1445 hrs and back at Mixenden in a mixture of brief sunshine, plenty dark skies and a snow blizzard so heavy that you couldnt see the water from the banking but fortunately this passed over in 15 minutes leaving lighter showers.
DJSs single Shelduck and Goosanders from this morning had moved on and a full walk around the perimeter of the water just produced 5 Cormorant, 1pair of Goldeneye and the usual small gulls. As with yesterday , a single Jay flew over whilst the trees on the west shore provided 1 Robin and 8 Goldfinch.
Hopefully we,ve seen the last of any serious snow for now although with the amount up here on the tops its looking unlikely there,ll be access to Fly Flatts over the weekend.
