A good year for Geese and Swans and only March.

 Watched from Roper Lane , photographed from Green Lane
       by Tracy Collier.   Pink Footed  5/1/13

       Distant from Roper Lane heading over Fly Flatts.  BS
     Pinkies over Queensbury through the fog,  2/1/13

      44 Barnacle, 7 Pinkies, Leeshaw res. BS   5/1/13


                        8 Whoopers Fly Flatts  BS   17/2/13

                                  9 Pinkies, Leeshaw res   BS   3/3/ 13

The above are just my personal sightings with many more reports around the local area with also sightings of Goldeneye, Wigeon and Teal so although its been a quiet 2 month to press the wildfowl sightings have kept the job going nicely and the Pinkies should be on the move home anytime now.
All quiet around the village today with a dull misty morning and bright afternoon with a cold SE>4.
Expecting Buzzard over anytime but after a good sky watch at lunchtime and camera at the ready nothing, only to get back to work and hear of one >NW over Northowram from AC which would possibly have been viewable from Foxhill, try again tomorrow.
