Birdwatching in Amami Oshima (June 15-16, 2025)

Perhaps because the rainy season had ended, we were blessed with two days of fine weather. Personally, the most memorable encounter was with the unexpected Chinese Egret, but it was also nice to encounter the relatively unguarded Amami Woodcock during night-time birdwatching. The Ryukyu Robin and Lidth's Jay were hardly seen, perhaps because it was the breeding season.

Birdwatching in Amami Island, Kagoshima (May 9-11, 2025)

Unfortunately, Amami Oshima was cloudy and rainy for several days. Although the weather was not favourable, I was able to see the Amami Woodcock, Ryukyu Scops Owl, Ryukyu Robin, and Amami Woodpecker that I had wanted to see on Amami Oshima.
