More signs of Dispersion, Greenfinch

    A rarity for Foxhill, flock of 11 Greenfinch

            Attracted down for the dandelion clocks




 How am I suppose to know when lunch time is over
now with the dandelion clock eaten.
We still use primitive methods in Queensbury.

A real surprise at lunch time whilst dog walking up Foxhill park when I spied a small group of 11 passerines on the football pitch. Alarm bells started to ring and on closer investigation found them to be Greenfinch, a rare bird for this area and another sign of birds starting to disperse.
They stayed all the time I was up there taking the seeds from the Dandelion clocks.

A quick dash to Ogden after work in a NNW>5 and darkening clouds only to find the water very choppy and holding the usual Mallards, and Canadas. I have,nt seen the resident Tufted in the last 3 visits there.
Did,nt walk the circuit as limited time and nobody had told me it was national scumbag evening with a hoard of undesirables around the water having a who could shout the loudest competition, unfortunately I,d left my missile launcher at home.
On the bright side I met the lovely birding couple Angela and Gary on a birding walk about .
Good to talk to JL in the garage this morning who usually calls in when he risks going to the local Sweeney Todd barber, you,re a braver man than me Gunga Din.
Hope the weekend is kind to us all.
