anna_wingThe new-season red-whiskered bulbul, now adultish, has been spotted! It's still alive!
Mango season is ending, we are now getting the tail-end varieties. The freezer is being restocked with the makings of the coming year's mango ice-cream supply. The citrons on the tree are getting bigger, and one appears to be ripening, which is several months early, but what with climate change and all, seasons are no longer as regular and predictable as they used to be.
The Default Dog family outside my office building has six puppies, whom we count anxiously every day. The local stray dogs are basically urban dingoes - light brown, medium-sizd, slim, sharp-muzzled, prick-eared, often curly-tailed. What you get when you stop trying to maintain pure breeding types. Similarly, the local stray cats are basically the Default Cat (Oriental Type) - slim, long bodies, legs and tails, sharp muzzled and coat-wise mostly variations on the theme of tabby. Though there's one who looks as if there was some Siamese in its ancestry, apart from a long, ringed tail, and one that has some of the stockier, black-and-white type in him as well.
All the dogs in the city tend to howl in unison at some point between midnight and 1 am every night.
