Soil Hill to Mixenden Res

2 singing Skylark top of Fleet Lane.
Soil Hill: 1 each Curlew & Grey Heron, 7 Skylark, c28 Lapwing. A flock of Starling had 3 Fieldfare in among.




Ogden: pr Goosander, 1 Pink-footed Goose in with a bunch of Canadas & a host of small gulls.




Woodland types active including Goldcrest & flirting Dunnocks.


A Bradford birder enquired about Siskin & Redpoll. I told him an afternoon visit was his best bet.

13 Curlew flew around Stod Fold 3/4 times. That was it until a quiet Mixenden Res produced just 1 drake Goosander, 3 Herring, 2 LBBG & the smaller gulls.
