0715-0900hrs Observations to and at work
When movement starts over Queensbury M.O.T. Station you know things are starting to hot up with birds moving on a broader front. This morning saw the first of the Mipit movement with Skylarks and Woodpigeons also in evidence. Swifts have been absent over the village for a few days now so we,ll soon be recording our last.
