Horton Bank CP To Queensbury Sth

Quiet at Horton Bank apart from many noisy gulls. Can’t recall getting Greylag Goose here so this singleton was welcome.


 Pr Mute Swan a dozen or so Canadas couple Coot & Moorhen.


Bridge Lane was quiet too until I reached the last 200 yards or so. I count myself lucky to find 7 Fieldfare & a single Redwing in the Hawthorns. 4 Rook seen in the vicinity.
Several BHG & Common Gulls were all together in one farmer’s field. 

The excavations at Cross Lane have expanded another 500 yards are so. 6 Mallard 🦆 present but nothing else as the large digger was busy.
