カンムリワシのペア
多くのカンムリワシはペアになって、繁殖に備えています。
A crow was chasing a Crested Serpent Eagle that had caught a Sakishima Rice Frog.
The male of the Crested Serpent Eagle pair above.
The crow keeps persistently trying to steal the prey.
A different pair of Crested Serpent Eagles. The female. She seems lethargic — perhaps old age, or perhaps not in good condition.

ミサゴ
ミサゴがボラを食っていました。見つけた時は、既に半分ぐらい食われていて、最後は、しっぽまで余すところなくきれいに平らげていました。
The toes are very thick relative to the body size. The fourth toe is flexible enough to rotate backward, giving it the look of a zygodactyl foot.
It has swallowed a whole flathead mullet, so the crop is bulging.

リュウキュウキビタキ、ルリビタキ、イソヒヨドリ
3月31日に初鳴きを聞いて、4月4日に一瞬姿を見て以来アカショウビンを探すも見つからず…。
探す道中、小鳥たちを撮りました。
Red-flanked Bluetail, young male. First-winter plumage.
Ryukyu Flycatcher, adult female. It was singing vigorously.
Blue Rock Thrush, male. A nearby male was approaching its territory, so it perched at the top of a branch on alert.

ヤエヤマボタル
今夜は、無風でホタルもたくさん飛びました。^^ピーク時の70%ぐらいです。
It was quite a steep slope. After shooting, I was scared to climb back down... ^^;
