The beautiful Nandi hills,..if only outsiders and visitors cared a little about this spectacular place and stopped littering,smoking ,boozing and turning it into a drug fest.
Whoever is from Bangalore and sees my pictures ,kindly make an active effort not to litter.
Thank you.
White stork Ciconia ciconia, adult with chick at treetop nest during reintroduction, Knepp Wildland, West Sussex, UK, May
Beautiful sunny skies today~~the woodlands were alive with color. The White Oak overhead slowly transitioning from green to red while the hickory to the left glowed bright yellow.
Lots of people walking through a strip of "show bag" stands. I don't quite get this "show bag" concept. It's like, these pre-made, themed bags of souvenirs and candy are available to buy everywhere. EVERYWHERE. It seems like that would take the fun out of picking and choosing the things one likes? Maybe it makes it easier on parents? It's also pretty wasteful. Do they have something like this in the States and I've just forgotten about it? Anyway, I did not get a show bag. :-)

I'm happy that we were here during the summer. I don't think the area would look nearly as pretty in the winter.

From Wikipedia: Crown shyness (also canopy disengagement, canopy shyness or intercrown spacing) is a phenomenon observed in some tree species, in which the crowns of fully stocked trees do not touch each other, forming a canopy with channel-like gaps.

==> JULY-2020: Steven W. Brewer and I HAD THOUGHT this is Cynometra bauhiniifolia. In April 2020 we found a number of individuals in the same locale with laterally compressed fruit, like my March 2016 photos.
In June Steven W. Brewer returned to trees he collected specimens from in April and found the fruit significantly more developed, mature. Steven NOW believes this is NOT C. bauhiniifolia, but a Cynometra species yet to be determined.

Description
The Purple Hairstreak is our commonest Hairstreak but is not often noticed. Males have a purple upper wings whereas females have just a purple patch. The underwings are similar in both sexes, being lilac-brown crossed by a white 'hair-streak' and with an orange eye-spot next to a small tail streamer.

Found around oak trees. It is often difficult to locate, due to its habit of flying in the tree canopy; however, the adults are occasionally seen basking at lower levels, on various small trees, shrubs and bracken.
When to see it
July and August
Life History
The adults feed on honeydew in the tree canopy and the larvae feed on oak buds.
On a blustery fall day, 60 volunteers gathered in Earl Bales Park to mulch trees, pick up litter and receive tips from health care professionals.
LEAF led 25 volunteers on a tree tour where we tasted black walnut butter, learned how to distinguish between a red, sugar and Norway maple and got up close and personal with the dreaded Emerald ash borer beetle.
Friends of Earl Bales solicited new volunteers for their spring Adopt-A-Park-Tree program. For more information, contact earlbales.friends@gmail.com
