Ollie

                              Ollie getting a taste for Canada Geese.

Not really, he just has a thing about carrying feathers in his mouth at Fly Flatts.
The Canadas have bred well again this year with several large groups of young which are well grown now and reasonably safe.
Swifts have been moving well today all >NW but the House Martin movement seems to have dried up.
Where are they this year ? there seem to be no breeding pairs in the village, not that I know of anyway.
As Im typing this,LBB gulls are slowly flying over >N and >NW possibly stopping off at DCBs watchpoint to refresh before moving on again.  Well done Nigel on the Red Kite sighting over Mixenden today, see Queensburybirder blog for details. Probably the same bird was later sighted over Heptonstall by Calderbirders.
