Seen an Asian Fairy bluebird & a Draco ??

Nana had some work in Kumta, Uttara Kannada. Since i had a week off from school mum & myself joined him for a couple of days.

While walking in a farm suddenly mum called out & said Hey look : Its an Asian Fairy bluebird.

There were two of them, so for the first time i could see these beautiful birds up close. Though i had seen then in a distance in Thatekkad.

Then we saw this amazing gliding Lizard, Draco :

It goes up a coconut tree then checks out for small insects while on the way top, then glides to the bottom of the next tree to repeat the process.............. amazing.

We also enjoyed the beauty of the Aghanashini river.

The Kumta beach was also nice & quiet. The waves were also not rough, so i could play a lot in the water, plus there were some rocks to climb.




Saw a lot of Brahminy Kites & Sandpipers. Also lots of big size live Crabs on the rocks.
