Worth keeping an eye on.

Chapel Lane rugby field having a make over

Photos taken on way from work in torrential rain.

Queensbury rugby ground Chapel Lane is at present being re soiled which is attracting gulls in good numbers and hopefully migrants if it is to be seeded so its well worth keeping an eye on. I walk past it 4 times a day so it will be easy for me and hopefully it will produce something good. The area holds up to 70 small gulls in the winter which alternate between the rugby field and Foxhill park depending on disturbance and weather conditions. The gulls prefer the rugby field when a gale force SW is blowing where they all crouch down in the grass facing the wind, it was in such conditions a few years back that I picked out a Kittiwake amongst them.
Other than gulls today the job has been quiet again but hopefully now the winds will be dropping and things starting to move.
