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

Dailie Fields lunchtime.  Bright with slight W>3, temperature rising.

A steady flow of Swallows >SE was about it for sky movement other than 3 LBB gulls >NW and a single Heron >E.
The hawthorns held 1 Whitethroat, 4 Willow Warbler and 5 Goldfinch whilst 7 Linnet were on and around the gorse bushes. Unusual for down there were 6 House Sparrows which is a bird I dont recall recording from the area in the past.
Fly Flatts is still doing well on wader watch with Knot and Sanderling turning up today,see Calderbirds, but it gets frustrating when I,m stuck at work hearing news of the waders. I,ll be giving it a coat of looking at on Sunday although I expect some disturbance with the bike race on up there.
