A bright and breezy day today - too much breeze especially on Soil Hill.
I received a ping on the Calderdale Birding WhatsApp via DJB this morning reporting the fly past of an Iceland Gull over Ned Hill Track. A great bird to get! The bird had dropped down towards Ogden so I thought I'd head off in that direction just in case it landed on Ogden Water.
No sign of the Iceland Gull, alas, as I got to Ogden Water though.
I did the usual , a coffee and a circuit of the water before heading off to climb over Soil Hill.
Soil Hill was a real breezy affair.
Birds:-
2 Little Owl.
Greenfinch.
At least 7 Mistle Thrush (4+1 seen and 2 heard singing).
