Birdwatching in Okinawa (February 15-16, 2026)

We spent three days in Kunigami Village, Okinawa. However, we were unable to observe important endemic species such as the Okinawa Rail and the Okinawa Woodpecker under favourable conditions. On the other hand, we were fortunate to have good opportunities to observe the Okinawa Robin and the Ryukyu Minivet. On our final day, we also had an unexpected encounter with a Desert Wheatear on the coast.

Birdwatching in Yambaru, Okinawa (September 11-13, 2025)

Unlike when I visited in early summer, I did not hear the drumming of the Okinawa Woodpecker or the song of the Ruddy Kingfisher, but I did manage to encounter the Okinawa Rail, Okinawa Robin, and Okinawa Woodpecker.
