Ogden To Mixenden Dull Session

A day more like March than May. Ogden Water had just a pair of Greylag Geese and a Grey Heron on the water. The trees held around 7 singing WW, 4 Chiffchaff and a couple of Blackcap. They also sported a loud singer I listened to for about 8 minutes without identifying it. I knew what to eliminate but even after plugging away with Xeno Canto at home I’m still no wiser.

A Whitethroat was singing about 40 yards W of the promenade end. A couple of WW singing by the golf course sheds.
Mixenden was really gash: 2 Chiffchaff and as I departed another Whitethroat belting away from a footpath bush.
