Woodpigeons piled over the garage this morning from first light all heading >S and >SW with the biggest movement of the season over Queensbury. After 0830 the flocks had stopped coming over the immediate area and continued moving over more to the east of me and all >S.
Several Fieldfare and Redwing were flying over but in no specific direction and were probably resident birds moving from roost to feeding areas.
Checked Sainsburys car park today but no sign of Waxwings although the Rowans have masses of berries.
Bit of shopping to do at Asda Halifax tommorow pm so will have to tell Lynda that traffic is diverted up Hanson Lane via Pellon Lane via Gibbet St via Skircoat Green via King Cross and we may even see Waxwings on the way.
Dont forget to put your clocks back tonight.
