Queensbury M.O.T. breeders

Juv Magpie enjoying a grass filled troffin



Preening on the conifers.

A good breeding program for the garage this year both in the conifers and climbing plants.
1 pair of Crows have raised 2 young , Magpies have raised 1 young and House Sparrows, Dunnock , Blackbird and Robin have all produced young around the car park area.
Woodpigeon, Collared Dove and Greenfinch all tried but moved on unsuccessful.

Got 2 rare birds over the garage today in the form of House Martins which were once common around here but this year are nearly none existent. The regular annual nest behind the house remains empty , the first time for several years.
Is this a general thing or just this area?
