Hi all,

Further to Liz Doull's post below, I'm not sure who puts the seeds out  
at Pt Pleasant Park; in fact I've missed the cardinal there so far.  
But  I was pleased to hear one singing on Sunday at the (northern)  
start of the trail around Frog Pond, and another in the Dingle (just  
north of Fleming Tower). Didn't hear the latter today, though, on a  
second visit to the Dingle.

Apologies if that's old news; tough to keep track, with all this cool  
stuff showing up.

Cheers,
Andy Horn
Halifax
