Beaten by the weather

A typical Queensbury February day when going back through the years all the worst snow falls and gales always landed in February. With most roads impassable and the main roads very iffy I had to finally admit defeat and miss a days birding. The weather was so bad that Lynda could,nt even get out on a shopping spree, now that is serious, and to make it worse her mobile hairdresser could nt make it , disaster or what !.
                               With the strong E>6-7 blowing across Foxhill Park it piled the snow at one end leaving plenty areas of grass showing which accumulated 32 Common gulls and several Rooks probing the hard ground. Hopefully the worst is now over and we can start to get back to normal although it will be some time before Fly Flatts is accessible.
                              Meanwhile, here are  some snaps around Queensbury which I took on my way to work this morning .
