Raggalds Flood was unadorned.
Soil Hill was almost barren apart from a Kestrel but it did afford me my first winter skein of Pink-footed Geese eventually. I may have had 2 skeins as I first heard several calls but the distance and haze prevented a sighting. Then about 12 minutes later after more calls at 1045 hrs I got c120 birds flying W from bottom of TMR to similar Fly Flatts.
A pr Wigeon were feeding at Ogden Res and several Chaffinch were present; 3 of them feeding in a flycatcher manner. Otherwise it was down to all gulls and Dullards. A Moorhen was in the plantation as were 5 Pheasant.
The walk from the golf course to Mixenden Res was putresence enshrined, there weren't even any cattle or sheep to frighten. Things did pick up at Hunter Hill bottom where a pair of Stonechat were pottering about.
The reservoir just had a f Goosander, Pied Wagtail, many gulls, GSW & a LTT.
