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

Foxhill Today

Common gulls spending more time in the park now

A good vis mig landscape point, Paul Speak Institute, Mountain.


Pleasant evening, calm before the storm.

A good evening with calm conditions and clear blue skies, unfortunately no time for birding.
Spent 2 hour on the garage roof at work this afternoon doing some repairs, camera in pocket ready for an Osprey gliding over but the skies were suprisingly quiet with very little movement other than a few Swallows >S and several small gulls in various directions.

Shelf Moor tonight had several Swallows over >S and Linnets grouping on the wires which coincides with NKs report of big numbers of Linnet on Soil Hill, see Queensburybirder for full report..
A bad forecast for the weekend with plenty showers and wind increasing to severe gale by late Sunday, mind you, severe gale is only a stiff breeze on Queensburys Beaufort scale.
