I had not seen these guys on my previous visits. I was tent camping, and they came out of the jungle late one evening.
I really enjoyed watching these guys and gals. The big male was playing with his offspring.
Endangered species.

Tragulus javanicus ♂
This small animal is about the same size as a rabbit and is the smallest living artiodactyl (even-toed ungulate).
Found throughout Malaysia, Cambodia, south-western China, Indonesia, Borneo, Laos, Myanmar, Singapore, and Thailand, they are active primarily at night, hence the huge eyes.
This species is hunted for its smooth skin, which is used for the production of leather goods such as wallets and handbags.
Hunting along with habitat destruction has resulted in the species being classified as Threatened.
Despite its name it is neither a mouse nor a deer.
Killing time in the LOS. On a side note. I am starting to use the 300mm lens more and more. With the AF of the IV it really makes this lens a pleasure to use.

White-Breasted Waterhen
The white-breasted waterhen (Amaurornis phoenicurus) is a waterbird of the rail and crake family, Rallidae, that is widely distributed across Southeast Asia and the Indian Subcontinent. They are dark slaty birds with a clean white face, breast and belly. They are somewhat bolder than most other rails and are often seen stepping slowly with their tail cocked upright in open marshes or even drains near busy roads. They are largely crepuscular in activity and during the breeding season, just after the first rains, make loud and repetitive croaking calls.
Adult white-breasted waterhens have mainly dark grey upperparts and flanks, and a white face, neck and breast. The lower belly and undertail are cinnamon coloured. The body is flattened laterally to allow easier passage through the reeds or undergrowth. They have long toes, a short tail and a yellow bill and legs. Sexes are similar but females measure slightly smaller. Immature birds are much duller versions of the adults. The downy chicks are black, as with all rails.
Several subspecies are named for the populations that are widely distributed. The nominate subspecies is described from Sri Lanka but is often widened to include chinensis of mainland India and adjoining regions in Asia, west to Arabia and east nearly to Japan. The remaining subspecies are those from islands and include insularis of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, midnicobaricus of the central Nicobars, leucocephala of Car Nicobar, maldivus of the Maldives, javanicus of Java and leucomelanus of Sulawesi and the Lesser Sundas.
Their breeding habitat is marshes across south Asia from Pakistan, Maldives, India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka to south China, Philippines, and Indonesia. They are mainly seen in the plains but have been known from the higher hills such as in Nainital (1300m) and the High Range (1500m) in Kerala. These large 32 cm long rails are permanent residents throughout their range. They make short distance movements and are known to colonize new areas. They have been noted as some of the early colonizers on the volcanic island of Rakata. Although most often found near freshwater, they are also found near brackish water and even the seashore when there is no freshwater as on the volcanic Barren Island in the Andamans.
These birds are usually seen singly or in pairs as they forage slowly along the edge of a waterbody mainly on the ground but sometimes clambering up low vegetation. The tail is held up and jerked as they walk. They probe with their bill in mud or shallow water, also picking up food by sight. They mainly eat insects (large numbers of beetles have been recorded), small fish (which are often carefully washed in water), aquatic invertebrates and grains or seeds such as those of Pithecolobium dulce. They may sometimes feed in deeper water in the manner of a moorhen.
The nesting season is mainly June to October but varies locally. They nest in a dry location on the ground in marsh vegetation, laying 6-7 eggs. Courtship involves bowing, billing and nibbling. The eggs hatch in about 19 days. Both sexes incubate the eggs and take care of the chicks. Chicks often dive underwater to escape predation. Adults are said to build a roost or brood nest where young chicks and the adults roost.
Many rails are very secretive, but white-breasted waterhens are often seen out in the open. They can be noisy especially at dawn and dusk, with loud croaky calls. The Andamans population insularis is said to make duck like quack calls
The first thing when i spotted this bird, i was very confused between a bald headed vulture and stork.
The Lesser Adjutant, Leptoptilos javanicus, is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. It is a widespread species which is resident breeder in southern Asia from India east to southern China and Java.
This is a huge bird, typically 110-120 cm (43-48 in) tall, weighing about 5 kg (11 lbs) and has a 210 cm (83 in) wingspan. It is, however, the smallest member of the Leptoptilos genus. Its upper body and wings are black, but the belly and undertail are white. The head and neck are bare like those of a vulture. The pale bill is long and thick. Juveniles are a duller version of the adult.
Most storks fly with neck outstretched, but the three Leptoptilos species retract their neck in flight like a heron.
The Lesser Adjutant breeds in wetlands in tropical lowland. It builds a stick nest in trees. It often forms small colonies.
The Lesser Adjutant, like most of its relatives, feeds mainly on frogs and large insects, but also small birds, reptiles and rodents. It will also eat carrion, for which its bare head and neck is an adaptation.
We were a little late in leaving Minneriya and the light had almost gone when we past this Lesser Adjutant settling down to roost.

