Queensbury Today

                          male Chaffinch with a muddy face.
A cool day of mixed sunshine and grey skies with temperatures never rising above 5 deg.
Several small groups of Woodpigeons flew over >S around 1300hrs which were probably re locating birds at that hour of the day whilst 4m and 3f Chaffinch were rummaging through the fallen leaves in Chapel Lane graveyard, an odd sighting for that area where Chaffinch are not usually found.
A noisy Jay dropped into trees down Station Rd whilst the large female Sparrowhawk performed a low fly over of the garage car park.
Three and a half weeks now to the shortest day, these dark evenings play havoc with the birding.
