A big thank you to Wendy and Colin for erecting notices around Texas fields about the presence of nesting Skylarks. In the past there has been considerable disturbance of these protected birds by people and dogs walking off the tracks through the fields.

This year the notices have not only informed of the presence of the skylarks, but also requested that dog-owners keep their pets on leads as they walk this area during this breeding season. It has been noted there is far less disturbance of the birds so far, so we can hope that these birds have a successful breeding season this year.
