Queensbury South

1130-1250 hrs, a shorter walk than the norm. The cold blustery SW'ly ensured the fields around the trailer park were devoid of birds other than a Kestrel flying over.

Littlemoor Park area had plenty of Blue & Gt Tit, 3 Blackbird, similar Chaffinch & 6 Goldfinch. 4/5 Gulls went over > W, a couple showing hallmarks of 1/2CY LBBG.

Around Giles Hill I managed a single Fieldfare, couple of Meadow Pipit and the show stealer, a cracking juvenile m Sparrowhawk. It gave good views perched on a wall for a minute before flying off in no great hurry.
