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.
