Soil Hill To Mixenden

This is what birding is all about: gale force winds driving horizontal rain. Hundreds of people causing both congestion and prevention of seeing what minimal birds are present.
A bunch of Gulls, Lapwings & Starlings were in fields around Raggalds.

A Soil Hill potential blank was ruined by a Snipe which I can live with. Also a couple of Goldfinch & a Dunnock.
Ogden was awash with Homo Sapiens. Even the track from the promenade to Stod Fold had walkers on it.
1 Kingfisher & many gulls incl 2 LBBG.

The weather calmed down as I arrived at Mixenden Res. 2 Cormorant, 1 f Goldeneye & plenty of gulls. Quite a few big ones present incl 2 adult Herring, the majority being sub adult phases.
