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

A bright day for Queensbury

Sunrise behind Black Dyke Mills

A bright frosty morning with very little cloud all day and a cool SW>3 with plenty sunshine.
Plenty activity in the garage car park conifers with 2 pairs of Blackbirds, 1 singing Robin and 2 singing Dunnocks all looking ready to start nest building. Blue tits are showing interest in the box just over the fence from the car park with up to 6 birds checking it out although it has been up there about 3 years and only used the first year.
On the walk home tonight ,which was the first time in near daylight, 4 Goosanders flew over Chapel Lane >NW heading in the direction of the Oxenhope roost. A taste of spring at last although more wind and rain are on the way by the sound of things.
