Another dull day up here in the gods with low cloud, mist and drizzle brightening late afternoon.
The above telegraph pole, which is completely covered in climbing foliage , has been the home to a pair of House Sparrows which now have 3 young fledglings. Queensbury is still a prime stronghold to House Sparrows which have had an excellent breeding season this year and we can have up to 40 birds in the garden at one time with a record last year, post breeding, of 72.
Gulls are becoming a more common sight now with birds returning daily. 6 LBBs were seen today and 3 Black Headed.
Raggalds Flood is still refusing to produce the good with 3 Woodpigeons and 2 Rabbits this evening in a rapidly drying up field.
