Oats Royd Ogden Mixenden

Can we first establish that it is January 13 today and not April?  The wind rain and cold I experienced this morning has me wondering which leads me to the wandering.
Oats Royd to Bradshaw is just a mud trap. Only bird worth a mention is a Curlew at the latter venue.

Ogden Water raised the depression levels. A struggle to recall what was there. Oh yes a Song ThrushBullfinch pr Robin 3 Blackbird ditto Chaffinch. Riveting 🧐.



The blustery wet wind did me a favour I suppose at Carrs Beck. A hundred or so paces over the stile a pr Wheatear were really struggling to make headway uphill. A Curlew called from farther away. 4/5 Meadow Pipit flitting about.

Mixenden Res: 9 Canada a pr Herring Gull a Moorhen & 3 singing Chiffchaff.
