Back in Taipei for a few days, we had one free morning to revisit Daan Park in town..we got there at 8am but it was already getting very warm. We met up with friends whom we’d met in Panti a few weeks ago and they actually live near to Daan Park..local birding experts! We headed straight to the Ecological pond where the egrets and herons were in their nesting season…

By 10am it was really hot so we paid a quick visit to the Jianguo weekend flower market…..always good to see the Taiwanese orchids

A well spent 2 hours in Daan Park…….
