A Reasonable Birding Session



Ogden Res: the overflow Dipper refused to pose but I'm still happy to have got it. 


A Jay was nearby. Apart from the many gulls there were 1 Nuthatch, 4 Robin, 7 Blackbird and common Tit species.
By the golf course a flock of c70 Pink-footed Geese flew over toward Cold Edge. I rang DJS who also saw them just before the call. 


Stod Fold delivered another 7 Blackbird, 1 Greenfinch ditto Jay,  3/4 Chaffinch, 2 LTT & Blue/Gt Tits.
Mixenden Res: pr Goldeneye & numerous small gulls with a modicum of their larger brethren .

Elsewhere I was fortunate to get good if distant views of first one and then a second Barn Owl
