Bradshaw to Mixenden

A real downer in warm sunshine and minimal bird life. Taylor Lane and Ned Hill track: c15 BHG, Mistle Thrush, Reed Bunting, c20 Goldfinch, few Swallow.
Ogden Res: Yawnsville. Chiffchaff & Nuthatch heard only.

The golf course did at least lubricate my tear ducts with it's lack of birds. It's just a shame I'd left my piece of rope at home (OK I know there are no really tall trees there). 1 Meadow Pipit ditto Great Tit, c12 unid distant finches mebbe Linnet and one far distant calling Curlew.
I gave the reservoir a miss. To sum up in one word Phuckin Awful!
Er, I never could count.

Welcome back in action to Denise who nailed a Wheatear in Old Guy Rd this afternoon.
