No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Queensbury today

Snow on the Dales hilltops from Foxhill.

Over Shipley Glen to Menwith Hill golf balls.

A brighter but cold day with a strong N>5 turning W>3 by late afternoon. Blue skies and heavy freezing after dark.

A gull moving day today with a steady flow of LBBs >NW most of the day with up to 30 Herring gulls sighted at lunch time in the distance looking east in the direction of the photos, the Herrings were moving >WNW.
A single Meadow Pipit along with a Pied Wagtail seemed out of place in Foxhill park and 7 Collared Doves were in nearby trees.
This p.m. 5 Redwings flew over the garage and landed in trees down Station Rd whilst the resident Wren that has been missing for a while re appeared below the Rose Hip bushes.
