A Few Days of Sun Has Brought Many Critters To The Open
Image by roosterfeather via FlickrThe topic of this post is different from what I said it would be on my last post,but the originally intended content is included,plus some more.Apparently the consistent downpour that caused so many trouble is over,and the last few days has been warm,humid and sunny. I've observed and photographed a variety of creatures during this time,and here they are.This Lesser Whistling-duck (Dendrocygna javanica) was the recent for the originally intended post title, Quack Quack! I didn't know of these till I saw this post by my blogger friend Amila. I was on the look for this one ever since, till I finally saw this one floating in small tank at a village a little off from Kurunegala.

Spotted Dove (Spilopelia chinensis) are nesting, and I see some incubating and building nests at my workplace. I tried to capture one carrying a twig in the beak, but failed. But I got this shot. 
Red-wattled Lapwings (Vanellus indicus) are clearly enjoying the sunny weather too. 
Ever-present Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) is seen in both small flocks as well as individuals pecking parasites off grazing cows and buffaloes. 
Image by roosterfeather via Flickr I photographed this Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) today as I walked home after work. They seem to prefer being in water.
Image by roosterfeather via FlickrLast Sunday morning allowed me to capture this Indian Pond Heron or (Ardeola grayii).
Image by roosterfeather via Flickr This Oriental Magpie Robin (Copsychus saularis), like the Spotted Dove, is from within my working place premises. Butterflies have been plentiful around here too. This one is a Common Pierrot (Castalius rosimon).
Dragonflies and damsels have also appeared in considerable numbers, with notably many juveniles. This Pink Skimmer(Orthetrum pruinosum) is from my garden. I saw this marsh dancer on a plant in a foot path leading to a paddy field.
Allow me to finish this post with this water strider from my garden pond. Could you guys tell me the binomial name? I've got some more photos, but it's 1.40 a.m. and I can't go on. Stay put, take care!

Aaaarrrrrrgh!!!!!!!!!
Allow me to present some spiders that I've captured this week.
Image by roosterfeather via FlickrI used to see to see this strange looking spiders back at my old place when I was a kid, and it was years till I spotted another in Kurunegala.
This one was on a permanganate plant in my garden.
I photographed this spider inside our house. This common species inhabit the house holds and don't seem to spin webs.
This very colorful spider was in a well wooded home garden a little further way from Kurunegala.
I have not been able to pin down proper identifications on any of these spiders, but I'll try as usual. Any help from you dearest readers are much appreciated.
On next post, Quack Quack!........ Stay put!
