Look, right, you try thinking of titles to rhyme with the entire Harry Potter and keep them slightly relevant to the subject matter.
So what, I don't have any pictures of a chemist in this one but come on, I've been banging on about all the lovely, freely-available valium over here for months now 
Actually that isn't quite true, it seems to be more or less limited to Goa unless you go and get a prescription, which I probably will do later today or tomorrow. I have more genuine cause for the stuff than pretty much anyone else travelling through here so stop reading at me like that! 
So the title might be more appropriate than we first thought.
And oh yes, those spammy astrological nonsense poeple have been booted out by the lovely chaps/chapesses at Blog.co.uk Three cheers for sensible thinking and the snide upsetting of ethereal pseudo-apple-carts, yay!!

We are still at the bird sanctuary and will be for a little while, which is nice 
A painted Stork all it's lonesome and, well you can see this one so I needn't go on:

It's me! And a friend:
I like to think that this is me being tongue-in-cheek but actually it was a more like turd-in-pants because we'd backed up to this guy - a sleeping 9-foot crocodile - and I had no idea, was chatting away facing the other way right up until maria or the guide made some suitable gesture to indicate my proximity to a reptilian finale.
Happily enough he was sleepy, I probably would have mentioned it if things had gone the other way, but my, I see this picture now and can't help thinking: Bloody hell I really do look like Dad sometimes, minus the grimace of course:

(Rotate this) a black & white stork standing there with an alarming similarity
to my old boss. It's the thin legs and shark's-fin knees that do it. My old boss or one of the Bash Street Kids outr of the beano, anyway

A nicely silhouetted shot of one of the islands, you can see how many pairs are hanging out even on this less densely crowded one:
A pretty featureless silhouette shot, but still, Isn't water just lovely? :
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/evilhippy/Worldwide%202/Picture143.jpg
Yes I did get a lot of photos of painted storks didn't I:

Now these two, umm, were going at it like knives, quite frankly. In public too. Disgraceful:
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/evilhippy/Worldwide%202/Picture140.jpg
I want a huge lake with little islands like this in it, nowww!!! :
And these guys? Yeah they're a must, seriously. Crocodiles are so very very cool:

Same thing with added background avians and worse lighting :

Scenic:

Some birds - plovers of some kind? Too big? - that I clearly can't recognise, in a tree, at 90 degress so get out your rotating frock and spin 'er 'round:
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/evilhippy/Worldwide%202/Picture128.jpg
Birds nesting, doing little of interest:
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/evilhippy/Worldwide%202/Picture127.jpg
Ahahahaha!! Guess what these are:
These you can see, you don't need to guess, but when was the last time (or any time) you saw a whole gang of Herons, le alone night herons, let alone nesting, eh? They're a bugger to spot in England, so I thought this was kinda novel and cool (rotate I'm afraid):
Absolutely load of the bigger, black and white storks nesting. I'll look up what species they actualy are soon, honest:
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/evilhippy/Worldwide%202/Picture124.jpg
And a sleepy crocodile, aww, isn't he swe-GNARF!LAR!!*mangle*GRAEURGH!!HRKCHUURG!!*chew*AIIIAIIII!!!!IIILLCHGGG!LLLCHK!!!*spit*UUuuuurrrrrrr.... :
Okay there is nothing OBVIOUS in the way of wildlife to see here, but it is awfuly pretty:
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/evilhippy/Worldwide%202/Picture122.jpg
Still, can you guess what they are yet? :
The low, silent menace of crocodiles at sunset.
Is it all that dark for you actually? I'm in some cheap-arsed little internet cafe (I have a thing to say about the phrase `internet cafe` by the way) for the sake of only paying Rs. 15 instead of Rs. 25 per hour and not insulting the Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys, I'm sorry, the people of France, and the monitors here are a bit crap. Everything is dark, so I hope thes eare better lit on better screens.
Anyway, stunted menacing sunset crocodiles, and all that:
Lots of shiny water - beyond that I can't see a thing; can you? :

Our friend the crocodylus humanochompus once again, in the distance, and in a pair:
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/evilhippy/Worldwide%202/Picture118.jpg
Looks a lot like an egret, although if you twist your head you get a better view (rotate it, in other words) :
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/evilhippy/Worldwide%202/Picture116.jpg
Crocs a la rocky distance:
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/evilhippy/Worldwide%202/Picture115.jpg
Gigantic creep vine a la bambeau strangleur:
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/evilhippy/Worldwide%202/Picture114.jpg
This was that first sight I got of the crocodiles - you can see why, if it didn't move a fraction over several minutes, one might reasonably assume it was a prop, part of a light-hearted attempt to mislead the gullible tourist.
I was wrong, of course, thankfully :

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/evilhippy/Worldwide%202/Picture111.jpg
Now I doubt you can see it, slippery little bugger, but I tried to catch this crimson and russet coloured little devil by stealthy stalking, whch of course didn't quite work, so he's in there for my benefit as much as anything:
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/evilhippy/Worldwide%202/Picture110.jpg
He's somewhere in the middle - yes, that tiny smudge of reddy-brown!

A small white bird in a larger brown lake. With stones, no less:
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/evilhippy/Worldwide%202/Picture108.jpg
A small black bird (a Cormorant) in brown lake with lillies:
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/evilhippy/Worldwide%202/Picture107.jpg
Spin this round for a lovely view down that man-made lake, nice trees on the left, too:
And that is it for today, PhotoBucket no longer wishes to speak to me, once again.
Toodle pip.
