A chilled morning with 8 degrees, and a unbearable noon with 33 degrees
The water level in the streams are coming down day by day due to the excess heat due to which more butterflies are getting attracted towards the streams in quench of thirst and mud puddling activity in full swing.
A very abnormal day with plenty of Nymphalidae species that were seen every where in the grass lands sapping on due drops and coming down to the streams as well.
The Abnormal Silverline and other blues too made our day more fantastic.
