We had a good time at the Bird Sanctuary, there were hiking trails through the woods and an occasional bird feeding tray with benches nearby from which we could observe and photograph the many colorful birds. One bird we both saw was black and about the size of a crow. It would fly back and forth across the trail every time we got too near for comfort. It had bright, Cardinal red wings when it flew. It was too quick to get a photo of, but I'm hoping we'll at least identify it.
We hiked the trails for about an hour and a half before going to the Botanical Garden. The Garden was free and we got some good pictures of some flowers and a few birds, but it was late in the morning, not the prime time for viewing wildlife feeding or on the move. After about 45 minutes, we headed for lunch. We tried to get into a very nice place called the Talisman, only to be told by the guard at the gate that it was closed on Mondays. Instead we went to Dari, another good eatery with outdoor seating, water features and many birds including a Grey Crowned Crane, Peacocks and others. Some of our best pictures of the day were taken there right after lunch.
We got back to Rosa Mystica a little after 2 pm, got naps and showers to freshen up for long journey home. Please keep us in your prayers for travel mercies. I will post from the road as I can. We have a little layover in London, so I may be able to shed some light on the first half of our trip when we get through security there.
