Cold Edge To Mixenden Via Ogden

Cold Edge was hard going with not too many birds around  although the Curlews were very much in evidence. There was quite a bit of distraction activity by adults and I could tell I wasn’t welcome.

3 Tufted Duck, 2 Swift ditto Skylark. A few Meadow Pipit also 5/6 Swallows.

A pr Oystercatcher were at the top end of Ogden Water. I presume these were the birds that had departed from the fields at Cold Edge.

2 Herring & c16 LBB gulls were on the water along with a single BHG. 

5 WW. 3 Blackcap & 1 Chiffchaff were singing. A GSW called briefly.

 

Mixenden Res just 5 House Martin a couple Swallow & 1 GSW.
