Black Crow

Anil — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:24:03 +0000

There’s a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He’s black as the highway that’s leading me Now he’s diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took a ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took [...]

storm apparent

Anil — Thu, 16 May 2013 04:09:02 +0000

The first effects of Cyclone MAHASEN are apparent now. The gusts of wind are starting to sway and bend the palm trees. The rain direction keeps shifting, slanting down.

Worm time

Anil — Fri, 10 May 2013 10:52:52 +0000

And after gobbling up a worm there was a scuffle between two chicks, one lost balance and tumbled. Have not seen it back in the nest yet…. shall keep a look out.

Myna shake!

Anil — Thu, 09 May 2013 10:25:16 +0000

Myna dries off after a heavy downpour. Has a “look” in the eye which was what I was beginning to photograph – when all of a sudden it did this shake to expel the water from wet feathers! Click for larger view

Respite

Anil — Tue, 07 May 2013 09:23:18 +0000

A massive thunder shower. Downpour. It then cleared up just as quickly. The Crows came out to celebrate. . . .

rain rain rain….

Anil — Mon, 06 May 2013 07:58:51 +0000

Rain – a drizzle and then a downpour – strong winds and slanting rain – slow rain and puddles. Watched from my window and then out for a walk.

Winging it [2]

Into the distance, a ribbon of black Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a windswept field Standing alone my senses reeled A fatal attraction is holding me fast How can I escape this irresistible grasp? - PINK FLOYD

April 5th 2013 We cannot see the Chick… then we spot it, but it is listless and we wonder if everything is OK? Mother Kite comes and perches on a frond a few feet from the nest… wary. Later we see that the Chick is fine and was probably just resting from the heat of the [...]

Amazing to see these birds so close up. Obscured by the palm fronds, occasional glimpses through the foliage or when the [...]
