Queensbury to Mixenden

The stiff E'ly breeze didn't do any favours as hoped for; Old Guy Rd area just had 2 singing Skylark, 1 Pied Wagtail & a few Meadow Pipit.

Soil Hill: 15 Lapwing, 4 Curlew, 9 Skylark, 7 Meadow Pipit & a pr Oystercatcher. 
Ogden Res: rather quiet but it did produce the first Little Grebe that I've seen for quite a while here. Also 4 Goosander, 10 Common Gull, 2 Nuthatch & 4 Robin, one of which fancied itself as a film star.





18 Curlew were at Stod Fold along with 3/4 Meadow Pipit.
Mixenden Res hit a new low; there wasn't a single bird on the water! A pr Grey Wagtail were flying around at the far end nearest the school.
