Queensbury to Mixenden

Another slog with sparse avian action but at least I got a long awaited annual 😁. 7  Common Gull in Old Guy Road and several small gulls on the Raggalds sports field.



A LBBG and a Sparrowhawk were arguing over Soil Hill. Just 2 GC Grebe, 3 Cormorant and a few BHG on Ogden.

A Spotted Flycatcher flitting about the fence at Carrs Beck. No doubt the same bird seen by DJS earlier.

Security guard and dog still patrolling Mixenden but allowing people to walk round the inside reservoir walls. Still nothing on the water. A Swallow, GSW and Blackbird seen.

I’m glad I didn’t put my money where my spacious mouth is; I said the Osprey has gone. SS went down to Doe Park where it is still fishing 😬.
