Downpours After The Draught....
Many parts of Sri Lanka has just recovered from a very long drought, and it's endless rain, floods, landslides, you name it. None of the disasters around where I live, but bad news keep coming from around. It was quite a shock seeing what Sandy did over there in America, nothing like I've ever seen. I just wish these extreme conditions will cease to be, globally.
I'm not updating this blog and visiting your blogs as frequently as I used to be, and there are a few reasons for that. I recently found myself spending too much time in front of the computer, and it was not good. I'm trying to improve my photography, going deeper in to exposure compensation, white balance, spot metering and stuff like that. So I spend more time taking my photos and post processing them. This results in me discarding lots of photos, so I don't have that many photos to upload any given week. A recent vermicompost project and a bit of gardening takes up time too. I'll probably post about it on my gardening blog soon.
And here are some birds I've been shooting. This one is an Asian Brown Flycatcher.
Asian Brown Flycatcher (Muscicapa dauurica)
This one is a Scaly-breasted Munia.
Scaly-breasted Munia or Spotted Munia (Lonchura punctulata)
I'm also throwing in a video I made of a bee goin in to and out of a flower. Check the shiny blue color of the bug.
All right, that's all I have for you folks for now, I 'll make a new post as soon as I get around doing it.

Dancing With Bubuls.......
I cant believe I let my internet usage go over-limit in the first week of a billing cycle! But I just did that, and there goes my connection speed down. You can hardly do anything online with a speed of 64kbps, hence the one month absence. But I'm back in the game again, so let's see what I've shot all this time.
We visited my parents at my old place at Panadura on 15th last month, and stayed there for three weeks. There were some pretty tame White-browed Bulbuls that allowed me to get very close to them.
White-browed Bulbul ( Pycnonotus luteolus)
This pretty striking caterpillar was on an ornamental that has been there since I was a small kid. Them caterpillars have been on it ever since I remember too.
Look what I found in a sack of dirt that my father had kept in the shed. I could not identify it, so I uploaded in to Lakdasun forum and awaiting a reply.
That's about it for now, folks, drop by next week end to see if there's anything new. I'll be visiting you too.

I particularly like this shot of a Scaly-breasted Munia captured on the same day.
