Cold Edge dams

2 Barnacle Geese still, with 80 + Canada's
A Whinchat with c6 Stonechats on the area of heather between the lower dam and the track.
1 Swallow
Lots of Meadow Pipits about and a large flock of c120 Goldfinch but strangely, no Linnets with them.
Distant Buzzard
2 Raven
1 Grey Heron

Around 30 B H Gulls on the dams but nothing else other than a few Mallard.

Count of the day was the field on the right just after Lumb Terrace - with 11 Moorhen together (just 2 juveniles).

Nice one with a Whinchat Dave.
(I am unsure where to park/walk to access Cold Edge).

I go on past the Delvers on the left. Then after the narrow bit by the house take the left fork c100yds on. Park another c200yds on the wide bit of road on the left before you get to Lumb Terrace. I walk up from there.
