Foxhill crow family
A calmer day today but mostly cloudy with temperatures never much above zero.
Yesterdays busy skies had quietened today with very little to be seen.
The only activity today was in Foxhill park at lunchtime where Rooks and Magpies continued to squabble over last years nests and now last years Carrion Crow family have arrived back to join in. There are only 2 nests in the park and every year these are used by one or two of the species depending who gets first claim in. Crows and Magpies are usually the winners and several young have been raised. A couple of years back 2 of the young carrion crows had white wing bars and the other had a white rump and these birds are still around today.
Well the weekends here again and the forecast sounds half decent so hopefully those Halifax grapevine messages will be flowing through the air waves from DJS and the Med gull and Iceland gull make an appearance for the B.O.G. area.
Oh eck, just checked B.O.G. website and I appear to have missed 67 Pinkies >N over Queensbury at 1015hrs, courtesy CK. Will have to take the roof off the garage

NOTE !!
No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
