Laura and I took a midday walk at the Frog Pond and around The Dingle,  Sir Sanford Fleming Park, HRM.  Birds were as expected but we were delighted to see our first Eastern Painted Turtle at the Frog Pond, sunning itself on a rock at the south-eastern shoreline of the pond where they tend to hang out.  This one was about 120-150mm in length, smaller than we usually see here. I'll post a photo with my next upload.

Hans
