Kaziranga is a vast expanse of tall elephant grass, marshland, and dense tropical moist broadleaf forests, criss-crossed by four major rivers, including the Brahmaputra, and the park includes numerous small bodies of water. Kaziranga has been the theme of several books, songs, and documentaries. The park celebrated its centennial in 2005 after its establishment in 1905 as a reserve forest. (Wikipedia)

One of the trails through the forests of Kaziranga. You never know what youll find around the bend - birds, wetlands or even rhinos and elephants. A most amazing place.

Last spring, I spotted these delicate little flowers on a neighbourhood walk and wasn't quite sure what they were. After a bit of research, I discovered they're Wild Tulips (Tulipa sylvestris). Not native to my area, I'm quite sure that the homeowner must have planted them as specimen plants. I don't know if they'll overwinter, so it'll be interesting to see if they appear next spring. If you're interested, here's a bit of info on this flower:

 

"Tulipa sylvestris, the wild tulip[3] or woodland tulip,[4] is a Eurasian and North African species of wild tulip, a plant in the lily family. Its native range extends from Portugal and Morocco to western China, covering most of the Mediterranean and Black Sea Basins, and Central Asia. The species is also cultivated as an ornamental and naturalized in central and northern Europe as well as a few scattered locations in North America.[2][5]"

Clicked at the Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary, this large wading bird in the Stork family is found mainly in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Their name is derived from the distinctive gap formed between the recurved lower and arched upper mandible of the beak in adult birds. The cutting edges of the mandible have a fine brush like structure that is thought to give them better grip on the shells of snails. The usual foraging habitats are inland wetlands and are only rarely seen along river banks and tidal flats. On agricultural landscapes, birds forage in crop fields, irrigation canals, and in seasonal marshes. Groups may forage together in close proximity in shallow water or marshy ground on which they may walk with a slow and steady gait. They feed mainly on large molluscs separating the shell from the body of the snail using the tip of their beak.

Thanks to everyone for your faves and kind comments!

Kopi luwak is traditionally made from the faeces of wild civets, however, due to it becoming a trendy drink, civets are being increasingly captured from the wild and fed coffee beans to mass-produce this blend. Many of these civets are housed in battery cage systems which have been criticised on animal welfare grounds. The impact of the demand for this fashionable coffee on wild palm civet populations is yet unknown but may constitute a significant threat. In Indonesia, the demand for Asian palm civets appears to be in violation of the quota set for pets.

 

Le Kopi Luwak est traditionnellement fabriqué à partir des excréments de civettes sauvages. Cependant, comme il est devenu une boisson à la mode, les civettes sont de plus en plus capturées dans la nature et nourries avec des grains de café pour produire en masse ce mélange. Beaucoup de ces civettes sont hébergées dans des systèmes de cages en batterie qui ont été critiquées pour des raisons de bien-être animal. L'impact de la demande de ce café à la mode sur les populations de civettes de palmiers sauvages est encore inconnu mais peut constituer une menace importante. En Indonésie, la demande de civettes asiatiques semble violer les quotas fixés pour les animaux de compagnie.

Happy and peaceful Easter to all my friends !

I like the Chinese name of this bird that means"bird of peace"

Thank you for your faves and comments...
