Not Quite All Quiet At Ogden

Noise disturbance probably kept bird numbers down this morning. Some of it was necessary i.e the grounds maintenance machinery being used by staff. The rest was down to screams and laughter from visitors (no dogs get blamed today).

An adult Common Gull was welcome as there was no sign of any YLG. 7/8 LBBG & c17 BHG. Grey Heron down to 1 bird. 3 Chiffchaff, 1 Blackcap ditto a very vocal Song 🎵 Thrush.

Carrs Beck area coughed up 1 Swift, 3/4 Swallow & 5/6 House Martin. A pr noisy Skylark was a bit of a surprise here. Also 5/6 Goldfinch.

I thought Mixenden Res would have been blown up by now. Sorry I mean I hope 😭.
