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

Its all happening now

A great movement day with Queensbury hitting the headlines thanks to NKs efforts on another hot sticky day, see Queensburybirder for full report.
This evening several Alba Wagtails were moving >E over Shelf Moor and at one point the sky was full of BH and LBB gulls drifting in no particular direction, some low but some very high and nearly out of site.
A skein of 28 Canadas came low overhead which were local birds coming to roost in fields by the Shelf Moor pond but unfortunately I had a paint brush in one hand and a tub of Cuprinol in the other instead of the camera.
Later on the way home there were 42 Canadas together in the field by the pond.
BS.
