A lovely afternoon stroll through the botanical gardens. Partly cloudy and fairly mild, many other parkgoers out and about. Perhaps the best surprise of the outing was a lively roost of Azores Noctules in a Red Oak, with several pups climbing about on the trunk. Also observed a Blue Emperor, a pair of Nomads, and multiple Iberian Green Frogs
