The Dingy Bushbrown (Mycalesis perseus) is a species of satyrine butterfly found in South Asia and Southeast Asia. On the upperside, the wings are dark grayish brown with a large but obscure ocellus on the forewing. The male has a small, dark brown sex brand in the space of the forewing and another on the hindwing overlaid with a pale yellow hair tuft. Adults fly low in and around grassy patches at several locations across the island. As with other Satyrinae members, the adults fly in an erratic and jerky manner as their wings are closed for a relatively long period during flights. A Dingy Bushbrown (Mycalesis perseus) or Common Bushbrown butterfly is camouflaged like a dry leaf in a forest in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on October 9, 2024.

The Asian openbill or Asian openbill stork (Anastomus oscitans) is a large wading bird in the stork family Ciconiidae. This distinctive stork is found mainly in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is greyish or white with glossy black wings and tail, and the adults have a gap between the arched upper mandible and recurved lower mandible. Young birds are born without this gap, which is thought to be an adaptation that aids in the handling of snails, their main prey. Although they are resident within their range, they make long-distance movements in response to weather and food availability. This photo was taken at a wetland in Kaliganj, West Bengal, India, on 17/02/2024.
