Cold Edge Dams To Mixenden

Another wind variety this time from the SE so not cold.
1 Whitethroat, a few WW, 5 Tufted Duck. 6 Greylag & many Canada. 1 Oystercatcher, 5 Lapwing, 7 Linnet similar Skylark, 2 Swallow ditto Blackbird.

The top road down to Mixenden was once again a boring grind; nothing bar Caaawvids. There was a 2 minute spell when an almost baritone Cuck Ooo sound was heard repeated fivefold. Turned out to be a machine starting up near the quarry works 😏.

Mixenden Res was again a huge disappointment with nothing on the water although a Blackcap burst into song so close it nearly claimed an eardrum.
