WEST YORKSHIRE BIRDING. BRIAN SUMNER. I am based at Queensbury and bird a patch within a 10 mile range of home incorporating 16 stretches of water, several plantations, a belt of woodland, stretches of river and canal and good areas of moorland. I specialize in upland birds, reservoir and sky watching. My local patch is Fly Flatts reservoir. Any reports can be sent by text or call to 07771 705024 or see profile for e mail address.

A cooler Queensbury
Blue Tits still busy nest building
Bright and sunny until late afternoon when it became very cloudy with an extremely cold W>5.
The usual thing up here in Queensbury for Easter is snow so lets see what happens.
Good to hear from Calderbirds that Swallows and Willow Warblers were returning to EGP today though the skies have been quiet on the top of this hill today.
The remains of a Feral pigeon were in Foxhill park at midday which looked like a Sparrowhawk kill whilst 2 Pied Wagtails were in the Pineberry car park.
Should be an interesting weekend with the new arrivals, who knows, I may even get my first annual Wheatear.
