Wildlife Update

I never realise how long I leave it between posts sometimes!! Over the past couple of weeks I've been really busy at work so the photography has taken a back seat. I'd been hoping to catch up over the past weekend but rain stopped play (as it will do in the rainy season of a tropical country!). So this is a collection of photos from a couple of weekends ago, when an afternoon by the pool turned all zoological!
A couple of Fantails came down to the pool...diving in for a bit of a bath
And having a good old show-off
Then the Scaly Breasted Munia showed up. We'd known they had a nest in the tree for some time, and even heard the young as the adults nipped inside. But this time we caught them in the act. Two of the male standing watch and one of the female about to enter the nest...
And to finish off today's short blog...I finally got a few photos of some of the squirrels here. They vary in colour (this one is a red morph) and they remind me more of the north American grey squirrels than the european squirrels. The photos are heavily cropped (300mm lens taken across a pool and a road!) but at least I got something
