Finally! it feels no less than an achievement to be able to click on 'New Post' this time. Its not unusual to happen this in Summer given my laptop doesn't enjoy working at high temperatures and not much possibility of photographs too, but this long gap was aided by one of the longest net outage I experienced with only few hours of working net in last three weeks. Coming to the Summer update, my fears in last update indeed came true and those rains in Summers ensured that clouds were not welcomed in time and Summer continues when it should have been Monsoon by now. and that means Birding still is all about looking out of window and talking to regular visitors and not much more. Here are some of them.
Highlight of this summer I would say are two Magpie Robin Juvs. Absolutely lovely and very playful, watching them is reward enough to not complain about the Summer.
Despite delayed monsoon, this summer fortunately wasn't too bad for us at least. One, heat was moderate and even better, it wasn't very humid - which meant we could use this time evaporative cooler to some degree. Interestingly, it wasn't just us. Being inquisitive most creature around, this squirrel also discovered its benefits. Actually cooler is not perfectly fitted and there is some leakage of cool air outside. Squirrel found that out and it regularly enjoyed cool air by positioning itself on the window appropriately.
Meanwhile, Not all directions appeared hot dry and colourless as in shots above. There were opportunities to find beauty in both shades of green and more flashy colours.
Usually its Golden Oriole that gives us company and it was around this season too. but what gave better photo opportunity was this black hooded that is not seen so regularly.
Let me conclude this collection of 'outside my window' shots and hopefully Summer has also ended with few minutes of rain today evening.
