We went back to the botanical Gardens today to do some bird watching.

Purple Swamphen

Crested pigeon

And what I thought to be a crested pigeon but turned out to be bark.

I really struggle to take pics outside

Nice shots. Those swamphens are an absolute nuisance.

This one we named Keef the meth head. He was going off his nutter at the other birds.
