Another blustery day, SW>6 veering W>5 with showers and drizzle despite it being forecast to be the warmest day of the year, well it was,nt in Queensbury!.
Two Swallows over the Duke of York Thornton this evening with several reports around the area of Swallows, as well as House and Sand Martins, summer must be on its way.
The local juv Sparrowhawk is making several sorties in our front garden usually going away empty handed mainly due to Lynda on guard duty,wish I could get her to use her camera instead of the long brush.
Things should be buzzing this weekend with waders, warblers and Hirundines as long as the weather is kind.
