Several Swallows over Queensbury this morning all >NE and in real migration mode. Good numbers were also reported from HC at Fly Flatts along with a fall of Wheatears.
Shelf Moor trailer park held 9 Meadow Pipits and 2 Skylark but no sign of DPs reported Pied Flycatcher nearby.
A short boring blog with a late finish on the decorating scene but one day soon I should be able to get out for a bit on evening birding.
Thanks to AC for the alert of 4 Sand Martins heading for Queensbury but must have veered around me.
