Hi All,

    I'm not a resident of Halifax, so may be way off base here, but I wonde=
r if the new sewage treatment plant and the resulting lack of a raw sewage =
outflow pipes might be part of the reason for the decline of ducks in Halif=
ax Harbour?

It has been my experience too, that ducks have been in short supply in the =
harbour this winter - at least as far as I can see from my home in Admiralt=
y Place. However, I did have a pair of Surf Scoters on Sunday - a new speci=
es for my yard list!

I've been seeing only the odd Black Guillemot from the Alderney ferry. They=
 like to hang out in the middle of the Harbour.
