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

Another quiet day over Queensbury.

This weather really is playing havoc with this years vis mig as the birds seem reluctant to move. Hopefully we will get a build up and then when they finally decide to move the floodgates will open, hopefully.
This morning started off bright but steadily deteriorated throughout the day finally giving way to heavy rain this evening again whilst I was fence building at Shelf Moor so yet again I got home like a drowned rat.
A steady flow of Mipits came over this a.m. all >S and Swallows were moving by lunch time but in small numbers also >S.  The Pied Wagtails had moved on from the rugby pitch since yesterday and only a couple of Common gulls were on the fields.
