Snow for Queensbury
No Tree Sparrows in the garden yet.
All quiet at Raggalds Flood today. Shipley Glen in the background.
A pleasant day with a mild SW>4 and plenty of sunshine. By late afternoon the clouds were rolling in bringing light rain at first then 1 hour of heavy snow giving the roads a covering and making our car struggle coming back from Morrisons through Bradshaw and up The Bonnet.
Nothing untoward today other than the garage Dunnock up in full song and a quick check of Raggalds flood midday found half a dozen small gulls,
With January almost out and daylight lengthening another few weeks and we should be able to get back to some serious birding.
