Hi, We were entertaining a visitor from the UK (a butterfly enthusiast) for the past few days and one of the locations we visited were the trails and boardwalks around Spectacle Lake in Burnside Business Park. Although we saw no butterflies we were able to introduce him to some typical flora of the bogs in NS. We accessed the trails at the end of Garland Ave, after having driven by a lot of construction (destruction?) vehicles where Garland makes a 90-degree turn. At least one of the trails is closed due to construction activities. We enjoy visiting these trails and do so whenever we are in Burnside since Mike King alerted us to their existence a couple of years ago. I wonder if anyone on this list knows what is going on in this area and whether the parkland itself is in peril? We did see one Osprey standing on the nest and calling almost constantly while we were there as well as a Peregrine Falcon (a young bird) near the Lake. No wonder we saw so few passerines! Cheers, Bob McDonald Halifax
