Queensbury Today. Meadow Pipits on the move.

             1st year Mipit with an outstanding orbital ring.
                                          Foxhill Common gulls.

A misty damp start but plenty Meadow Pipit movement >S with several waves of groups of up to 15 birds at a time coming over even continuing into lunch time when some of the birds dropped down into the trees briefly before moving off again.
Otherwise all quiet apart from 18 Common gulls in Foxhill park mid day.
Nice to talk to Phil Cunningham today, ex BOG member now living at Flamborough Head, no, Im not jealous!!!!!. I rang him about his car in the garage for repair and he made me feel worse when he told me that as he was talking on his mobile to me he was stood on the Faeroe Islands watching a Dotterel !!!!
