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



Magpie guarding its territory


Sun going down over Foxhill


A brighter day with a few scattered showers but very calm.
Worked late so apart from a dog walk up Foxhill very little time for observations.
LBB gulls were again moving over >N this evening with 2 Black Headed amongst them.
Strangely no Swifts about tonight whilst 4 Swallows powered through >S
A Wren was singing in the Grimston field which is unusual.
A report at work today from the warden at Goit Stock, Harden saying a poor show of Cuckoo this year with birds passing through on 3 dates but no staying on birds which is unusual for this site.

Thursday Springwatch showed that a tracked Cuckoo tagged in England was already back in France around June 8th - ain't looking good at all.
