The Marredpally macaques at night

The leafy and well tree'd West Marredpally in Secunderabad is home to a biggish and noisy troop of macaques that comes by our place every once in a while. There is a big and beautiful pipal tree right in front of our house, there's a chickoo tree right there and a big neem and gulmohar just by the side....just what the doctor ordered for the macaques...
Here's a few pictures in sodium vapoured glory from a few days ago.

Crossing the road...

then coming closer...

the destination is the neem tree...

...and the sights are set above...

the young ones wait on the adjoining parapet...

...and on the adjoining pillar...

...while some of the others make the most of a midnight snack...insects and moths that throng around a sodium vapour lamp.

The second pic, "then coming closer," is excellent. Looking forward to reading your blog.
