What a beak.

Surprisingly fierce-looking face. ^^;

A pair intimidating a nearby swimmer. ^^

About twice the size of a Little Egret.

Again it flew off over the hill toward the rice paddies from the other day.

For some reason it keeps walking straight toward me. ^^

What a great face!!

Camouflaged in the grass.

It was past 7 p.m. and raining, so it was pretty dark… ^^;

Breeding season is over, but they are still spending time together as a pair.

So close!!

Same individual as yesterday. Sure enough, it looks pretty ragged compared to when it was at its finest just before breeding. ^^;

Probably a female?

This individual is also quite ragged. ^^;

Wary of a crow.

A Crested Serpent Eagle flying off in good spirits after eating a turtle. ^^

Got a turtle on the field path too.

Got a turtle in the pasture too.

Searching for turtles from a branch.

Foraging with that upturned bill.

Not afraid of people at all — it kept coming closer and closer. ^^;

Looking toward Sakieda from Nagura Bay.
