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

Midday Movement

Common gull between summer and winter plumage

Several Commons are still in summer plumage

A less windy day but still a strong W>5 blowing with occassion light showers.
The walk home from work at lunch time found several Swallows and Meadow Pipits all heading >S along with 2 Alba Wagtails >W.
Common gull numbers in the park had risen to 26 with most still in summer plumage showing a pure white head whilst some were just starting to show the streaking on their heads as they go into winter plumage. Strangely all the gulls here are full adults.
Still waiting for a Queensbury Med gull which hopefully will appear in the area before DJS poaches it for Mixenden Res.
