Sunday Blah!

Abrus Precatorius - click to enlargeNagpur Chapter of BNHS was kicked off by people who, till now, have been members but never got together. After the first meet on 2nd March, the first event was very quickly planned – A bird watching trail walk for today morning 7am at VNIT campus. Once again the blessing of being in a small town came forth, VNIT happens to be exactly 5 min walk from our house and you can spot birds starting from sunbirds right up to peacocks and almost every known size in between.

More people than expected, read as – in two digits, turned up and the walk was a complete success for me, I saw a bird, previously unrecognised by me – “yellow eyed babbler”. We have also started a Yahoo group for keeping the members in touch, may be Swati will post a more detailed account somewhere.

Photography for a few days is likely to take a backseat 🙂

Lots of other small changes have taken place around the house about which I have not written in this journal earlier over past couple of months – We have a new sofa, a new dining table, fed up with incessant, serial destruction of our rose crops by monkeys we have ripped out all the rose plants and completely re-designed the garden. We are very pleased with the cumulative effect of all these changes.
