Crashed down to earth or rather the soil on the hill from hell: Oystercatcher, Kestrel, 2/3 Curlew, 5 Skylark. I got my first WW of the year and the Grey Partridge pr are still hanging on in the  'hood.

Ogden was quiet for a change, cough; 2 LBBG ditto GSW. WW count climbed to 6 & 2 Chiffchaff were chortling. A Moorhen was cruising on the drink (uncommon).
Stod Fold coughed up a Green Woodpecker, pr Jay, 2 more WW and a Reed Bunting.

Mixenden Res provided a single Swallow - another annual. Also present: 1 each Goosander & Grey Wagtail, Moorhen & 4 Tufted Duck.
