Leeshaw Res and Mixenden

Courtesy of DP. Cold and windy but mostly dry. Leeshaw: Numerous gulls spread around fields as well as on the drink. 2 Goosander. Plenty of Redwing flying around with a few Fieldfare in among. A flock of Greylag feeding. DP managed a brief Kingfisher sighting but I employed great skill to avoid it. Also 4/5 Chaffinch.

We went down to Mixenden Res for the Iceland Gull reported by DJS - refer Calderdale blog. There were numerous gulls. We sifted through them and were satisfied it had departed leaving the usual crew behind.
