今年最後のヤエヤマボタル
これを最後に、今年はヤエヤマボタルの撮影終わりー。昨年より、1週間おそい蛍狩りおさめ。^^
I wonder if there will be a big emergence again next year. ^^

GUIDED BIRDWATCHING TOUR
Go where the birds are. The SHIMASOBA Tour launches.
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.
Max. 3 guests

Beginners welcome
Check availability and book
まだまだヤエヤマボタル
今月いっぱいは飛んでくれるかなー。
この場所はピンポイントで大量に飛んでくれるので、3カット撮ってみた。^^
Lots of them flying. Fireflies in front of me and behind me. ^^
The sky was bright because it was around a half-moon. ^^;
The clouds cleared so I pointed the camera up at the sky. It would have been perfect if there had been no moon and the sky had been a bit more open!!

リュウキュウアカショウビン
ホタルに行く前にアカショウビン。^^
An unfamiliar individual. This is supposed to be another pair's territory, though. ^^;
It has been bitten by biting insects around the chest area.

ヤエヤマボタルとキイロスジボタル
今日もたくさんのホタルが飛びました。
Tonight there were plenty of Yellow-striped Fireflies. The green streak-shaped light is from the Yellow-striped Fireflies.
Would love to see a green tornado again.

リュウキュウアカショウビンのペアと穴掘り
今日は、アカショウビンが少なめの一日でした。^^;
観察6個体、撮影4個体でした…。
The usual white-headed female.
The male of the pair above.
Something seemed off about its behaviour — it looks like it was digging a nest hole. There are wood chips stuck to the side of its face. ^^
First time photographing the male of this pair. ^^
They were calling to each other and lined up side by side at one point, so I thought courtship feeding might follow, but it didn't.
