NOTE !!
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.

Redwings on the move
Heavy stuff at the garage feeders today
Pics taken through glass.
A dull but clear morning with a cool NW>5 at Foxhill but judging by the wind noise from NKs phone when he called me from Ogden and Soil Hill it was much stronger higher up. Heavy drizzle and rain moved in by mid afternoon.
See Nigels Queensburybirder blog for exciting news.
Redwings were my bird of the day today with 3 seperate flocks over high >NE in mig mode with a 12, 18 and 21 totally 51 birds. This coincides with a flock picked up in Halifax , see J.Ws report on Calderbirds.
Nothing else to report apart from a suprise visit from 2 Woodpigeons to the garage feeders.
Just had a tot up and my life list for the garage is 61 sp.
