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.

Kan-chan, the dominant bird at Nagura.
An individual that has been loitering around Kan-chan's territory lately. It's clearly intimidated by Kan-chan's threats. ^^;
This juvenile keeps hanging around the area no matter how many times it's chased off.
Could this be Kan-chan's partner?
