Pacific Reef-Heron

This species is also known as the Pacific Reef Egret (OBC, Robson) but here I follow Clements who calls it Pacific Reef-Heron (IOC goes with Reef Heron without the hyphen). These birds occur in both a dark morph as seen here, and also a white morph which bears a resemblance to the Chinese Egret...

Japanese Night Heron

This one was spotted on a road above Nago, Okinawa in some fairly jungle-like country. At first, I thought it was a Cinnamon Bittern but, something about the colors and Black beak, led me to Night Heron, alon g with some help from the Bird ID Forum.

Cute little birds but always deep in the jungle and they don't stay still so difficult to get a decent shot!

After days and days of searching for this elusive character it was great when it decided to perch for a few seconds not too far from me.

Japanese Paradise Flycatcher

The most difficult bird i have ever photographed due to the fact they are difficult to find and if you can locate them they are always in dense thick forest and constantly move. This is the female. Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
