There is a juv YH Blackbird feeding on the main lagoon at Almonte, visible from the tower. To get to lagoons from Almonte take wolfgrove road south from 29, 1st road on right look for well hidden trail to tower on your right.

The lagoons were just visited by a Peregrine which flushed most of the birds including the blackbird. I will be here for another half hour and will post if it returns.
