The Breeding Season

As from now until the end of the breeding season birds of a sensitive nature will be omitted from this blog due to a small percentage of undesirables who take their pleasure from egg collecting, nest destroying and the killing and trapping of birds.
Reports of non breeding birds moving through the area will still be published. BS

Shelf Moor

A good count of Canadas at the pond

Autumn at the Lion Gates
A poor start to the morning then by 0800hrs a bit of blue started to show through before clouds rapidly filled over bringing heavy rain showers for the rest of the day until early evening when the skies cleared just before dark.
No signs of vis mig over the garage this morning even before the rain started.
Shelf Moor late afternoon found 35 Canadas around the pond area, 15 Fieldfare and around 30 Redwing in trees near the lion gates and a very mobile Goldfinch flock of around 30.
Hopefully these clear skies will last until the morning to get a decent watch in.
