Mountain squirrell's nest, 'Whispering House', Tangalle, Sri Lanka.

We had a two day stay at the 'Whispering house' guest house in Tangalle, Sri Lanka. We saw a mountain squirrell's nest built out of leaves on a 'Margosa' - 'Neem' - tree. I spotted the couple who built the nest but they were too agile for me to get a photo. I managed to get them on video. Click on the link below to get a glimpse of them:-

I saw these on a wet paddy field by the side of the Angunukolapalessa - Ranna road in Sri Lanka.

A 'ring watch' and a 'white gold' ring, Angunukolapalessa, Sri Lanka.

I was having a chat by the side of the road at Angunukolapalessa with this old gentleman riding a bicycle. He showed me a 'Roamer' wind up watch set on a ring, which he had bought in 1960 for Sri Lankan Rs.75/-. He said that it still keeps perfect time. He was wearing a ring on the other hand which he claimed was made of 'white gold'.
