Mixenden and Ogden Reservoirs / Local Fields

An afternoon run out to check on a couple of local reservoirs today was dull throughout and I caught a heavy shower just as as I was leaving Ogden Water.

Good to bump into NK at Mixenden Reservoir who had some good bird sightings at the Cold Edge Dams area earlier. 

A walk up the local fields in misty wet stuff, not bad weather for mid November, was non too exciting.

Birds:

Mixenden:

The water was very choppy in the strong wind with just one Mallard seen on it.

A Cormorant was resting on the far, east, side stones.

A Chiffchaff sang from the woods.

Ogden:

Curlew (or two)  heard a couple of times from high up back lane somewhere.

Great Spotted Woodpecker called from east of the water.

Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler.

Raven heard from high over the north end.

A Treecreeper, creeped up a tree, when I went looking in the woods, for something special.

Not much else.

Local Fields:

2 Little Owl.

44 Woodpigeon in the horse fields.

Lesser Black-backed Gull over the garden.
