First sun
Sun touching the top of the moor
Early sun being masked with cloud
Looking west over the backing
Mottled sky
Looking NW over the reservoir
Amazing cloud formation
A good bird movement morning
Just some snaps of interesting skies over Leeshaw reservoir from my Sunday morning trip.
These sort of skies seemed to please the birds with good movement of Woodpigeon and Cormorants a.m. and Pink Footed geese p.m.
The weather up here in Queensbury started off half right with a hint of sunrise and blue sky but this rapidly deteriorated by late morning into a strong SSW>5-6 and heavy rain showers, the showers being at their worst while I was dog walking up Foxhill at lunch time but thats the norm for me.
A few small gulls were on the football pitch with 3 LBBs over >W, otherwise, in contrast to yesterday, all was quiet.

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.
