We went back there to search for more today, but no go, even the one that we found was gone.

Normally pure luck seeing them.

So right, as we have over time walked past that clump of reeds, and all that I got was a few dragonflies. Then all of a sudden, this little cute critter.

Nature surprises around every corner, standing in the garden watching crosswind structure above, hundreds of birds flew over, as if fleeing from a massive storm. We had no rain that night and I didn't hear about any other untoward weather up the coast.

It does indeed, and those birds were definitely fleeing from something. I hope that it was not a bad foreboding.

That was what I thought, perhaps more inland animals don't take off like that for no reason.

One can only wonder what happened to scare them.
