A murky dull day here in Queensbury with a sprinkling of snow this morning just enough to give us a white covering. An icy E>4 blew throughout the day but not enough to lift the low cloud.
As I opened up at 0800hrs a group of 11 Herring gulls came over >WSW closely followed by LBBs in 2s and 3s but heading >NW. LBBs continued to come over is small numbers most of the day but no more Herring gulls were seen.
At midday 2 Gt Black Backed could be seen in the distance from Foxhill park heading up the Aire valley >N.
Passerines around the garage were less active today with the lack of sunshine.
