Mixenden Res To Ogden Water

Circumstance made for a route reversal this morning and after an awful start at Mixenden Res things picked up big time at the bottom of Hunter Hill 👍.
A Lesser-spotted Woodpecker flew over calling twice, landed in a sycamore tree, called again then flew toward Stod Fold the small size stood out notably 😁.




I got to Ogden Water and saw the Common Scoter seen earlier by BS immediately. It took me a while to clinch the GCG but in the meantime I saw a YLG in with a gang of LBBG. Also a pair of Tufted Duck ditto Oystercatcher.
Song Thrush, Blackcap and noisy Raven.
