Cold Edge Dams Slog

Kicked off very satisfactorily then nose dived as I hit the top road and went down Hunter Hill.
Cold Edge Dams - the smallest of the 3 held a Little Grebe and on the nearby fencing surrounded by trees, a Spotted Flycatcher was hard at work doing what they do best.



5 Stonechat c40 Swallow 1 Meadow Pipit ditto Lapwing. Got a short weak  Phyllosc call suggesting Chiffchaff. 6/7 Goldfinch 8 House Sparrow.

Hunter Hill - 1 Skylark c50 Linnet.
A single Ring-necked Parakeet was screeching loudly from a garden tree near Mixenden Res.
Elsewhere a Barn Owl.


Reckon I saw at least 6 Wall Browns 2 small Tortoiseshell 1 Peacock & 3 Speckled Wood butterfly.
