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

                                                Another nester for the garden ivy

A bright sunny day with a cool NE>4 keeping temperatures down.
Two pair of House Sparrows are again starting nesting in the small patch of ivy in the back garden along with 12 roosting birds and  a single Starling that has been roosting there over winter has now brought a mate and is also nest building.
A quick look at the top of the Dailies at lunchtime produced very little in the way of movers other than 9 LBB gulls >N and 4 Mistle Thrush >NW.
Grey Partridge were calling and 2 noisy Green Woodpeckers were down in the station.
A day off tomorrow so lets hope traffic through the col is busy.

Maybe another Osprey or possibly your 25th Buzzard passing through?
