Queensbury Waxwing/Osprey watch

             Chapel Lane top to New Park Rd open


Roper Lane still blocked

                Last sun west from Roper Lane

                                     Sunset over the Withins from Lower Fleet

A morning of heavy snow till midday then snow showers during the afternoon clearing by 1500hrs leaving sunshine and blue skies.
The sky looked ideal for moving Osprey so a rushed tea and first a walk through Waxwing country, Coniston, Moorclose and Stonehouse but no sign, possibly due to the late hour and the mass of berries around Moorside Rd were completely stripped bare.
Through into Roper Lane for a quick skywatch hoping for an early Osprey heading north but nothing but corvids heading to roost.
Moorclose held 4 singing Blackbird, 1 singing Song Thrush  and plenty Starling.
A nice walk and a good sunset.
