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

Vis Mig and Shelf Moor

Sunset over Shelf Moor

Shelf Moor, the Gorse field.

Another heavy moving morning today with Mipits piling over from first light all directly>S with the largest flock being 38.
This continued until 0945hrs when the show was taken over with finches, mainly Chaffinch but a few Greenfinch amongst them
all heading >W and >SW totalling about 200 with just casual observations from work. By 1100hrs the skies were quiet.

A quick visit to Shelf Moor tonight found around 80 Linnet very mobile over the gorse field and up to 20 blogging Chaffinch in the hawthorns whilst 6 Swallows came over >S.
