Freeloader

Not technically belonging in this blog since this picture was taken in my kitchen. Poor Tom-Tom is overwhelmed. I'm considering acquiring a python to help him in his task (nah, just kidding!).

Cobra scare at home

This morning I had some people round to remove a pile of dry wood and bamboo from a corner of my compound when the workers started shouting snake, snake. They proceeded to beat it on the head with a 2*4. I can't blame them for the loss of wildlife, considering it was a Black-necked spitting cobra (Naja nigricollis, Cobra cracheur à cou noir).

Blue-bellied roller

I saw this bird at the exact same spot several times. Today I had my camera with me, and it was nice enough to give me lots of time to take a lot of pictures.

Meet the Blue-bellied roller (Coracias cyanogaster, Rollier à ventre bleu). 

  

I feel so privileged to live in this beautiful place, and enjoy such a diverse fauna.

Tenant has left without forwarding address

I've been wanting to take such a picture for a while; the opportunity knocked at my door today, so to speak. This was taken in my garden this morning.
