July jottings

Nizhal's PWD park
  • Need to number the trees
  • Usha cuts palm webbing along with the paper, oops.
  • Arrive, and its all cloudy, green and overgrown.
Nice!
  • Spider eyeballs me. Annoyed at being disturbed.
  • Look at his hairy legs...or is it hers?
  • Scurries away under another leaf, and I decide not to disturb his peace.
  • Butterflies everywhere
  • Common lime, plain tigers flitting about.
  • These two caught, and its just my Sony Ericcson phone cam!
  • Two chital stags looked on curiously, nervous as well?
  • We are only labelling the saplings, boys, I wanted to say.
  • But the closer we got the more fidgety they were. And then with a leap and a charge they were off, beautiful antlers and all.
Anyways, the job was done, the rain held off, and the snakes stayed away.

  4. Raji, welcome to Madras. Do get in touch with the Madras Naturalists Society and Nizhal. They are great places to meet fellow birders and naturalists, and plan outings.

    here are the details:
