Cold Edge Dams To Mixenden

The long trek via Ogden. Not much to shout about at Cold Edge. Haigh Cote had a f Tufted Duck with 3 young on it. Also there were 20 Greylag & c32 Canada.
1 Pied Wagtail 11 Linnet 2/3 Goldfinch. 2 Skylark & a few Meadow Pipit.


Still 8 Grey Heron at Ogden and a pr Oystercatcher. A Buzzard was very noisy as it constantly called throughout the duration. A second bird joined in a couple of times.
1 each singing Blackcap & Chiffchaff.


Numerous LBBG present again and a couple of Herring. I did suspect one large gull of being michahellis but it would not come into the open for confirmation.

Mixenden was really frustrating but while standing by Clough Lane I did get fair views of 3 very swift Swift.
