“Berry” enjoyable Sunday….

I went to Ranganathittu area to do some birding and while I did have a lovely time, with all the usual birds on display, I also watched this little drama of life and death nearby….

Very early this morning, , and I went to IISc campus to do a bit of birding before the meeting we went to have. We spotted only the usual birds, the COUCAL, the WHITE-CHEEKED BARBET, the BULBULS,the INDIAN ROBIN, the ASIAN KOEL, the FLOWERPECKERS, the SCALY-BREASTED MUNIA (though Sanath said he saw a BLACK-HEADED MUNIA as well)the PURPLE SUNBIRDS, and the ROSE-RINGED PARAKEETS (apart from the usual CMPK...CROW,MYNAH, PARIAH KITE!) Didn't take any pictures of these, as I have already taken pictures of them, and also because the S3IS is NOT a birding camera...

The snail, too, moves; In a trail of slime, Wary of feet and hooves, It moves…but takes its own time.
