A Yellow Wagtail and a Loggerhead Shrike, both first for this area,
were again in the Martindale Flats area of Central Saanich, just north of
Victoria, this morning. The wagtail remains in the bulb field toward the
east end of Martindale Road, on the north side. The shrike is frequenting
the vicinity of the former red barn farmers market, which is nearby on Island
View Road at Highway 17 (the latter runs from the Swartz Bay ferry dock to
Victoria).

Walk the private farmland, but please stick to the fallow fields and farm
tracks. Updates to the Victoria RBA (604) 592-3381 and tweeters would be
appreciated.
