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 M.O.T. breeders

Preening on the conifers.

A good breeding program for the garage this year both in the conifers and climbing plants.
1 pair of Crows have raised 2 young , Magpies have raised 1 young and House Sparrows, Dunnock , Blackbird and Robin have all produced young around the car park area.
Woodpigeon, Collared Dove and Greenfinch all tried but moved on unsuccessful.

Got 2 rare birds over the garage today in the form of House Martins which were once common around here but this year are nearly none existent. The regular annual nest behind the house remains empty , the first time for several years.
Is this a general thing or just this area?
