Queensbury south

    A misty Shibden Valley this morning
       Little Owl with its eye on something
              A bit of a shy bird.

A quick circuit of Queensbury south before work this morning found 3 Little Owl in the usual area with a 4th on a distant dead tree nearby.
Around 150 Jackdaws were in the new mown fields along with several BH gulls.
15 Greenfinch were very mobile as well as 4 Linnets, a bird thats been rare this year.
Up on the main road 14 Lapwing were in the horse field where about 30 were reported yesterday by TC.
Well spotted to DJS for yet another Common Scoter at Ogden today, female this time , as well as a Yellow Legged Herring gull, see Daves report on Calderbirds,
When is this hot stuff going to end ?
