A soporific start that ended satisfactorily.
Soil Hill served as passage only and Ogden was only slightly better. Gulls are back on the scene: 5 BHG & 10 LBBG. A Grey Heron was on the W shore.
The stretch from the golf course produced distant Curlew, 1 Reed Bunting, few Linnet ditto Goldfinch, single Swift ditto Snipe. Bottom Hunter Hill had a couple Swallow & Oystercatcher. Here I conjured myself up a Little Owl which flew a couple metres away from me across a field to settle on a wall. Sometimes thought does produce a positive result.
Mixenden Res: long staying f Goldeneye lingering longer. 1 LBBG, 8 BHG insect scooping, few House Martin. A GSW called.
