From Tom Stephenson:


Hi Peter,


Well, nothing scary in the park today with Adam and Stanley...not much species diversity in the areas we checked out. Unfortunately wedding photo shoot in chat area, so didn't see anything there.


Best birds probably Merlin, 2 Winter Wrens and Monk Parakeet flyover. Nice Pied-billed Grebe, young bird, feeding very close in Pool area.


Here's the list.


Best regards,


Tom
