Ogden Water To Mixenden Res

I didn’t intend to go birding just went for the exercise. However the birds decided otherwise and they were fairly busy.
Ogden: 2 drake Tufted Duck appearing to be heading into eclipse plumage. 4 Grey Heron. The BHGs Have returned and were really noisy. Several LBBG present were well behaved and quiet. 9 Canadas.
1 each Song Thrush, Blackcap and Chiffchaff singing.

The bottom of Hunter Hill was rotten with Swallows both young and old. A bonus sighting was 10 or so House Martin which were stopping at a shallow pond and picking up mud.
A WW, pr Linnet and a few Goldfinch also here.

2 Chiffchaff singing in the Mixenden trees but zilch on the water.
Photos to follow.
