Queensbury to Mixenden

Third session this week of poor birding; nothing moving and again long stretches of wondering why I didn't bring a rope to throw over a tree branch.

Soil Hell: 3 Mipit.
I may as well mention that the N slope bottom has now been cleared of all sedges and shrubs and looks as though somebody is building a massive vehicle park (birders won't  need it).

Ogden Res: 2 Herring & 5 LBBG among the small stuff. 1 Cormorant ditto Bullfinch, 3 Blackbird, Moorhen.
Also few dogs, several people and a couple of Cretins.

From there to Mixenden Res boredom won the hour, just a few Goldfinch and nothing in the water save 2 Moorhen. I'm almost at the stage where I could salivate over a Dullard or two.
