April 2019

April started off in rather spectacular fashion when a Waterspout appeared near Coco’s beach. It came ashore and did some damage but was spectacular while it lasted. I went down to the area a few hours afterwards and the skies were still quite angry.

Coco and I often walk the beach when the sun is rising and there are some spectacularly colourful scenes.

The month has been reasonably wet and I need to check the weather radar before venturing out. The results have been mixed on the photographic front. At Air Hitam the owls resumed their nesting after the lizard attack but unfortunately the lizards raided the nest again. It appears the owls have now moved elsewhere. 

It appeared to have been a bad choice to nest in that location as the lizards have a base further down the tree.

There is an interesting and diverse range of subjects that appear from time to time at the location.

Not far away the Bee-eaters are busy digging nests currently and are spread around the whole area that was once a motocross track. One male has been busy bringing his partner edible presents.

Nikki arrived last Saturday on her way to England and Scotland. It is really good to catch up on her work. My trip to Fraser’s Hill fell though for many reasons beyond my control.  Nikki had arranged to take Helen to Bangkok for a night to go to a classy restaurant that lived up to its rating with a 25 course meal.

On the pub quiz front we started with two wins but members of the team have gone to various points on the globe and the reduced team has struggled. Nikki was with Helen and I last week and we did OK but not in the medals. There were no rounds on Medicine.
