Queensbury and Shelf Moor

A bright sunny morning with a breeze from SE. Spring like atmosphere preceding the meteohorrorlogical 🤓 first day of Spring on Tuesday. Littlemoor Park was fairly noisy with Common species singing including 2 Greenfinch. Also couple Chaffinch & Goldfinch. A Song Thrush was particularly vocal.



The adjacent fields were quiet until I got to Bridge Lane where a party of small gulls were present. Among them was a BHG sporting a full breeding plumaged hoodie 💂🏻‍♀️. 9 Lapwing were seen showing signs of territorial behaviour. Pr Stock Dove in flight.

Skylark are back; 3 singers down at the Shelf Moor track and one nearer to home at Jackson Hill. Caaawvids busy throughout. A Raven was seen and heard heading > E.
