Better Late than...

Just a quick post for last week, which was pretty uneventful and a day late -- sorry. I had a busy weekend even though I did not bird on Sunday.

Monday I went to Newport and saw a Common Gallinule at the Lily pond, but too far & overcast to photograph. I did get some photos...

A Bonus bird found by my friend, Andrew, in South Africa in Kruger National Park -- Pel's Fishing Owl. As he says it is a Halleluiah bird there and he was very lucky to see it.

Hope to have more birds to show you next week -- but its a slow time here. Peace out!
