リュウキュウキビタキ
メスのリュウキュウキビタキが行ったり来たり。^^
It's a female. The male has such beautiful yellow colouring, but he just won't come out. ^^;
GUIDED BIRDWATCHING TOUR
We'll drive you around Ishigaki Island to wherever the birds are showing best that day. Observation is mostly from inside the vehicle, and we keep it to a maximum of 3 guests so everyone can take their time.

昨日、掘ったと思われる巣。いい場所です。^^
My first photograph of this individual. The courtship feeding was happening deep in the undergrowth.
Also my first photograph of this individual.
Hunting from a favourite perch.
Resting.
It was digging a fine nest hole. ^^
Another fledging to look forward to.
Wood chips from the nest digging.
途中で雲がとれて星が出てきたので撮ってみました。
Again today, several thousand fireflies were dancing. ^^
As the display wound down, stars began to appear. ^^
I'd love to get a proper shot of them sometime.
この2羽は初撮影です。^^
昼休みにおにぎりをコンビニで買っていってきました。1時間以内で2羽も撮れるなんて今年は多いのかなー。
見ただけで撮れてないアカショウビンはあと6羽います。^^;
目指せ20個体!!
You can see a car reflected in its eye. ^^;
A male was with her, but it stayed deep in the thicket and I couldn't get a shot….
