A spring and autumn passage migrant. Only on Ishigaki Island for a few days.

It's come into breeding season and looking beautiful.

An overwintering Grey-faced Buzzard.

A winter migrant.

The feet are a bit grubby, though.

A shrike you see all the time on Ishigaki Island.

Those thin red legs are beautiful.

Haven't been seeing this Crested Serpent Eagle lately.

Eats fish exclusively.

It was resting in a big tree because of the heat.

Remember — it's not a jungle crow, it's a Large-billed Crow.

This was around when I bought the 600mm.

There's really nothing but Oriental Turtle Doves.

Not in focus.
