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

Common and BH gulls back in the park.
A half decent day but a downer from yesterdays spring like weather. Mild WSW>4 with early drizzle then a day of grey skies.
Common gulls were back in the park with 11 at midday along with 7 Black Headed. Two LBBs flew over >NW in the direction of Oxenhope closely followed by a single Golden Plover very high and in the same direction.
A Skylark could be heard making half an attempt at singing but never getting into full song,this came from the direction of Old Guy Rd.
A pair of Dunnocks are chasing each other about all day by the garage car park conifers and its a contest to see which can sing the loudest, Dunnock v Robin. A Blackbird keeps threatening to sing but hasnt got into the swing of things yet.
Hope everyone has a productive birding weekend.
