Ogden Res to Mixenden

A morning of  wind and sleet didn’t enhance the birding opportunities at Ogden. 2 LBB adults in with the many smaller gulls.

The Dipper fed once more in the overflow and although distant, entertained for a while until 3 Crows came down to displace it 😢.



I managed my first annual Stock Dove albeit at distant. Blackbirds and Robins came much closer.

Stod Fold has had about a third of its trees cut down and loggers were busy burning 🔥 piles of branches all in the name of ecological improvement I’m sure 😬.

Mixenden Res had a Cormorant and the usual gulls. Good views of the (closed) fire damaged school didn’t lift the spirits at all.
