Soil Hill To Mixenden

I had Low Moor in mind this am but decided to try more local instead.  I will be considering a visit to a Psychiatrist in the new year 😫. It was appalling; a beautiful day but hardly any birds.


A few gulls and caawvids around Soil Hell. Ogden was dire: a distinct lack of arboreal avians stood out. Plenty of small gulls on the water plus the f Goosander.

I fared better on the stretch to Mixenden Res 🙂. A Barn Owl was showing well as it absorbed the suns rays. A Raven was noisy for a short spell.
Mixenden had Uggins of gulls including good numbers of the larger species.
Along with a Cormorant was a Great Crested Grebe 😊.
