Hi Peter,
Great seeing you in the park today, grappling with the mugwort...
Well, it was a beautiful day......very nice day.....lots of good weather.....
Birds....well, very difficult. For a long time I thought the bird of the day was going to be the white squirrel we saw in the Vale. But we eventually had 59 species including a couple of Bay-breasted and Canada Warblers, an Olive-sided Flycatcher, Orchard Oriole, and some other stuff.
List below.

Best regards,
Tom
