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

Pinkies on the move

Foxhill, the story today, all day.
A grim day today with hardly a breath of wind but dense fog from morning till night.

On the bright side, one of the dogs went out in the garden at 2115hrs yesterday evening and suddenly stopped dead looking skyward with its head moving side to side listening. From the kitchen I could hear what I thought were dogs at the nearby kennels but when I went out I had a skien of Pink Footed Geese going overhead >NW. I could just make out the shapes of the edge of the skein as they flew passed clouds lit up with the moon but couldnt even start to estimate how many there were.

Thanks for the msg, even if it was late on. Good for you in getting them, I reckon I'll have to wait for Autumn now; this must be the last lot surely.

Who knows? Strange how most of the movement this time has been in the dark.
