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

The skies were quiet looking east from the Dailies at lunch time other than 4 LBB gulls >N and a single BH gull straggling behind them. A few Swift were moving in no certain direction and Swallows were feeding over the new silage cut fields.
In the Hawthorns 3 Willow Warblers were present, 1 Great Tit and a family of 4 young Blue Tits.
A Green Woodpecker was calling from the station and 2 Grey Partridge dashed across the field.
The large flock of Magpies seems to have dispersed with only 4 present, much to the relief of the passerines at breeding time.
9 Linnets were around the gorse bushes.
