A struggle to report anything really so I’ll just mention that the warden CS confirmed what I was told by another walker an
Otter was photographed taking a Carp from a local pond a couple of months ago. CS later found the Otter dead and sent the body away for examination.
Carrs Beck was interesting: I saw c14 Blackbirds. 9/10 of them were identified as having all black beaks- the continental subspecies. So I presume they all were.
On the way through Bradshaw I saw 3 Herring Gull.
Yet again Mixenden was dreadful.
