Adventures Into The Wild

This post is from my birds in my back yard page,however I felt the Barn Owl deserved its own post.I shall update this post with further pictures of the owl. The Barn Owl is the most widely distributed owl in the world. I often hear it screeching but rarely get to see it. It is predominantly brown and white however the brown part of the owl has black spots on it. Owl update  : The owl has begun living in my building shafts and seems to be a juvenile. the owl is often seen by me either early morning or late evening.  Saw the owl at about 6:30 am one morning allowing me to get a clear shot of it.

On the way to Kabini we stopped at Srirangapatna to see the Blue-tailed bee-eaters. The bee -eater was a beautiful bird and it was very exciting to see it up close.

The first stage is Unconscious Incompetence - This is when one does not know they are doing something wrong. The second stage is Conscious incompetence - In this stage one realises they are doing something wrong and one strives to make it right. The third stage is Conscious competence   - This is when one has to make effort to do the  task they strive to achieve perfectly. The last stage is Unconscious competence - This is when the task one is trying  to achieve  comes naturally without effort.this can only be achieved with practice.

Tigers are the largest members of the cat family. Tiger stripes are like fingerprints  and unique to each one of them. The roar of a Bengal tiger can carry for over 2km at night. Tigers are good swimmers and often cool off in lakes. There were once nine subspecies of tigers: Now only 6 remain. The white tiger has become even rarer in the wild due to trophy hunting or capture for the exotic pet trade. We have lost 97% of the wild tiger population in the last century.
