A daily record.
Featuring photos of wild birds and nature, mainly from Okinawa Main Island and Ishigaki Island

Climbed even higher than last night for the Yaeyama fireflies.

Just when the stars finally came out, the fireflies were already gone…. ^^;

Tonight in a different spot from usual. This one was beautiful too.

A female begging food from a male.

A male with a chipped lower mandible. Paired with the female above.

The male is the one on the left with the chipped lower mandible; the female is on the right. It looks like she was being given a cicada larva. This pair has already mated and dug a nest hole, yet it seems they still do courtship feeding. ^^

An individual I'd been struggling to get a shot of. Once again missed the pair….

This female is the one I've photographed most. The white streaking on the head is distinctive. Shot her endlessly last year too. ^^

I want to shoot it against the moss-covered rocks, but the rocks are too low… I'll give it another go tomorrow. ^^;
