Two Days Of Bad Birding

Based on the non events of Friday and today Saturday I have no right to call myself a birdwatcher. How can I when there were virtually none to be seen?

Friday: a nightmare on Soil Hill followed by utter boredom at Ogden Water. So bad I couldn’t face Mixenden and went home.

Today playing the nutcase I went to Cold Edge again. This time it was mild and calm and even less birds than the previous visit! I suppose one Lapwing is worth a mention?
Ogden was rammed with the usual gulls and Cormorants were upto 5 birds.

Carrs Beck held a dozen or so Goldfinch. I noticed a bird flitting around the top of the fence. Eventually it showed itself to be a Chiffchaff.
