Wainstalls to Mixenden

A really quiet session overall in the sunshine and noticeable NW'ly blow. 4 Tufted Duck on the lower dams at Cold Edge with some Canadas and Meadow Pipits. A single calling Golden Plover was all that the walk up to the Withens could offer and from there down to Ogden it was dire.
Ogden Res was almost a copy of my previous visit on Saturday.
The section from the rough ground above Brook house to Mixenden proved a little better. 2 Stonechat which I'm certain are the same birds from the last 3 sightings were on the fences.
Also 1 each Curlew, Grey Heron & Reed Bunting and 2/3 Linnet. The reservoir ain't worth mentioning apart from the GSW.

DM got a Buzzard over Corporal Lane at approx 1440 hrs.