Celebration of World Migratory Bird Day 2012
Migratory birds and people - together through time
An Event Report
of
Himalayan Nature
Background
Birds have always been a great source of inspiration for people all over the world and throughout time. They have fascinated all kinds of people from passionate naturalist, artist, writers and even kids as well. Different aspects of birds such as colourful feathers, brilliant songs and their ability to fly across the globe are all incredible to the earth. For many bird species migration is an essence to survive although its a terrifying journey with wide range of threats. In comparison to the natural threats, human derived activities are the major source for most dangers migrating birds are exposed to.
Nepal has long been known as a home for a wide variety of birds and so far a total of 871 species have been recorded so far. A large number of these are resident but there are also many that migrate over and through the Himalayas. Nepal is enriched by both long distance and altitudinal migrants. Birds in Nepal are facing several threats namely exploitation caused by encroachment for settlement, agriculture, grazing, poaching. Poaching remains widely practiced in the country since the people are highly dependent on biodiversity for their livelihoods.
World Migratory Bird Day is a global annual initiative to celebrate migratory birds and to promote their conservation worldwide. As its regular event celebrations, Himalayan Nature (HN) celebrated the global awareness campaign from 12th to 19th May 2012 for the continuing relationship between migratory birds and people. HN organized bird watching programs and conducting school awareness programs with the theme Migratory birds and people - together through time. During education awareness programme, our team shared knowledge on birds with the highlight on the need for the protection of migratory birds and their habitats.
Program localities
Kosi Bird Observatory (KBO), Koshi, east Nepal, the First Bird Observatory and Field Education Centre in Nepal
Himalayan Nature has set up Nepal's first bird observatory Kosi Bird Observatory, the first Bird Observatory and Field Education Centre in Nepal, is situated to the north of Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve. KBO acts as a training and research center for wetland and grassland studies. It is flanked by two Important Bird Areas, Dharan Forests to the east and Koshi Tappu and Koshi Barrage to the south. Most importantly it lies in an ideal place for studying Nepal's birds at a point where the mighty Koshi river finally opens out after completing many meanders through the high mountains and hills of Nepal. The site is now, in essence, a mini bird reserve complementing the conservation efforts achieved by the Government of Nepal when Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve was established to protect the rich natural heritage further down river. The team at KBO led by Mr Sanjiv Acharya, field assistant undertook bird watching and education awareness programme in and around Dharan forest and Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve.
Lumbini, Central Nepal
As in the previous year's celebration, bird watching and bird count were organized in the sacred pond around Maya Devi Temple, along the north of Tellar River and Gaidahawa Lake of Lumbini. HN team at Lumbini conducted bird watching activities in Lumbini including Gaidahawa Lake, a key biodiversity area (KBA). Gaidahawa Lake is an important breeding site for Sarus Crane Grus antigone and Lesser Adjutant Leptoptilos javanicus and also serves as a habitat for a small resident and wintering population of several species of water birds. Besides bird watching activities, our field ornothologist, Mr Dinesh Giri conducted awareness activities on birds and their habitat conservation among the students of local private and government schools.
Results
A total of 48 species were recorded during the program period that was started from 7 am to 11 am in the morning.
The most abundant species was Blue-tailed Bee-eater followed by Common Coot, Intermediate Egret, Green Bee-eater and Asian Openbill.( Fig: 1)

Small Asian Mongoose (Herpestes javanicus), Okinawa, Japan.
The small Asian mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) is a species of mongoose found in the wild in South and Southeast Asia. It has also been introduced to various parts of the world. The western subspecies group is sometimes treated as a separate species, the Indian mongoose or small Indian mongoose (Herpestes palustris).
The mongoose was introduced onto Okinawa Island in 1910 and Amami Ōshima Island in 1979 in an attempt to control the population of venomous snakes (habu (波布?)) and other pests; an invasive species, they have since become pests themselves.

Bird: Banded Broadbill (Eurylaimus javanicus).
SP 812
Mongooses were introduced to Hawaii in 1883 in an ill-advised attempt to control the burgeoning rat population in agricultural sugar cane fields. Mongooses have not significantly impacted the rat population, because the former are active mostly during the day while the latter are active mostly at night. Negative impacts of the introduced Mongoose include predation on native birds and contamination of steams with bacteria causes leptospirosis in mammals including humans, birds, amphibians, and reptiles. This shy Mongoose was photographed at the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden along the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii.
