I claim no fame to being able to recognise these beasts of the skies and the land, I guess my animal loving stops at the BBQ pit. Our guide though was a mine of information and spotting skills, so reliant on his knowledge, and that of a twitcher in the group here are some creatures. There will be no references made to Chipolte seasoning rub nor mango lime and chilli relish.

There were a lot of these Kites about, primarily scavengers, feasting on dead fish and crabs, the Sundarbans, an excellent area for them to habit.

Grey heron

An Apex predator, this bird is common across many parts of the world. Roasted heron was once a culinary delight, a prized dish; George Neville the Archbishop of York, UK in 1465, served up 400 herons to the guests at his inauguration

Rhesus macaque

A vegetarian creature, the closest primate to ourselves has resulted in cheap and easy upkeep in laboratories for medical experiments.

Adult males are pretty voracious lounge lizards, not fussed about the breeding season, looking to engage in rumpty pumpty with females wherever, whenever. The lady monkeys though do prefer to get it on with males that are not familiar to them. Happy swinging folks.
