Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur, Rajasthan

Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, one of the largest and most impressive forts in India.

Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur, Rajasthan

It’s quite a hike to make your way from the old town, up through maze of walls and gateways, to the top of the fort. It is worth remembering, that some who attempted this jaunt ended up impaled on spikes, showered with boiling oil, shot with arrows, and / or hacked, cleaved or decapitated.

Beautiful small white flowers growing near the lighthouse at Cape Zanpa, but does anyone know their name?

Indian Boy – Jodhpur, Rajashtan

Spent most of my time in Jodhpur wandering through the twisting alleyways of the old city. Local kids were pretty inquisitive, so it wasn’t too difficult to get some street portraits.

….Duck

The title says it all. Name that duck.

And before you start being clever, I’d like to know the species, not Gerald or Bartholomew.

Noguchi-gera / Pryer’s Woodpecker / Sapheopipo noguchii

Female Noguchi-gera, Pryer’s Woodpecker, Sapheopipo noguchii

Up early again today. Jumped in the car and met up with birder Ichiro Kikuta to check out another family of Pryer’s Woodpeckers. It was misty and rainy, but the hole in the tree was low to the ground and close to the road. I set up the tripod in the back of the car and shot from cover out through the open window. (Jack Reacher would have approved.)

Every few minutes the female, or the more flamboyant red-capped male, would return to the nest with a beak full of insects. Ichiro said that the chicks were almost ready to fly as the parents didn’t even have to go inside to feed them.
