Backlit again… ^^; I wonder if it is deliberately hiding with that in mind.
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.

メスはどこも抱卵に入っているので見つかるのはオスばかり。先週から一斉に抱卵に入りました。
A male Ruddy Kingfisher paired with a different female from last year. They built their nest in a Formosan subterranean termite mound, but the entrance has broken open and the incubating female is in plain sight — I wonder if that's okay…
This one's mate, the female, also nested in a termite mound. About 10 m to the west of last year's site.
He was every bit the male. I was worried this year because the birds were late to arrive on migration, but he came back to his usual territory. ^^
