雨が降ってもヤエヤマボタル
途中、雨も降り出しましたがホタルはよく飛びました。^^
Couldn't quite get the composition right tonight… Wish I could find a better angle.

2ペアのリュウキュウアカショウビン(動画あり)
小雨の中、アカショウビンは元気にえさ取り、求愛給餌をしていました。^^
抱卵に入るペアが増えているようで、だんだん観察がしづらくなっています。
When it rains the colours of the trees become vivid.
The two were together, never quite close but never far apart.
There seems to be plenty of prey up in the trees — it kept looking upward.
A male Ruddy Kingfisher. The pair from above.
I thought this female had started incubating, but there she was. What's going on?
After a good fill of Ruddy Kingfishers I spotted this one on my way to see the fireflies. It was 19:00, too dark to get the shutter speed up. This pair will probably still be doing courtship feeding for a while. ^^

ヤエヤマボタル
近所の子供も連れて行きました。3年生以来のホタルだったそうです。
It felt good while I was shooting, but looking at the results they're not quite there. ^^;

リュウキュウアカショウビン(動画あり)
まだ、抱卵に入っていないようです。求愛給餌はもうしないようでした。オスは呼ぶのですが、メスは全く反応なし。^^;
A male Ruddy Kingfisher.
The female paired with the Ruddy Kingfisher above.
The no-entry restriction was lifted and I finally got the shot. ^^
This Ruddy Kingfisher too — got it once the no-entry restriction was lifted. ^^
A favourite perch. A Crested Serpent Eagle was about 30 metres away, but neither seemed bothered by the other.

久々に、アカショウビン以外を撮ったなー。^^;
It was catching grasshoppers alongside crows.
