Queensbury today.
Back to work and a 12 hour session to catch up for lost time but still time to do a bit of sky watching in amongst. Meadow Pipits were still coming over in ones and twos early a.m. >NW whilst walking to work and several small squadrons of Starling went over high and >N . These may have been coming from roost but the height and the direct flight made me suspect otherwise.
During the day a Heron flew over >NE which for a heart stopping minute I thought it was the Osprey that I had just received a text message about ,care of Calderbirds grapevine.See Calderbirds for report.
4 Common gull were in Foxhill Park at lunchtime along with a Pied Wagtail.
BS.
