Soil Hill to Mixenden

1230-1500 hours. An endurance test but I needed the exercise; birds very hard to come by.
Soil Hell produced a passing Raven and a handful of small gulls.

Back Lane had a horde of c100 Woodpigeon in flight no doubt cheesed off with nearby shotguns a blasting.
Ogden Res was abysmal with just the usual small gulls on the water.

Nearer to the Golf course rough I managed a Greenfinch, pr Jay, 4 Redwing plus 1 each Blackbird & Mistle Thrush.

34 Canada were in a field near to Mixenden Res which sported a f Goldeneye, 1 each Cormorant & Goosander. 1 LBBG was in wth numerous small gulls.
