It was a pleasure to go birding with Ronald Halder, James Pender, and a professor from the university.  I also verified the bird in the book Ronald gave me, A Photographic Guide to BIRDS OF BANGLADESH.

YES, I FELL AND CRACKED THE GLASS BAD ON THE UV FILTER OF MY CANON  EF 24-105 1:4 L ZOOM LENS, which was mounted on my Canon 7D camera!  I wasn’t able to tell the difference on this photo, but obviously the filter needed replacement!  Definitely minimal damage for the other options.  Removing filter and replacing it cost me 2,00o tk ($25) at Orient Cameras & Photos in Plaza A.R. on Mirpur Rd.

Brick Wall!

WHILE I AM FEATURING THE OUTING WITH THESE LADIES I’LL GO AHEAD AND POST THIS PHOTO!  This was taken during our stroll along Dhanmondi Lake after lunch!

It looks like a photo-op!

I HELPED THESE TWO YOUNG LADIES FIND A HANDICRAFT SHOP AND A SHOP THAT HANDLES BLOCK PRINTING SUPPLIES!  From Iqbal Rd to Farmgate to Gausia Market, Midnight Sun Restaurant and back to Iqbal Rd.  The only mishap we had was when I tripped a fell smashing to the ground with my camera in hand.  My uv filter had a ding in the side and crushed glass but my camera, the lens, and my body had no ill effects!!! A miracle at best.
