Blackstone Edge Whiteholme Reservoir Trip

Hard work in yet another E'ly blow this time with a SE bias. Only 1 wader seen: a very distant feeder at Whiteholme showing Dunlin like behaviour 🤔. A most unexpected migrant here flew right past me to land in what was a small bush less than 4 feet high. I got good if brief views of a Willow Warbler



6 Wheatear, 1 Grey & 3 Pied Wagtail. c30 Meadow Pipit. Snipe in a ditch (sounds like a Bistro snack that one) & 2/3 Goldfinch.
