A bright spring like evening, lets hope its not the calm before the storm with gales sleet and snow possible next week, but like we say in Queensbury," Nare cast a clout till May is out. " we,ve had snow regular in May up here,and what a strange site to see Swallows flying about over snow covered fields. Anyway, back to tonight,
Shelf Moor pond held 6 Canada Geese , 2 Greylag and a Moorhen whilst several Lapwings were displaying in surrounding fields. A single Skylark was up singing near the golf course and a Little Owl was near the Lion Gates.
Foxhill remained quiet today with nothing unusual to report.
Good birding for the weekend.
