In Japan, the native population of the Oriental White Stork Ciconia boyciana Swinhoe, 1873 had been extinct in 1986, when the last captured stork died in a breeding facility. Later on, some wild or bred storks from Russia and mainland China (clear origin unknown) were transported to Japan, and their descendants were repeatedly released into natural fields to establish wild populations in this country. In this study, the feather mite Pelargolichus orientalis Waki, Mironov, and Shimano, 2023 has been collected from a taxidermy specimen of the Oriental White Stork belonging to a Japanese native population and preserved in the Himeji City Science Museum, Japan. Pelargolichus orientalis is the only feather mite species detected and described from the introduced storks bred in a Japanese zoo in our previous study. The present study shows that P. orientalis did occur in the Japanese native host population.

A nest of the Ryukyu Scops Owl Otus elegans was found on Okinoshima (Okino Island), Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan (34.24°N, 130.10°E), in the Tsushima Strait, on 28 July 2013. The breeding pair and their three owlets were caught and their identity confirmed genetically using the BOLD System for COI in the mitochondrial genome. Their calls and external morphological measurements also accorded with what is known of the species. We estimated that at least 23 territorial males inhabit the Island. Okinoshima lies 490 km beyond the previously known northern limit of the species' distribution.
