I'll start off with the birds. The tiny one you see below was completely new to me. Does any one know what that little bird is?
And here is a Red-vented bulbul perched on the TV antenna.

This one is a female Asian Koel.

This Boulenger's Bronzeback snake used to come to a Citrus tree in the garden every day and lay still on a branch for hours, but it has been absent for two days now.

This Oriental garden lizard was on the trunk of a mango tree in the garden next door.

I also photographed and filmed a millipede, a considerably big specimen for this area.
This orb Weaver that I asw in the gardening was really small. Can any body provide me with the species name please?
Agriope sp
This Peacock Pansy was filmed in the garden today.
I didn't know that Weaver ants were such interesting creatures till a local news paper published an article about them recently. visit this link and see for yourself.

I saw a bug dragging a spider way too bigger, as I was working on one of my vegetable plants in the garden. I don't know weather the bug killed the spider or it just came across the carcass, but I think the latter is more likely.
There are some caterpillars on my Winged bean plants . They don't do much damage to the plants, and I'm waiting to see what they develop in to.
Okay, that's about it, hope you would enjoy. Stay tuned, and wish me luck, I'll be posting again next Friday. Ciao!

Great snake - love to have one in the garden, been looking at the local college today but really hard to find, not very many of them in this part of the world.

Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any tips for inexperienced blog writers? I'd genuinely appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteAlso see my website > milton keynes landscaping
Yes. you did take photos of some great critters!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos. I don't like snakes, but I love how you captured the snake in the tree. The lizard was pretty cool, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! They sort of creep me out, but even the millipede looks kind of pretty all coiled up!
ReplyDeleteLoved your photos! I posted about a snake today also, although not nearly as exotic as yours! The birds, all the wildlife...a wonderful way to experience a different part of the world!
ReplyDeleteWow , your birds and critters" are all just wonderful and so exotic. The first bird, the one you don't know, actually looks more like a bird I might see here than any of the others -- he's very sweet and shy compared to the rest of them which are so flamboyant!
ReplyDeletethe picture of that millipede is really really charming!
Awesome captures.
ReplyDeleteThe Cardinal, is my critter this week!
Wow - amazing shots of birds, snake and spider. That millipede curled up is a work of art.
ReplyDeleteAmzing shots all of them! So many beautiful specimen!
ReplyDeleteI'm very grateful that you show me the srilankian wilderness! i have two very dear friends from Sri LAnka, and now I know more about their home country :) Thank you!
Enjoy a beautiful day :)
