Things are starting to change

                         Success story for the Queensbury Canadas
                                      Soil Hill Pied Wagtail
                                           Soil Hill Skylark.
The above photos were kindly sent in by Ken Jarvis.
The Queensbury Canada Geese which had their first nest trashed have so far beaten the odds as his top photo shows.
Ken does a regular check on Soil Hill and is now , like the rest of us, on wader watch.
Thanks for the pics and report Ken , next lot of photos, waders?

A real change to the birding program is just starting to show with things starting to move around and some early dispersion apparent.
Gulls are now a daily sighting with LBBs moving in various directions and stopping off at local reservoirs.
Most of the juv Starlings have now moved on from Foxhill park although another brood is possible.
House Sparrows have so far had a poor breeding season with up to 40 birds in the garden when usually around this time I can have up to 80 but several seemed to move on over the winter.
