Oats Royd Canadas

                                              3 Healthy goslings
                                   The Mallard formation team
                                           Song Thrush

The above photos were taken and kindly sent in by Ken Jarvis all at Oats Royd.
The Canada goose pair that had their first nest trashed rebuilt in a more secluded area and successfully bred the three goslings on the photo with a Greylag getting in on the pic.
The Mallard chicks make an amusing photo swimming off in formation and a nice shot of a Song Thrush.
Thanks for the info and photos for us to share Ken.

More good news today with a juv Little Owl being found with one of the Queensbury pair.
Also a late report from a reliable source who I bumped into telling me of 5 Shoveler and 4 Teal on the Raggalds flood mid spring.
Plenty Swifts in the sky this evening.
