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

Woodies on the move

Clear skies >E over Thornton from Foxhill late p.m.

At last,a bright clear calm day, even if I was working.
Woodpigeons came over >S in good numbers from first light but had all but stopped by 0800hrs when they were down to stragglers coming over in ones and twos.
Some Fieldfare were also heading >S but these were more likely to have been a roost breaking up.
Sounds like we,re looking for Skuas now with a sighting yesterday ( HC Oxenhope) which went over Soil Hill ( where were you Nigel),
and another sighting today over Shibden(AC Halifaxbirders). Both birds were moving >SW.
Gannets and Skuas on our doorstep, who needs to go to the coast!
Hopefully the weather should be decent tomorrow so I,ll see if I can pick up a Guillemot or two at the local reservoirs.

Woodpigeon..........................280 >S
