Heading south

Well, I hoped to update the blog while in bangalore, but after a hectic two days of simply unpacking, regouping, checking mail, etc. we are headed south again - this time to the Anamalais in the souther part of the Western Ghats. The monsoons have just begun to set over the coast and there have been some heavy showers inland. When these first downpours touch ground, the leaf litter just comes to life. Amongst the millions of leeches you will also find a dazzling variety of colourful frogs! And that's what I'm after...in particular one extraordinary frog whose name is quite a mouthful - Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis.
Ok gtg - will update soon!

Cheers
Sandesh

Hey Sandesh,
