We have kids who follow our blog. Once a week we will be posting the wildlife that we have seen, just for them!
A coucal
A grey heron flying by
  And a dog catching a ride!  A myna  A rock pigeon   A cat in the leaves  A heron  An egret  A boa constrictor! (and a cobra!)  A pet monkey named Michael  A tern 
This crow really liked me - I could have reached out and touched him!
 A baby crocodile  Several cows  A water monitor  A ghost crab  One dead fish - this is the fish mentioned in my post about crows.  We also had one of these guys try to move in to our house - I chased him out of the spare bedroom where I found him busily making a nest out of the curtains. Boy, was he mad to have his new home taken from him!  A black winged butterfly spent several hours in our house, but I didn't get a picture of it. Two dead cockroaches - thank goodness! Tonight we discovered that we have a new house guest - a gecko! This is good news - it means there won't be any bugs in our home!  Finally, at the beach this afternoon, we were surrounded by thousands of tiny little fish, all scurrying to get away from the dozens of beautiful white and teal jellyfish.
