Posted with permission from Mark C. Past visitors to Blenheim lagoons: After being side-lined from birding for a long 6 weeks, I was once again able to visit the lagoons yesterday. It was a joy to see the birds who are raising their young families there. Nothing unexpected, but it appears that the Spotted S.P. has nested as well.
Lots of butterflies, dragonflies, & wild flowers. Water levels are still high, as are the grasses around the ponds. A good quality field guide was found in the listing box. It contains the names "Rebecca & Ginny Pearce". If any reader knows these ladies, would you please see that they get this email ? I will happily make arrangements for it's return, perhaps after the "Mail Strike" !! Email direct to me : iwoo...@cogeco.ca THE LOCK on the gate : I was dismayed that the last visitor left the gate unlocked. Please: It must be kept locked at all times. At present, when the lock is not used on a daily basis, it can sometimes be a bit obstinate ! One only needs to hold the lock in the "locked" position, and spin the numbers a time or two. Please take the time to do this--thank you.
