A shikra (female) hidden in the dense canopy on a neighbourhood street on my morning walk yesterday
A three-striped palm squirrel absolutely still basking in the sun on the trunk of a largish neem tree
A large Peepal with mostly unripe and a few ripe fruits. Not much bird activity in yet

There are many Drumstick trees (Moringa oleifera) in my neighbourhood, in people's gardens or in empty plots. Love drumsticks. Now the fruits are ripe but most are also flowering. Love drumsticks, must plant one in my garden.
The Lagerstroemia are not in flower any more, most trees are now heavily laden with unripe fruits, and this one had an old dehisced ripe fruit, possibly from the previous year.
As I am more home bound since last year, been watching, documenting and photographing the plants in our neighbourhood, and noting how they change as the seasons go by, who flowers and fruits when, which species flower at the same time...
Learning of some I did not know - both native and non-native and whether any birds or other animals use them
