A squirrel having his breakfast, my home garden, Avissawella.

The antics of squirrels amazes me all the time. The above is a regular in my garden at Avissawella. They build their nests inside the drawers of my desk. The little ones grow up safe there.

Indian Robin - Black Robin, Kudagama, Sri Lanka.

The 'Black robin' looks like the 'Oriental Magpie Robin' but is totally black. It makes a hissing call unlike the Oriental Magpie Robin' which is a very musical bird. The male 'Black Robin' is black and the female is a greyish red. I took this photograph at Kudagama, Avissawella in February 2010.

'Blyth's Pipit' - Kaluwandura, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.

Around 10am on the 4th of February 2010, we were returning from Kaluwandura, a village off Puwakpitiya. We saw this bird by the roadside. It circled around and would not fly away. There must have been a nest closeby for we spotted its other partner momentarily before the latter flew away. It gave us anexcellent photographic study.
