Male’, the capital of Maldives

Malé, (pronounced: "Maa-leh") population 103,693 (2006), is the capital and largest city (in terms of population) in the Republic of Maldives. It is located at the southern edge of North Male’ Atoll (Kaafu Atoll). It is also one of the Administrative divisions of the Maldives. Traditionally it was the King’s Island, from where the ancient Maldive Royal dynasties ruled and where the palace was located. The city was also called Mahal. Formerly it was a walled city surrounded by fortifications and gates (doroshi).
The Royal Palace (Gan’duvaru) was destroyed along with the picturesque forts (kotte) and bastions (buruzu) when the city was remodelled under President Ibrahim Nasir’s rule after the abolition of the monarchy. In recent years, the island has been considerably expanded through landfilling operations.

The female Eastern Pondhawk looks like a completely different species.
