We were welcomed by the warm sunshine and the sound of busy Barn swallows. It was a pleasant day. Perfect if we would not have to worry about our health during this 4th wave of the Corona virus. (Don't you hate the face masks?) There was a first for many things, specially the Night Heron, who we had not met at this place before and the dragonflies, first of the year. Flowers seemed earlier than usual.
