Cold Edge Ogden Mixenden Res

A long trek in the cold but dry air and bright sunshine. A good start and finish for birds but a dreadful middle period 🙂.

On Leadbeater Dam at the far end from the track was a drake Goldeneye 👍😃. A most welcome ducky as I failed to get one in 2023.
Just 13 Canadas seen besides this and nothing on the drag down to Ogden Water which we shall not discuss 😏.

The only mentionable thing about Mixenden Res is a very good count of Common Gull present besides the other gulls and a pr Blackbird.

The Elsewhere location produced a pr of  Barn Owl one of them in flight looking superb as the sunlight enhanced its features 😛.
