Nature Quest: The blue-eared kingfisher

I do not feel surprised to see a bird because born and brought up in Barisal, I am used to bird-watching every day. Since my childhood, I'm used to watching what birds do, what they eat, where they make nests, how they sleep, why they feel panic seeing humans and so on. However, those thoughts have not stopped yet.

Walking in Madhupur National Park is an activity I recommend to anyone weary of Dhaka and looking for a respite from it. The road to Madhupur is good albeit a little bumpy in places. From the capital you can reach there in about three hours. The forest department has an office at the entrance.

Nature Quest: Into the magic, mystique of Hail Haor

The sun was still far above the horizon, casting its deep copper light over the land. We walked down a narrow, dusty earthen village road with green rice fields on both sides. A farmer with his last load of the day, or a farmer's wife carrying a late lunch to her husband, who is out working on the fields. The magnificent light making those mundane images almost magical!

DHAKA 100 YEARS AGO

Dhaka in mid-1900s was not a great place to be. The glorious Mughal ways of life had by then waned away, replaced through numerous years of colonial British rule. Even half a century ago from that time, one could relish in those traditions and practices.

Nature Quest: Sakhina may not become mom this time

To the frustration of forestry officials it seems that Sakhina, a resident crocodile of Tengrariri reserve forest in Barguna's Taltali upazila, will not become a mother this year. One of the three original crocodilian residents of the reproduction centre at the reserve, Sakhina raised great hopes in the last week of June this year when she laid her first clutch of 25 eggs.
