Mixenden To Cold Edge Dams

Circumstances dictated that I had to climb up Hunter Hill from Mixenden Res this fine sunny morning. Only a few mixed size gulls on the water but hey not to worry there was fathoms deep mud in the woods thanks to the fabulous biker 🚴‍♀️ boys 🤨.

Old age reminded me the hill is a mountain to climb and if common sense prevails I won’t be doing this route ever again.  3 Curlew heard on the way up and about a hundred Jackdaws. 3/4 more Curlew heard throughout the session.

A pr Lapwing & a pr Oystercatcher among the 100 or so Canadas. About a dozen Greylag also plus an overhead Meadow Pipit. A pr Tufted Duck on the smaller dam now becoming obscured by buildings under construction 😏.
