Rocky promontory, Wellawaththe beach, Sri Lanka.

The rocky promontory at the Wellawaththe beach was a popular haunt of afficiandos of 'line-fishing' from our medical student days. It is still the same. You also see quite a lot of courting couples admiring the sunset. Photo taken by me on a Fuji Finepix S 1500 on 12/2/2010.

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.
