Female Barred Buttonquail. She had a male in tow behind her. As everyone knows, Barred Buttonquail are polyandrous.

A male Barred Buttonquail. He was trotting off away from me, so I used my secret technique to make the bird stop and turn this way. ^^ Most species will freeze for a moment and look over, but it doesn't work a second time on the same individual. ^^;

Another male Barred Buttonquail. His head feathers are in the middle of moulting.

Lately, Light-vented Bulbuls have often been moving around in flocks. A group of a dozen or so was feeding on grass seeds.

Ospreys are turning up more often too. Wintering birds may have started to arrive. During the wintering season on Okinawa Island, you can sometimes see a kettle of around ten Ospreys. ^^
