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

Sunshine and Showers

A mixed day of sunshine and showers with a cool W>5.
Shelf Moor late pm held 32 Fieldfare in the hawthorn field with about 6 Redwing in the hedges whilst 4 Canada geese were at the pond along with 1 Moorhen and 2 pr Mallards.
Up to 200 Starlings were in a field along with 5 Lapwings. The Lapwing flock seems to have all but dispersed now.
Four Mistle Thrushes were on wires and a Green Woodpecker was calling from near the lion gates.
Hope those showers hold off tomorrow.
