Leeshaw and Leeming Reservoirs - Oxenhope

 A cold 7 deg. this afternoon with a sharp N or NE wind.

After yesterday's failed hunt for Waders at Ogden, I thought I'd have a change of reservoir, where I am more or less guaranteed some Waders!

Leeshaw:

The 'usual' birds here today.

Greylag Geese with Goslings, Canada Geese.

2 Red Legged Partridge, Pied Wagtail.

Lapwing, Redshank.

1 Swallow. Mallard.

Oystercatcher, Cormorant.

2 Lesser Black-backed Gull.

One Dunlin was on the small SE section of shoreline, but it soon disappeared below the banking, not to return during my stint.

A Dipper flew over the small stream at the dip in the bridleway.

Leeming:

A bit on the chilly side here as well.

2 Swallow.

2 Grey and 2 Pied Wagtail.

Redshank called once - not seen.

At least 3 Common Sandpiper - 2 of which were very nervous.

7 Tufted Duck, Pr. Lesser Black-backed Gull.

Mallard, 2 Canada Geese.

2 Red Legged Partridge.

1 Reed Bunting.

There seems to be a lack of Kestrel about?
