Cold, Windy Bright & Clear
2 Cormorant, with c16 BHG on the Res.
Grouse calling from moor.
A mixed flock of C150 birds – Fieldfare , Redwing and Starling.
Upper Marsh area.
Kestrel. A large group of Jackdaw & Fieldfare
feeding together.
I stopped a bit lower down, on the return
from Ponden, and there were C50 Redwing here.
Lower Laithe
Just a few gulls in the air , nothing on
the water.
Ponden
Grey Heron, Mallard, 2 Jay, Woodpigeon.
The trees at the Ponden B&B end of the Reservoir were very
busy with bird life.
There were Blue Tit and Blackbird in good
numbers and a large flock of Goldfinch & Chaffinch feeding together here.
2 Mistle Thrush, 2 Moorhen in the fields.
I got very excited when I thought I'd got
a LSW in the trees with the Chaffinch but it turned out to be a GSW.
2 Robin, Kestrel.
Water disappointing with just the Mallards
and a few gulls.
Leeming
Water deserted - running late by now so I
did not linger here.
Raggalds Flood.
It was pleasing to see a good flock of C60 lapwing here with quite a
few small gulls.

A good check round there John. Been a lot of winter Thrush movement today.
