Thanks to Finny’s Friend for sending these photos he took at the bird festival yesterday at Sam Smith Park.

“It was a great day around Sam Smith park as the area bird enthusiasts and other naturalists met with the public for fun and to share some of their passion. The first annual Sam Smith bird festival was a great success and a good opportunity to “shoot” some interesting local birds up close. Thanks to our friend Jem and all of The Friends of Sam Smith Park for organizing such a fine event.”
