Is it gazing up at the cold sky?
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.

あちこちで営巣が始まっているようです。
I believe this is the individual I first photographed this year on 1 April.
My first photograph of this individual.
Male Ruddy Kingfisher.
The Ruddy Kingfisher pair from above.
My first photograph of this individual — around the 14th bird or so. ^^
I found a fine nest. ^^
19:45ぐらいからやっと飛びました。^^;
I tried shooting almost from ground level, as if stars were raining down. Should have gone portrait orientation.
Even so, the bokeh from this lens is beautiful. ^^
