Queensbury,Gulls and Raptors and stormy skies


                                    Bit grim over the rugby field
                                 Moving over Foxhill
                                             Grumbling sky
                                      Over Chapel Lane
                                       Gulls off to roost late evening.

The above photos were taken yesterday tea time when the storm was moving in. The last pic was 2100hrs with gulls moving towards their roost.

Gulls dominated the skies throughout today with still small numbers of Herring gulls >W whilst Commons, LBBs and BHGs moved over mainly >NW.
The first gulls were on Foxhill park today but so far only 5 Black Headed and no Commons.
A new bird on the feeders today with a Greenfinch present, a rare bird for here.
The local Sparrowhawk whipped through the garden this morning snatching a House Sparrow from the top of the Hawthorn bush whilst 2 Kestrels headed >N very high.

Raggalds flood this evening held 2ad +1 juv Pied Wagtail, 2 Black Headed gulls, 3 Lapwing and several Swallows, whilst the Shay field below Soil Hill held about 100 Black Headeds but no rareties amongst them.
