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

LBBs now a common sight

Swifts about in good numbers

Another sticky hot day but a bit less sunshine with good grey skies early morning.
LBB gulls were again the bird of the day with a steady flow most of the day all moving W and NW.
Swifts were out in force feeding and moving in no particular direction with Swallows skimming low over the end of season mown pitches in Foxhill.
Pied Wagtail numbers are increasing in the area with 5 adult birds in the park at mid day and 3 >S over the garage early a.m.
A cracking male Sparrowhawk drifted slowly over the rugby field as I was walking home tonight and flew low over my head. Never thought about the camera in my pocket, just stood watching it with my mouth open, what a dope!
