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.

Troubled skies over Queensbury

Grey skies over the Speak Institute , Mountain

Moving over Foxhill

Storm clouds overhead

Raining stair rods

A day of sunshine, torrential showers and thunderstorms with virtually no sky movement.
By 1830 hours gulls were leaving the reservoirs to the west and moving >E over Queensbury in the direction of Leeds and Eccup reservoir. The majority of these were LBBs with a few Black Headed mixed in.
As always ,tonight the skies were alive with LBB gulls over the B.R.I and Listers Mill area all soaring over the buildings. Dont know what the attraction is in that particular area?
