I visited the usual spot where Ryukyu Scops Owls breed, and sure enough one was there. I was also able to hear the well-known descending call: "Wok, wok, wok, woh."

Shot with a handheld light. LED lights really do throw the colours off. Same individual as above.

A Ryukyu Scops Owl that had come down to the ground. The Ryukyu Scops Owl's calls are more varied than those of the Ryukyu Scops Owl [Elegant Scops Owl] or Brown Hawk-Owl; this one was calling "Mew, mew, mew." It is the same as the call recorded in January 2022.

The right eye appears to be injured. Perhaps it was clipped by a passing vehicle at some point. Shot with a rental car's headlights. Again, the colours aren't accurate. Same individual as above.

A male Grey-faced Buzzard calling as it was chased by two crows.

Oriental Pratincole in winter plumage. Looks lonely on its own.

Far Eastern Curlew adult.

Eurasian Curlew adult.

A Eurasian Curlew flying over the sea surface. Same individual as above.

A Common Sandpiper juvenile is doing its best to swallow a large caterpillar.

A Black-winged Stilt also caught a large caterpillar. It appears to be one found on taro leaves.

I counted nearly 30 snipe, but all were Common Snipe.

A juvenile Gray-tailed Tattler with a crab it had caught.
