Back Down To Earth

Raggalds Flood at 1025 hrs not a living thing - great.
Soil Hill Aborted after being blown around and soaked. Few Mipits, couple Skylark, 1 Lapwing ditto Curlew & Dullard - nice.

Ogden Res. 1 drake Tufted on the water but apart from a few Dullards twas barren. 5 WW and a Chiffchaff were present. An helpful winsome young lass said she had seen a Heron so I went through the motions and finally got the said bird. This cost me dearly, after 8 months I finally lost my nocular rainguard cover - terrific.

At Hunter Hill bottom it got tasty: 2 pr Wheatear, 3 House Martin, 6 Swallow, Curlew calling, 1 Reed Bunting, ditto Linnet & 1 Skylark.
Mixenden Res just held 1 Moorhen & 4 Dullard.
