So I’m trying to work in my den, and in walks a neighbour’s cat. I shoo it out.
And some time later in walks another cat. I shoo that one out.
And then I become aware of mysterious noises. Soft thuds and rattles. So I think: cat.
Every time I leave my den to investigate I can’t see anything. Until, eventually, I realise the garden is being bombed … by honey guavas, hundreds of them, falling from the sky, rattling through the leaves and thudding to the ground like pink grenades:
And here is one of the culprits: a long-tailed macaque. There were two of them, one with a very young baby. And the rain of guavas continued until they spotted me and my camera. Oh, and they were aided and abetted in their theft by a grey-bellied squirrel…
OK, back to work.
If I had to be interrupted at work, I'd rather it was by such a disturbance than, say, a phone call!
I agree Satima. What a way to live with so many different birds and animals right round you.
