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

Shelf Moor

No sign of the Lapwing flock this afternoon around Shelf Moor but several Pied Wagtails were grouping ready to move with up to 15 in the Gorse field. This field looks ideal for Yellow Wag this early autumn although the nearest report of one in previous years is from the field below the golf course.
Linnets lined the wires with 11 in one group and a single Moorhen was on the pond.
Hopefully the next 2 days will produce some movement although strong winds are forecast.
