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

Plenty Meadow Pipits parachuting

A grim scene at Fly Flatts

A grim morning leaving sunshine in the village and arriving at Fly Flatts to find fog followed by mist and heavy rain, no chance of movers this morning.
