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

Fogged out.

The story this morning. Blank out.


Dense fog through the night and not clearing until 0845hrs only to rapidly come in again until 0930hrs by which time most movement would have stopped.
By midday the skies were grey but clear and whilst I was having my dinner 3 flocks of 50+ Fieldfare flew over >SE but shortly afterwards in the park all was quiet.
By late afternoon the sun was out making for a good sunset and several newly arrived flocks of Starling decended on the village moving around in groups of 60+ wherever there was food.
Just on the way to the vets at Halifax when we got the call about ACs Whoopers but no sign over the valley from Crow Point.
