17:30 Spent a
fair bit of time today looking out to sea wondering what people were doing over
the other side of the Pacific in Australia, Indonesia, Papa New Guinea and Japan
etc. pondering over other places I would like to see sometime. Around 16:00 a
giant black cloud came over the station and I quickly snapped a few photos of a
couple of American Oystercatchers.

This morning I
read up more on my common trees, exercised and learned some more Spanish. I noticed also that the yard really is
greener then when I had first arrived in the park and you could clearly see
some hardy grass shoots poking through the ground.
Around midday
I went for a swim and saw a baby Moray Eel under a rock, not sure what type it
was though. I came out to see a Ctenosaur actually laying on top of the Social
Flycatchers nest… and so those birds were really not happy and so chased it
away. Other reptiles were out and about
sunning themselves. I made some lemonade
(lime) ice lollies which turned out delicious considering I had used sticks
from trees, half-cut plastic bottles, lemons, water and sugar.
I had a really
bad stomach ache for some reason, but pushed past it and caught some more
Butterflies although I didn't really catch any new ones so I thought that when
a cook (Caballo) returns I could go have a hunt around the park entrance. So I can spare you on butterfly photos now it seems, though I did get photos of these guys instead:
