Cold Edge was rather interesting and showed quite a bit of movement activity. 7 Lapwing & a Grey Heron were on Leadbeater Dam. A Kesrel was hovering close by it.
Haigh Cote sported female Tufted Duck with 4 young. A Pied Wagtail was seen as were the expected Canadas & Greylags. Several Linnet & Meadow Pipit were on the track along with a few Goldfinch.
A real pleasant surprise came as I rounded the track to walk past the large farmhouse to the right of Haigh Cote. On the large manicured lawn sitting or standing without a by your leave or a beg your pardon were 4 Oystercather 😅😁.
A pr Kestrel were hovering near the old Withens Pub and I got one by the golf course later.
Another pleasant encounter took place at Mixenden Res. 11 BHG were loafing on the W shoreline but in with them was a cracking adult Common Gull my first returner of the year.
No time to publish photos today so you two viewers can have a laugh later on.
