RED-VENTED BULBUL, Pycnonotus Cafer (Linnaeus). I photographed this bird at the Chintamani Kar Bird Sanctuary, Kolkata’s Little Secret. You can see it’s website at: http://www.kolkatabirds.com/ckbs.htm I identified it with several books including From “The Book of Indian Birds Salim Ali and “A Photographic Guide to Birds of Bangladesh” by Ronald R. Halder. One of my friends is a friend of Ron, and has at least one photo in Harder’s book. The book by Halder I have is actually an autographed copy I borrowed from a friend.
ANTIQUE COINS FOR SALE NEAR NEW MARKET, KOLKATA, INDIA. Collecting coins is a cheap way to bring home a souvenir from other countries. I have bought some while in Darjeeling, India but didn’t buy any of these. Are there any of my friends who collect coins? It is interesting how the coins are displayed in an artistic manner. I see the same thing in vegetable and fruit stalls. There is nothing random in the way the product is displayed. It’s like a work of art. I like it. I know I have a stamp collecting friend in Sioux Lookout, Ontario!!
