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 pm

A bright day with long spells of sunshine but still the cold E>3

A quick pass through of Shelf Moor tonight provided 26 Fieldfare and 11 Redwing in the Hawthorn field,
5 Greenfinch and 3 House  Sparrows in the Gorse bush field and 1 Moorhen with 4 Mallard on the pond.
On my way back just after last light,1715hrs, Lapwings were coming in to roost, in the now dark, to the circus field counting approx 120.
