Sunbirds, at last
Finally! managed to get a few photos of the Sunbirds [this one is a Female. Purple Rumped - Leptocoma zeylonica ] who keep coming back to this shrub to strip off the dry stringy bark for nest-building....

This should have been a really nice shot! The Shutki / Chutki-traders [Dried fish trader] store was really interesting [and did I mention that it stank to high-heavens? yes I did], the trader had a nice face to photograph, the light was nice but low....Instead of taking my time I shot at high ISO and slow shutter without enough care. Anyway, I processed the blurred image a bit differently and came up with this version. I find it interesting. And different to my «usual» style.
A couple of images from Dhaka on July 18th.
A three-wheeler taxi driver who had stopped to get some «Jhaal Muri» [Jhaal = spicy/chili hot. Muri or Moori = puffed rice] which is a favorite local street-food/snack. JhaalMuri is a mouth watering combination of puffed rice chopped green chili onion coriander and a spicy mixture of condiments and a bit of mustard oil. All shaken up together and sold in little paper packets.
