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.
