Mixenden Provides Last Gasp Goods

Not exactly a fairy tale ending to a couple of sessions of rock bottom birding but by gum it lifted my spirits by a few glasses.

Thursday 30/11 up Soil Hill and Ogden was so poor it didn’t warrant a report. Same story for today’s venture to those venues also - really quiet.

Then as I was about to exit Mixenden Res this lunchtime I heard distant calls that gradually got nearer and louder. Looking up I 👁️ balled a flock of Pink-footed Geese flying high over the school grounds heading towards Cold Edge. I estimate c75 birds were present .
