18 February 2024 George Town: Flowers, Birds and Morning Walks

 


To beat the heat, morning walks make the most sense.  It is an added bonus that there are more birds flying about and is is easier to stop and smell the flowers.  


Frangipani with yellow centers 


An elegant bicolored, brown and black, lesser coucal


The frangipani love this tropical climate


A female ornate sunbird


Bunches of pink flowers


A white throated kingfisher


A very large beak


Lovely old colonial houses


Great balls of flowers


A heron in the mud flat


Pink but no fragrance


The striated heron


Red Hibiscus


A coppersmith barbet


Normal flow of water in the drains


After a brief rain


During a heavy rain


Spidery blooms


I believe that this may be a dead bat


Flowers in our complex


Grasshoppers hopping on


Yellow hibiscus


One of the temples


So pretty


Catching some fish


Serious fish catching goes on here
