Queensbury Today

                                     Kestrels on the move.
A real scorcher of a day today getting the raptors moving up on the thermals.Thanks, SC via DJS for alert of large raptor heading towards the village from Ringby Top which was just at lunch time so watched from the garden and then from Foxhill park on dog walking duty whilst NK watched from his garden but no sighting although visibility was poor at any distance due to the heat haze.
From Foxhill 2 Kestrels near together which had the look of movers headed >N  and mid p.m. a Sparrowhawk in the same mode headed high to the >NE over the garage.
NK today hit Soil Hill p.m. and asked me to report 14 Wheatear on the eastern side around the trig point area, otherwise the hill was not on its best performance.
