Lock, unlock, lock… and the process goes on and on. It has been over four months since the lockdown started on mid-March 2020 and things are yet to come to normal. We have got adjusted to our modified routines. I still spend a couple of hours in the evening spotting and photographing birds and other wildlife from my residence terrace in Salt Lake, Kolkata.

I uploaded my first blog post in mid-June and the list of wildlife spotted was as follows:
- Chestnut Tailed Starling or Grey Headed Myna (কাঠ শালিক) (Sturnia malabarica)

- Purple Sunbird (দুর্গা টুনটুনি) (Cinnyris asiaticus)
- Black Hooded Oriole (কালোমাথা বেনেবউ) (Oriolus xanthornus)
The second phase continued with the spotting of more birds and other wildlife, this new list includes:

Covid 19 has changed the way we lived, with the lockdown being implemented from 16 March 2020, there was nothing much to do. Stuck at home I started editing the Wikipedia.

Although I have been attached with the Wikipedia Movement for almost a decade but my activity was more off line. The Covid 19 Lockdown first provided me to edit wikipedia on a regular basis.
