A wander along the west coast to the south of Vancouver today to look at the birdlife of the area. Spring was just beginning to burst out here with trees beginning to come into leaf and birds on the move. There was a flock of around 2000 Snow Geese in one of the fields and a good mix of ducks and herons including this Night Heron and Wood Duck.
There were also a number of squirrels about including this Black Squirrel - it is apparently another race of the Grey Squirrel and was introduced to British Columbia as well with the same impact as in the UK of reducing the population of the native squirrel.In the evening the A Rocha team assembled for a potluck supper and I spoke to them about the work of A Rocha UK.
