Following a grapevine txt from B.S. Reporting Whoopers on Mixenden Res. I took a detour from my route to Sainsbury's to check out the reservoir from above, on the road.
Luckily the 30 Whooper Swans were still there and I got some distant, if poor, photos.
Later I had a short sky watch from the garden where a distant Sparrowhawk was seen and a Green Woodpecker called constantly from nearby.
Also, 2 high, fast moving Ducks were probably Mallard.
After lunch I had a walk along the fields up to and over Soil Hill top.
Extremely windy with a strong NE blow making it feel quite cold.
Birds (seen during the walk):-
Pr. Little Owl.
Pheasant.
3 Skylark.
2 Moorhen on the little pond below the east path beyond the quarry.
7 Fieldfare (1+3+3). Nice to see some Fieldfare still knocking about in various locations.
1 Common Gull.
1 Herring Gull.
