Adult Common Gull
Adult Black Headeds
A cool but brighter day with a fresh NW>4 and temperatures a few degrees above freezing.
As usual the weather brightened up now that the weekend has gone, strange how the weather knows when to break down at the end of the week.
Daylight is now hanging on till 1700hrs giving a bit of hope that evening birding is on the way.
A Little Owl was calling last night from Foxhill park at 2300hrs which is unusual for this area and a Pied Wagtail was in Chapel Lane at first light this morning. Kept scanning the skies today at every opportunity for Pinkies but once again they seemed to miss the Queensbury area.Roosting Jackdaw numbers over the village morning and evening has increased to around 300 birds which noisily pile over sometimes skimming the house tops.
Gull numbers were down in the park today with 9 Common and 7 Black Headed but the wetter the weather the more we seem to get.
4 LBB gulls flew over >NW and 4 Stock doves were in the field by Fleet Kennels along with 15 Ferals.
