NOTE !!
No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.

Causeway Foot col strikes again

                                If you stand there you,ll end up falling off !
                                                  Oops, you wouldnt listen.

Causeway Foot Col from Soil Hill west.  1530-1630hrs
Warmer E>4 but sheltered in the lee of the hill. sunny with very hazy visibility.

A quietish session with only short range scanning possible. Target birds of Swift and hearing cuckoo were not met but a bonus when 2 Common Tern appeared through the col first seen with Ogden plantation as background then continuing low along the west shoreline of TMR and on towards Leeshaw, near enough the same route as the Osprey. If they had come in a straight line they would have come over Mixenden reservoir or just to the west over the trees.

2 Common Tern....................>N         1555hrs
3 Alba Wagtails....................>E
21 Swallow..........................>SE
5 Lapwing...........................>N
+ usual local Mipits, Linnets and 1 Wheatear.
