Queensbury south

                                            Wheatears moving through
                                           LBBs now moving in lower numbers

With early morning fog and continuous rain showers throughout the day there was very little sign of movement although Swallows flowed through steadily all >S and >SW. By tea time the skies had brightened slightly with Swallow numbers increased leaving several bloggers feeding over the fields.
A quick last light tour found 3 Wheatear in Tracys field plus 28 Common gulls and 8 Lapwing.
Corporal Hill had several small gulls and 6 LBBs, 4 of which were juvs.
Green Lane had a few small gulls,90% being BHGs , and several feeding Swallows. Again no sign of the Little Owls.
A single Kestrel was over Deanstones.
How these nights are drawing in now. 1900hrs and all but dark.
