Ogden - late afternon

Message from JJL of a Great Crested Grebe this afternoon prompted a walk up Hebble Brook Clough and around the reservoir as the light was fading. The grebe was still there, appearing fast asleep on the water. Two adult Lesser Black-backed Gulls were also on the water. A Buzzard also went over and a very distant Barn Owl was briefly seen over the moor. 

Great Spotted Woodpecker in the woodland along with a few Siskin in the alders with Coal/Blue and Great Tits, Bullfinch, Goldfinch, Chaffinch and a single Treecreeper. Song Thrush singing. On last light 22 Canada Geese went off in the direction of Mixenden
