The incessant 'calling' of
another 'Scops' Owl had me out of my bunk at 05:00 and racing around the
hotel gardens like a demented Roadrunner. As predicted, no such luck
but it was a great start to another day of relaxation!
Firstly, I had decided to check out this interesting looking building, seen yesterday, which turned out to be the
LOCAL SWIMMING POOL
which, having blagged my way in for a look around, seemed rather to be under-selling it a bit
as it is of Olympic proportions
and appears well looked after. I did look out for Tom Daley but no sign.
and why carn't I centralise this photo - CRAP!
Time for a sit down, and that's when I met this lovely couple and shared a coffee and a chat. There was
plenty on offer to eat, but just not the right time.
I'VE GOT A LOVELY BUNCH OF COCONUTS
not a lot of people know that!
Still
trying to cope with what those oafs at Google (who you'll notice haven't even identified this bird yet) describe as an
improvement to the Blog Site, there is no time to check on bird
identities, I'm starting to loose the plot. but please don't send me
home!
These juvenile Common Mynas have the appearance of tiny Vultures with their head feathers missing,
While there are still attempts to get one decent shot of an Oriental Magpie Robin, not working is it?
White-throated Kingfisher was most obliging in the local park,
while it is hoped that BRAHMINY KITE will be as confiding before this leg of the trip is over.
This SUNBIRD may well be the female of the one above
This
Peaceful (Zebra) Dove was looking a little worse for wear, but was
taking full advantage of the endless supply of Maggots in the dustbin
compound.
The unidentified PIPIT may well be PADDYFIELD but again with no time to check maybe someone will let me know?
and
what would a day be without a TREE SPARROW? Well, quite frankly around
here you'd be in the wrong place if you didn't see one.
