While at work, a message came in through our group chat: "Greater Racket-tailed Drongo confirmed." I fidgeted through the rest of my shift, then rushed to the spot two hours after the alert — and managed to find the bird in driving rain and wind!!

Thanks to 石垣島BIRD観察, the first to find it, my life list got a new entry. ^^
