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, Shelf Moor

Another scorcher today although not ideal birding weather. A quick look from the top of the Dailies today was poor due to limited visibility in the heat haze.
A few Swallows were moving through all >N and a Green Woodpecker was calling down in the station.
Shelf Moor this evening had a pre breeding flock of c 150 Starlings feeding in the Hawthorn field and several Greenfinch, Chaffinch and Linnets in the bushes.
The pond held 4 Canada Geese, a pair of Mallard and a single Moorhen. A pair of Reed Bunting were on the wires nearby.
