Cold Edge To Mixenden

Pre Hurricane wind speeds at Wainstalls and birds almost non existent. Things did improve as I dropped down Hunter Hill.
5 Lapwing, 1 Skylark, 3 Swift, 4 Swallow, 3 Meadow Pipit.
Nothing on the dams.

HH 1 LBBG over > W. 2 Meadow Pipit, 3 Swift, 4 Swallow, 1 Kestrel.
Signs of migration preparation at the bottom of the hill. Several Swallows on fences including 4 juveniles. More Swallows on wires at the reservoir and flying over.

2 LBBG on the drink and the 2 House Martin in action once more. 1 each Blackcap, Chiffxhaff & Whitethroat. 2 Goldfimch. Good to see a Barn Owl in situ again 👍.
