No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Graveyard Birding

Queensbury Parish Church, the old graveyard

Clock tower

Overgrown but good habitat.

Eck, 5 minutes to get back to work.

A scorcher of a day with cloudless blue skies and wall to wall sunshine.
A quick visit to Queensbury churchyard to check out the bird situation at lunchtime with 4 m Blackbirds and 5 BH gulls around the present graveyard whilst the old graveyard held at least 3 m Blackbirds, 1 Song Thrush, 3 Robins and a Wren. Several noisy Jackdaws were on the tower and 2 Collared Doves were calling in the trees.
A report today from customer Peter Sykes of a Cuckoo in Denholme Clough.
Five Goldfinch were on the garden feeders again this morning.
