Pitch full of Starlings
Lapwing flock building
Restless in the heavy drizzle and strong wind
Iffy photos in the conditions and at distance
A check on Raggalds flood in my dinner hour produced nothing so down Pit Lane to check the football pitches.
The Queensbury winter Lapwing flock seem to have forsaken Shelf Moor again this year and have opt for this area instead.
Around 250 Starlings and 117 Lapwings were present along with a few small gulls. The Lapwings kept having a fly around but mostly squat down head to the wind in the blustery, wet conditions whilst the Starlings did,nt seem to bother and just kept on frantically probing the ground.
Again no Goldies present.

NOTE !!
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.
