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.

Oxenhope watchpoint

                                          Several Mistle Thrush
                                                    Clumsy landing

                                        Plenty local Curlew
                                         Distant Golden Plover on the moor
                                    Swallows along the banking

                                 No shoreline for this Oystercatcher to land

                                                  Curlews passing through

A late afternoon visit to the Oxenhope watch point found an improvement in the weather with sunshine and a light E>3 after a cold day with several snow showers.

Nothing unusual to report from here with the water holding 10 Canadas , a few Mallard and 15 LBB gulls with no sign of Goosander or Goldeneye.
Several Mistle Thrush were in the wood with a steady flow >N of Swallows and Curlews.
The only wader present was a fly past of an Oystercatcher which could,nt find any decent shoreline so headed off towards Fly Flatts.
One Wheatear was seen briefly but no sign of Ring Ouzel.

On the way back Raggalds flood still held the 2 Redshank that have been present for a week now, these were also reported by AC this morning.
Also present was 2 Pied Wagtails and 1 Wheatear.
