The American Avocet first reported at the Blenheim Sewage Lagoons on June 8
was still present at 5 p.m today, June 10. It is mostly in the eastern
sprinkler cell just north of the building, but occasionally goes for a
fly-around and sometimes lands in the middle of one of the ponds. It is
skittish, so be cautious.
Lagoon Directions: Exit 401 at #90 (Communications Rd.) and head into
Blenheim. At the main stoplight turn right (west) onto Rd. 3. Travel about
1.5 km and turn right (north) onto Lagoon Rd. at the carwash, and continue
north about 1 km to gate. You must have an annual permit to enter.
Available at the Municipal Service Centre, 35 Talbot St. in Blenheim,
during business hours, fax (519) 676-0244.Allen Woodliffe
