Dives on a Ryukyu Box Turtle!!
Lunging for a perch.
Those primaries are looking pretty worn.
Just a few metres from the Crested Serpent Eagle.
GUIDED BIRDWATCHING TOUR
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.

クロツラヘラサギの成鳥と幼鳥がいました。来年の春ぐらいまでいるでしょう。
The one in the back — an adult, as the wings are pure white.
The one in the front — a juvenile, as the wings show dark patterning.

What a great face.
Hunting for crabs in the stream.
Caught a crab!!
This was the first time I'd seen one catch a crab this close up — it swooped in from a blind spot on a crab just barely poking its head out of its burrow, and plunged its foot right in!!
The nictitating membrane is closed to protect its eye.
夕日を浴びてリュウキュウヨシゴイが餌探し。
Bathed in the evening sun, it turned an even more vivid orange.
