Queensbury Today
Foxhill Common Gulls
Rainbows and dark clouds to the North
Blustery westerly , Foxhill school weather vane.
A day of sunshine and showers with a blustery westerly wind as todays storm swept past to the south of us.
Meadow pipits were moving well mid morning with several small groups passing overhead all >S, these probably now being late breeders or far northern birds this late in the season.
Foxhill park at lunch time held the usual Common and Black Headed gulls in small numbers and several Redwings were moving around the trees in surrounding gardens.
I,ve added a link to Meg Ghylls blog , a local pencil artist who is also interested in birds and nature in general ,and from her blog you can visit her website with galleries of her drawings, well worth a visit, her drawings are amazing.
