Soil Hill Ogden Water Route

A cold start that fortunately got warmer. Soil Hill: The Swallow I photographed was perched on the wire again in the same spot. 1 each Curlew & Pied Wagtail. 3 singing Skylark, pr Blackbird. Couple Chaffinch ditto Goldfinch.

Ogden Water was livelier today. A Mute Swan 🦢 was feeding close to the W shore. A pr Grey Heron flew in and started prospecting. A pr Tufted Duck were floating around. Most encouraging was the loud sound of a Tawny Owl 🦉 hooting 👍.

Couple WW at Brookhouse. 8 Curlew at Stod Fold.

Mixenden Res was vacant despite the calm water. Couple Chiffchaff in the wood.
