Queensbury to Mixenden

5 Lapwing and a bunch of Jackdaw at Mountain; Raggalds Flood was  clear. 1 Kestrel on Soil Hill.

5 Fieldfare were in with a c70 strong flock of Starling at Ogden Plantation with 6 Red-legged Partridge nearby. A couple of hundred yards up the track 11 Curlew were busily getting the calories down.

The Res was chronic (just for a change) 2 Bullfinch, LTT and the zoo gang.

Mixenden Res coughed up a personal site tick - a GBBG possibly a 2CY bird subject to  consultation. It took a dislike to my  presence and flew out of site. An adult LBBG was also here plus numerous small gulls, 5 Cormorant, 1 each Grey Wagtail & f Goldeneye.
