Cold Edge Dams to Carrs Beck

Thought I’d go Whinchattin today; amazing how I’m prone to fantasies innit.
A pr Common Sandpiper (makes a change), 1 Little Grebe, 3 Tufted Duck & 8 Lapwing on the dams.


The track up to Withens was rotten with Goldfinch backed up by a crowd of Meadow Pipit. Also 1 Kestrel. I found this Lapwing under a set of wires near the former Withens pub.


9 Mistle Thrush, 4 Linnet, 1 Wheatear ditto Skylark & Swallow were seen down the road to the Nolstar area.
Then nothing until I got a Weasel at Hunter Hill bottom.

Carrs Beck had another bunch of Goldfinch and that was it, no other birds seen so I called it a day.
