Well this will be my penultimate post, yes the Olympics are almost ready. Judging by the current British weather everything is set! All of this means I've only got three weeks left in India, again another year whizzes by. All good blogs should have a wildlife entry - and so should mine, so here goes:
Languishing langur monkeys near Tamana (on my way to school)
Harmless sand boa snake - on my way back from the mess at night
Common macaque monkeys raid the office for mangoes
Large "hand size" beetles make an appearance at night after the rains
It turns out to be a rather venomous common krait snake (top four killer)
Not really Orissa - Macaque from Tamil Nadu enjoying a coconut
Friendly lizard from Puri
A chameleon lizard from our mess, moments later it turned black
Rather a large golden orb silk spider, directly outside the office
One of the many butterflies
Now we're talking, scorpion season has started again - they're everywhere
I've also seen silver jackals on my ride back from school, peacocks & hens, large fruit bats and a mongoose or two. Still to see a sloth bear, elephant (wild) or leopard!
