Elephant again

Another elephant passed the house the other day. This one is looked after by Paa's cousins' grandfather. The elephant is decorated, I dont know if there is some significance in this. A few weeks later it passed through the rice fields past the back garden.

Lottie as usual

A movie of Lottie when excited.

Lottie with her great grandfather.

House and garden

The house and garden are great, the bananas and pappaya are doing especially well. Couple of pics and I am going to try a film.

Birdwatching

Birdwatching or in my case bird-spotting and moving on, is good fun here as many of the birds are not seen in the UK. We dont get that many birds unfortunately, and mostly one sees the same birds as most of the scenery around here is the same. The flambouyant birds are generally in the forested areas. However, here are a few pictures of some of the following black kite, brahminy kite, black shouldered kite, green bee-eater, white-throated kingfisher (i saw my first one today), lesser coucal, little, great and cattle egret, various herons, cinnamon bittern, painted stork (4 yesterday, and 5 flying day before), oriental magpie robin, pied bushchat, black-collared starling, common and crested myna, baya weaver.
