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

Sunshine and Showers, Queensbury

The Foxhill crows breed again





Dark skies and sunshine over Bradford from Foxhill
The longest day,felt like it at work today too.

A day of sunshine and showers which seemed to stir things up a bit.
Several Swifts were moving >S at midday whilst LBBs were moving in the opposite direction >N.
Goldfinch and Greenfinch were showing in good numbers around Foxhill park and the resident Crows have bred again for the 8th year with 2 young in tow, one is already showing white wing bars which is the norm from this pair.
A passing visit to the Tawny Owl site drew a blank for the third visit now, perhaps its just bad timing or the young have left the nest ?

I think they left about 10 days ago.That is when we stopped seeeing the adults. But we were away that weekend and never saw any young.
