Hi,
Last year there was a signboard put up when a pair (wonder if they were the
same pair) were nesting nearby at the green divider patch along busy Athllon
Drive just before the traffic light turning right to Vikings Club.
The nesting was not successful with no chicks observed then, but the signage
stayed for a while.
Regards
