Ornithology

Having climbed the tree with my field glasses I leaned forward in an attempt to get a better view...unfortunately I fell and became trapped by my pith helmet between two branches. With great presence of mind I undid my chinstrap and fell 15 feet to the jungle floor. Luckily I landed on one of the coolies who ran away screaming, apparently he thought I had been sent from the skies to punish him. After that, I gave up ornithology and resorted to shooting specimens and inspecting them at a later date.
