The Kite flew over!


MVI_2140 by syluette

The Black Kite (Milvus migrans) is a medium-sized bird of prey. It spends a lot of time soaring and gliding in search of food. Their angled wing and distinctive forked tail make them easy to identify.They will swoop down with their legs lowered to snatch small live prey. They are opportunist hunters and have been known to take fish,birds, bats and rodents.

Butterfly or Moth?

Moths fly at night and lack clubs at the end of their antennae.Butterflies are mostly brightly colored day-flying insects with long clubbed antennae. They were named so because it was thought that butterflies, or witches that took on the shape of butterflies, stole milk and butter. (Someone else wondered if the word was really meant to be "flutter-by" ).
Still not sure if you’re looking at a moth or a butterfly? Then take a look at its wings when it comes to rest. Moths rest with their wings stretched out, but butterflies rest with their wings folded up.

Colorful classroom

One can hardly get to see such a colorful classroom these days. Children dressed in their traditional attire trooped into the classroom for the fancy dress competition to celebrate our country's independence day. We had loads of fun singing and dancing to the glory of India all through. No books today! only fun and games!
