Soil Hill to Mixenden

SH: 17 Curlew, 11 Lapwing, 1 each Moorhen & Grey Heron, Skylarks & Meadow Pipits. The N slope hedge just had 1 very noisy Wren. Of Covid 19 present, 4 were Rook, not the most common bird around here. Bagged another annual finally a singing Linnet. 

NB You two what read my blog. The Wimps have closed Ogden Water down. I entered from the moors and only found out when exiting. Thanks to my athletic prowess I climbed the top entrance by the golf course without injury.
A pr Goosander, 2 LBBG, 3 Common Gull, 1 Nuthatch ditto drumming GSW & 2 singing Chiffchaff. 

The golf course coughed up another singing Linnet and a single Curlew. A Raven was circling the mid and upper slope of Hunter Hill.
Mixenden Res had 1 each Cormorant, Redshank & singing Chiffchaff.
