Carrs Beck Delivereth

Had a not unexpected rotten start at Soil Hell after spotting a pr Swallow at Mountain on the way there. One Skylark on the rugged top and a Raven krokking overhead.
Ogden Water is even lower than ever with more islets showing. Same old same old species showing plus a f Tufted Duck.

At Carrs Beck I had to let a small warbler type pass; a call I cannot recognise and very brief views of a white breast and belly!  
However I got my first Jay in quite some time then a Stonechat followed soon by a Buzzard. The crowning glory came after I climbed the stile to investigate a bird on a fence top that flitted to the deck then flew past me. It was a female Whinchat 😁👍 my first of the year.

A single Swallow flow low toward Mixenden Res which had a pr Pied Wagtail a Common Gull a pr BHG.
