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

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.
