ヤエヤマボタルと星
途中で雲がとれて星が出てきたので撮ってみました。
Again today, several thousand fireflies were dancing. ^^
As the display wound down, stars began to appear. ^^
I'd love to get a proper shot of them sometime.

リュウキュウアカショウビンの交尾
求愛給餌をせずに、いきなり交尾でした。^^;
巣も発見済みなので今年も営巣の撮影が出来るなー。^^
I thought a male Ruddy Kingfisher had shown up, but he came empty-handed….
They mated. Courtship feeding was not observed.
The male came to the female twice, but empty-handed both times. ^^;
A female Ruddy Kingfisher calling softly for the male.
Pellet regurgitation.
