Queensbury Monday ,Bright start, poor finish



                                     First light this morning
                      Breaking up by 0815 hrs
                                          Troubled skies

A bright start to Monday morning but short lived with troubled skies turning cloudy on a brisk  SSW> 5 but remaining dry until mid afternoon. By last light there was heavy rain and increasing wind strength.
Pink Footed geese seem to be getting restless now with another skein reported today by DJS, again over Swalesmoor heading >W.
The spell of mild weather is getting several birds up and singing with Robin, Dunnock and Wren around the garage claiming territory whilst a customer reported a Mistle Thrush nest building in his garden where it nests annually.
28 Common gulls on Foxhill park mid day and still large Starling flocks moving around the village.
