The bioluminescence of the Mycena chlorophos is quite strong. ^^ I think it will have withered by tomorrow.

It was growing higher than my height (180 cm). I should have brought a stepladder. ^^;

Mycena chlorophos.

This is the same mushroom lit with a flashlight. If anyone knows the species name, please let me know. -> It turned out to be Mycena chlorophos.

I searched for the owner of the ko-hō ko-hō call — and there it was. A male Ryukyu Scops Owl. ^^

The individual being mobbed by small birds in the video is this same bird.

This Ryukyu Scops Owl was deep in the thicket!!

Walking through the windbreak, I found a third Oriental Scops Owl!!

The yellow dots are Yaeyama fireflies; the green streaks are Yellow-striped fireflies.

The plumage is transitioning from juvenile to immature.

A Ruddy Kingfisher on the forest road. It was perching high up, so I shot handheld. Heavy… ^^;

It heard a crow calling and snapped its eyes wide open, on alert. Still perching on one foot, though.

This individual had no wariness at all, and fell asleep, so I called it a day… ^^;
