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.

Oxenhope Reservoir, ( Members Only )

                                         Little Ringed Plover




  Raven with mobbing Curlew

            Herring gull on the shore
                                        and in the air
                         Herring and LBB
                                  A busy far shoreline
   Ringed, Little Ringed, Dunlin and Redshank

                                                Curlew.

 1545-1700 hrs, W>4 Sunshine and showers.
Perfect wader conditions at Oxenhope with heavy showers moving over, just right for bringing down the birds.
Passage waders were constantly coming and going with at one point Dunlin, Ringed and Little Ringed Plover, Common Sandpiper, Oystercatcher and Redshank all in one scope view.
Herring gulls were on the shoreline with LBBs although several had left from when MD had been there earlier.
A single Raven was being mobbed by a Curlew as it headed towards Fly Flatts.
The fall of Dunlin from last weekend had moved on with none spotted until just now when I found one on the photos.
A real entertaining hour.
