Naturalist

I am now officially a member of the Madras Naturalists' Society (www.blackbuck.org.in). Joined up at the MNS' monthly meeting (2nd Sunday of every month) under the banyan at The School, KFI. I have missed two big events this year - the Chennai Bird Race and the 'deer counting' at the Guindy National Park. But no matter, there will be more races and countings to be done.

Add on to my bird list for the year: a Crow Pheasant and two pairs of Hoopoes. Also confirmed to myself that what I had seen at home earlier was indeed a Treepie.
