

The adult was also doing a fluttering display flight.

They are breeding in a mixed stand of Ryukyu Pine and Casuarina, but the species of tree the nest is in is unknown.

A Ruddy Kingfisher bringing a fairly large grasshopper to the chicks in the nest. Perhaps about ten more days until fledging.

A Ruddy Kingfisher in the neighbourhood — also in the middle of raising chicks. It is breeding very close to where the Black-winged Kites and Japanese Sparrowhawk are nesting.

A Brown Hawk-Owl incubating. Breeding at the site of a Yaeyama Palm that fell some years ago — the same tree where a Ruddy Kingfisher used to breed.

The male paired with the female above.

A female Japanese Sparrowhawk near my home. She is spending a lot of time away from the nest — does that mean the chicks have grown large?

The partner of the Japanese Sparrowhawk above. There may be a second pair breeding in the same woodland.

A Brown Hawk-Owl male at a different location.

A pair with the individual above. It has not entered the nest during the day for about three days, so the chick's growth appears to be progressing well.
