Shelf Moor and Low Moor Dams

After a trip on Friday to Ogden and Mixenden that left me close to a breakdown 😢 I decided to avoid desolation row (1 Nuthatch & Gulls) and head down south today.


Shelf Moor produced only 17/18 small gulls and 4/5 Blackbird. The days of Lapwings appear to be over.




Harold Park lake was rotten with Coot & Moorhen. Must have been 20-24 birds of both species. 6 Mute Swan and loads of small gull species with a few larger sp. thrown in.
I managed to spy a solitary Little Grebe at a distance.



Park Dam held 11 Tufted Duck all in eclipse/female plumage. 2 GCG kept themselves around the middle of the water. Plenty of small gulls again with just a handful of big uns. 1 Jay.
