Cold Edge Dams To Mixenden

A dry bright but cold windy session. Nevertheless I clocked some good birds from start to finish 😊.
The Dams: Pr Oystercatcher, 1 Lapwing. Pr LBBG. A pr noisy Redshank flew the length of Haigh Cote. In the opposite field I espied a female Wheatear.

Curlews were back in good numbers calling regularly. Pr Pied Wagtail and the m Reed Bunting noted.



Cold Edge Rd coughed up 1 each Raven, Kestrel & Stock Dove.

A miracle occurred halfway down Hunter Hill 😜. I saw my first Little Owl since Pterodactyl roamed Queensbury High Street.

A GBBG was on Mixenden Res as was a Common Gull 👍. Two Chiffchaff singing again.
