Birdwatching in Amami Nature Observatory Forest (September 14, 2025)

 As my visit was in mid-September, I had anticipated that spotting songbirds would be difficult. However, I was able to see many wild birds, far more than I had expected. Particularly noteworthy was the Amami Woodcock observed at night, which I could study at close range and at leisure.
