Oriental White-eye

Oriental White-eye.

The white eye is quite uncommon in these regions. It is mostly found in wooded areas and feeds on fruits and berries.
As the name suggests, it has a white circular band surrounding its eyes and thus is easily recognizable.

Use less plastic:
Here is an incident which highlights the need for change in attitude of the educated, well-to-do  class of people regarding the use (misuse) of plastic. On my weekend visit to a shopping mall, the gentleman ahead of me made his purchases with his credit card. Upon being asked whether he requires a plastic carry-bag or not, (these are now chargeable due a recent notification from the Indian government), he commented that he would take one and did not mind paying for it. We can only hope that this will change over a period of time and slowly, but surely there will be reduction in usage of plastic bags. Ultimately, conservation of the environment depends on our attitudes towards nature. It is only by changing ourselves that we can take that first step forward to a better world.
