Stormy Skies over Queensbury
A breezy showery day till mid afternoon then sunny into the evening with storm clouds rolling over bringing an odd rumble of thunder.
The dark skies brought a good number of Swifts moving through all >NE and several LBB gulls headed in the same direction.
Two Pied Wagtails and 1 juv were in Foxhill Park at lunchtime along with hoards of young Starlings and House Sparrows.
