Kicked off with 3 Wheatear on the top track from Perspiration Rd. Another one down at the N slope bottom where a chipping Snipe was heard on two occasions.
A Whitethroat was singing and an Oystercatcher flying around calling as were a few distant Curlew.
A pr Grey Partridge were seen twice and a RLP also encountered. Skylark numbered around 9. 3 Lapwing chasing some probably unwelcome and unseen visitor?
The Ned Hill area coughed up a pr of very active and noisy Whitethroat and quite a few WW. A single Swallow was seen and when I left Coal Lane a Barn Owl flew across my path just a few yards away 😛.
It did calm down around Ogden Water where a drake Goosander was present along with 2 Grey Heron. However the place was heaving with noisy WWs. A Grey Wagtail was in the embankment channel.
The golf course held another Whitethroat a couple WW and a pr Raven chastising a Buzzard. The elsewhere Barn Owl was in view.
A Common Sandpiper present on Mixenden Res.
