Boat trip with the Brownies Troop
«Shubho Nobo Borsho, Tomar are Tomake» - a very happy new year to you and yours. Today is Pohela Baishakh - Bengali New Year - 1st day of month Baishakh and year 1414.
We drove to Saint Nicholas High School in Nagori village, from where we took a boat trip on the Turag river, then a long walk through some villages and St. Augustine's Church in Mothbari village. back to the boat, with a big appetite for lunch on-board.
Things we saw and found along the way - one of the several flattened dead frogs that were found, pried off the tarmac and brought back carefully [the girls decided it was going to be their Mascot!]. A butterfly [looks like a Holly Blue, Celastrina argiolus. Can anyone help confirm?] everyone wanted to catch. Got a photo before it was chased away. A plump pumpkin, for lunch? Kingfishers [White-throated kingfisher, Halcyon smyrnensis; and the smaller Common kingfisher, Alcedo atthis]. The inevitable brick kiln.
