Queensbury Shelf Moor Horton Bank CP

Littlemoor Park failed to excite as did Shelf Moor. Things picked up however at Horton Bank Country Park.
The Park: 4 Redwing similar Blackbird & Goldfinch. Several small gulls in the adjacent fields with a couple more Blackbird. Pr Pied Wagtail, couple Meadow Pipit.

c120 Woodpigeon flew over > SW at Shelf Moor where a flock of Starling were seen.






Horton Bank CP: 5 f Goosander & 3 Tufted Duck stood out among the residents incl the Mute Swan pr. 1 Grey Wagtail, several small gulls incl. 3/4 Common. The Moorhen count has got so high it may warrant a vaccination programme 😵‍💫.
