Bali myna
The very attractive Bali myna is not related to other mynas, being restricted to the island of Bali and the island’s only endemic vertebrate species. Critically endangered, there are programs in place to try to raise numbers and stop illegal trading.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride
There’s something rather regal about the three-wheeled transport in Mui Wo, Lantau Island, HK – if you’re in the passenger seat.

I’m currently using two cameras: the truly excellent Canon 90D I bought several months ago that is streets ahead of any other camera I’ve owned over the years, and a Canon 100D that I’ve had for a couple of years — a really lightweight little workhorse. I am also using my iPhone SE far more than I expected. The latest OS makes it an incredibly versatile camera.
Keep checking out the galleries; the old ones have been reinstalled and new ones are being added.
What were the ‘other things’?
Check out ‘My Novels’ here or in the menu above where a couple of clicks will take you to the world of ClarkeFiction and details of my seven edge-of-the-seat thriller novels and my wife Gail’s wonderful fully illustrated children’s books.
