Yesterday was our first butt walk of year 2001....and there were good sightings particularly numbers 1, 13 and 18.
Didn't expect to see the Courtesan here especially when that single tattered female we spotted flew out of the
park and into the urban area across the road.

Found caterpillars and pupae of the Baron on some unidentified tree...possibly Cashewnut. Also somebody left a mature white rabbit roaming around the park….which can be detrimental to its survival as we saw two raptors very close to the ground.....about 30 feet..
