The second bird flew and we investigated closer to the base of the cliff. It did not look particularly inviting, but was enough to sustain the animals and birds in the park until the next rain. As we suspected, there was a small amount of water still present and it was attracting both birds and butterflies.

As our Gypsy comes to a halt, one Oriental Honey Buzzard is investigating the new arrivals.
