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

Dailies Dash

Crows on the lookout for food



Young Starlings out now

Dailies, the old winching track

A bright and less windy day, a window before the next weather front appears.
The Dailies was very active at lunch time with the usual resident birds all busy collecting food for their young but the sky was quiet apart from a steady flow of LBB gulls slowly drifting >W. Swallows were skimming the hawthorns and 2 House Martins were near the tunnel entrance, breeding in the tunnel used to be an every year event but not any more.

15 Linnet
5 House Sparrow, have you had House Sparrow in the past down here HC ?
1 Green Woodpecker
2 House Martin
sev. Swallows
9 LBB gulls >W
4 Willow Warbler
2 Grey Partridge
150 + Starlings
+ usual Woodpigs, corvids etc.

Good to see the old heavyweight bruiser Crow again. Which reminds me, the Mixenden White was showing well today.

Thats right Dave can,t get back to work quick enough, much better than watching waders at Fly, if only I could believe myself.

Havent seen the Mixenden white crow for a while Nigel, the Qby one either.
