Soil Hill to Mixenden

B1045 hrs on a belated winter morning and it certainly showed. Couple Curlew, Lapwing, Skylark & Whitethroat.

A walk round Ogden Res was a moribund  brain cell overdose as was the stretch across to Hunter Hill although I did pick up another 2 Whitethroat & a Curlew.

Mixenden Res proved to be the saviour where I got my first Swift flying over the water low down. A fair few Swallow were here too. A pair Common Sandpiper were hyperactive and a Redshank called as it flew the reservoir length.
Others here: 1 GC Grebe, pr Tufted Duck, Blackcap.
