Ryukyu Scops Owl fledges
I confirmed the first Ryukyu Scops Owl fledging of the season. It is a tree cavity that has been used for breeding year after year. The pair may be the same birds, but without banding there is no way to be certain. Only one chick fledged this season, so if it is the same pair, ageing of the parents could be a factor.

Ruddy Kingfisher from home. It appeared to be raising young — when it caught prey, it flew off into the forest.
