Another miss for Queensbury but a last minute surprise.

                                         Skies over Foxhill  1630 hrs





                                           Sun going down

                                 Sun down from Roper Lane watch point



Vis Mig today was just the opposite to yesterdays movement which was all to the west of us with todays heavy movement all to the east of us.
Even Oxenhope watch point was finding it difficult with Woodpigs moving but all well out eastward.
Skeins of Pinkies were sighted to both sides of us east and west but non as yet have shown over the village.
The skies looked right early morning with a keen white frost and a light N>4 and the same again last light but still the Pinks refuse to come over.
Small numbers of straggling Chaffinch came over Foxhill at midday all >SW along with a group of 5 Greenfinch whilst 18 Common gulls were on the football pitches.
                                                                 Coming home from decorating duties at 1600 hrs up the High Street a Tawny Owl launched itself out of a tree in the mill complex and flew above the car before disappearing over the buildings. My first Tawny Owl this year. This was probably one of the Queensbury south birds that awaken NK early mornings.
