Recent news

Fly Flats was well fogged off above 'The Withens' this morning, so I headed down to check Mixenden Res'r. Thought I had an Osprey high and distant - it was a Grey Heron!

It was really blustery though plenty of activity in the sky. On the water just 9 Mallard (1 female)!
2 Buzzards were high and distant, seemed to be enjoying the conditions. 
2 Swallows came though >S at a pace, getting blown all over the place as they travelled
1 Pied Wagtail and the usual corvids around the site
Several adult Lesser Black-backed Gulls were heading >W

Last 3 days - a hat-trick of Ospreys reported travelling through on 1st/2nd/3rd April from Whiteholme, Luddenden Dean and Walshaw. That is a record and well done to MH, PB, PL and GW. Another one tomorrow would be nice!

4th April - and another Osprey this morning  >N over Whiteholme (AC)
