Indian Chameleon (Chameleo zeylanicus) on a granite block.
The first thing that struck me was that this guy looks like a 'mosaic' of tiny colored pebbles - hence the caption : )
The Indian eagle-owl, also called the rock eagle-owl or Bengal eagle-owl (Bubo bengalensis), is a species of large horned owl restricted to the Indian Subcontinent. They were earlier treated as a subspecies of the Eurasian eagle-owl. They are found in hilly and rocky scrub forests, and are usually seen in pairs. They have a deep resonant booming call that may be heard at dawn and dusk. They are typically large owls, and have "tufts" on their heads. They are splashed with brown and grey, and have a white throat patch with black small stripes.
This large owl with the distinctive face, large forward-facing eyes, horns and deep resonant call is associated with a number of superstitions. Like many other large owls, these are considered birds of ill omen. Their deep haunting calls if delivered from atop a house are considered to forebode the death of an occupant. A number of rituals involving the capture and killing of these birds have been recorded. Salim Ali notes a wide range of superstitions related to them but notes two as being particularly widespread. One is that if the bird is starved for a few days and beaten, it would speak like a human, predicting the future of the tormentor or bringing them wealth while the other involves the killing of the bird to find a lucky bone that moved against the current like a snake when dropped into a stream.Belief in these superstitions has led to the persecution of the species in many areas by tribal hunters. The capture of these birds is illegal under Indian law but an underground market continues to drive poaching.

I had a lot of photography planned for the weekend, I was going to visit a few places in Wales, and then a few in Dorset. But on Wednesday I was hit with a rather nasty bout of the lurgy and didn't have the energy to do anything. So I decided to have a few days rest and not venture out with the camera.
On my way home from Dorset yesterday I stopped at Portland hoping for a decent sunset. it was extremely windy and the sunset was pretty decent so I managed to get a few photos from the visit.
My first shot is of Pulpit Rock, an old favourite, as it's such fun watching the waves crash up here. We couldn't get down to the bottom level last night as we'd have gotten soaked, and there were people silly enough to be out on the rock when some huge waves were crashing over, so we sat higher up and tried our best to get a decent shot.

“Scarlet” Pose
The sun managed to break through the cloudy sky to give some rich color to enhance the Needles and Haystack rock stacks near Cannon Beach, Oregon.
At least they are now leaving some seaweed on the beaches now - lots of foraging sites for the Rock Pipits and, hopefully for waders later on in the winter
