Ogden Water Mixenden Route

Was getting ready for Ogden when BS sent me an encouraging text msg. Unfortunately his 3 Whooper Swan had left when I arrived. See West Yorkshire Birding blog.

4 Tufted Duck and 3 Teal still present also 4 Cormorant and the usual mix of gulls. I did have strong suspicions about one being a YLG but the distance factor prevents me from recording with conviction 🤔.

2 Mistle Thrush at Carrs Beck and an overhead Raven. 2 Stonechat and the Green Woodpecker at H Hill bottom. Only a mixed gull collection on Mixenden Res and a casually drumming GSW seen in the wood.
