Sun Dog over Foxhill yesterday evening. BS

Strange skies over Queensbury yesterday evening ,31st. Several sun dogs were showing over Foxhill as the sun was going down and as I got to work this morning David Marshall,who lives next to the garage showed me the inverted rainbow photos that he,d taken on the same evening a little earlier. Perhaps DCB or someone will be able to explain these to us, its a bit out of my depth.

Well done to active birders today with 2 good reports, 5 September Swifts from DJS and a cream crown Marsh Harrier from NK both from the Hunter Hill area.
