After lunch, I went to Hindhede Nature Park to see the second record of Fairy Pitta reported the day before.

At the quarry, nice to see the Oriental Darter sunning and preening itself.

This Stork-billed Kingfisher also showed in the quarry.

Fig tree(?) in the quarry.

Lastly, a Red-legged Crake sneaking away.
