Inside the Gull Pond almost 40 individuals
One silver teal and two yellow-billed teal families
A stork with a neck swollen by something fighting to escape. It turned out a big eel which, once expelled and reswallowed, insisted on staying kick and alive in the pond. Finally the stork gave itself up and took flight with an empty crop.
