A steady flow of gulls today over Queensbury all >N and >NW. The bulk of them were LBBs but 4 Black Headed went over at lunch time, two of which were juvs, also 3 juv LBBs were seen. Swift numbers have been down the last couple of days and Swallows seem to be taking their place. Wilsden was alive with Swallows tonight as I passed through.
Nice to get a report of Quail in the region with a report from B.O.G. at an undisclosed site. Thanks for the text M.D.
