King Fisher Fishing
Monday, March 4th, 2024 at 23:05:26
This is 5 photos composited in photoshop. This tiny bird was repeatedly fishing (dumb fish) so I shot on each flight. Too bad I don't own a 1500mm lens.
Species: Alcedo atthis (European Kingfisher, Common Kingfisher)

Egret Fishing
Monday, March 4th, 2024 at 23:05:15
The black bill and legs and yellow feet make this a Little Egret in my book. This dull yellow feet make this look like a juvenile to me.
Species: Egretta garzetta (Little Egret)

Two Skinks In Woodpile Hg
Monday, March 4th, 2024 at 22:56:21
We saw a total of three skinks in this area. The suspicion is that it is mating time.
Species: Eumeces chinensis chinensis (Chinese Skink)

Crimson Marsh Glider, Female
Monday, March 4th, 2024 at 22:56:12
BC Dragonflies don't have a lot of sexual dimorphism that I have seen - sometimes one is 10% larger and the tail tip area is sometimes different, but otherwise similar. Crimson Marsh Gliders are quite different colours - Crimson (red) for the males, this brownish orange for the females.
Species: Trithemis aurora (crimson marsh glider, Crimson Dropwing)

Orange Dragonfly From Below
Monday, March 4th, 2024 at 22:55:57
This Dragonfly is hard to identify. It might be a Russet Percher (recently emerged).

Common Tiger
Monday, March 4th, 2024 at 22:55:46
I saw four different kinds of "Tigers" today - characterized by the dark black stripes on either a light or orange background.
Species: Danaus genutia (common tiger)

Plain Tiger
Monday, March 4th, 2024 at 22:55:35
I think there are dark spots on the hind wings here, but the hind wings are hidden.
Species: Danaus chrysippus (plain tiger)

Blue Tiger
Monday, March 4th, 2024 at 22:55:25
At first I didn't realize there there were a variety of "Tiger"'s - Black with light colours. The reserve had a sign showing a few of the species - Ceylon Blue, Blue, Dark Blue, Glassy and more. I tried harder to take photos of each one I saw.
Species: Tirumala limniace (blue tiger)

Paris Peacock Feeding
Monday, March 4th, 2024 at 22:55:11
This individual has had a rough life - he is missing parts of his wing. The green dots covering the wings really stand out in direct sunlight.
Species: Papilio paris (Paris peacock)

Great Egg-fly In Bright Light
Monday, March 4th, 2024 at 22:55:01
This is a somewhat shaky identification - I believe the white spots on the wings are either overwhelmed by the blue or just worn off. I have a poor photo of the underside of the wing - it better matches (but still worn) Great Egg-fly.

In this species the male and female don't look anything alike.

Species: Hypolimnas bolina (great eggfly)

White Dragontail
Monday, March 4th, 2024 at 22:54:48
These were quite common in the day - we saw them in both locations, but they never stopped moving! Only late in the afternoon did they stop to feed, but they often kept beating their wings even when they standing on their legs.
Species: Lamproptera curius (White Dragontail)

Purple Sapphire
Monday, March 4th, 2024 at 22:54:36
These are small butterflies, but this particular one was very patient with me being close by. It has a beautiful purple dorsal side, but it didn't show it to me.
Species: Heliophorus epicles (purple sapphire)

Three-Spot Grass Yellow
Monday, March 4th, 2024 at 22:54:21
Sometimes I took a dozen photos of an individual before it flew. This butterfly I have only a single photo of - and it was gone.
Species: Eurema blanda (three-spot grass yellow)

Lemon Pansy Underside
Monday, March 4th, 2024 at 22:54:07
It's amazing to me how different the underside (ventral view, looking at the animals belly) is from the topside (dorsal, the animals back) of this species. I initially thought this was two species until I reviewed the photos and found I had a series of photos of the butterfly flapping it's wings.
Species: Junonia lemonias (lemon pansy)

Changeable Lizard Male Breeding
Monday, March 4th, 2024 at 22:52:55
This Lizard was really out in the open and larger than others I have seen of this species. He paused on the step and then was gone.
Species: Calotes versicolor (changeable lizard, Oriental garden lizard)

Russet Percher
Monday, March 4th, 2024 at 22:51:39
This was probably the easiest species to photograph - long perching times and quite striking colours compared to the background.
Species: Neurothemis fulvia (Fulvous Forest Skimmer, Russet Percher)
