11 large gulls in a cluster above the Ned Hill conifers appeared to be all LBBG. 1 each Curlew & Whitethroat.
Swift were seen in singles and pairs throughout the walk.
There were 4 individual GSW calling in proximity in the trees at Ogden, methinks a family. 6 Moorhen seen included 2 fledgling in the plantation.
I heard 2 unconvincing loud Cuckoo calls. I'm positive this was a local doylem undergoing the ravages of Cerebral Amoebic Dysentery.
A couple of LBBG were alone on the water.
The golf course was quiet in the main. However it did produce evidence of breeding Reed Bunting as 2 separate males were carrying food. 2 singing Skylark present.
Mixenden Res had a GC Grebe and a Moorhen on it. The latter lost it's nest and contents to the wind and rain that occurred in May.
A pr House Martin were catching flies and insects over the water. 6 House Sparrow were also doing a flycatcher imitation with considerable success.
