Walshaw Dean 11:30


The best bird was a dunlin, initially out on the ice in the middle of top Walshaw. At one point, it slipped into the water, and 'swam' about a bit, and I thought for a moment we might have a phalarope, as it was still at distance at this point! However, it then flew nearer the dam wall and gave good views before flying off down across middle Walshaw.

Other birds seen:
2+ goldcrest
1 goldeneye on middle Walshaw
Little Owl nr The Ridge
3 kestrel
2 reed bunting
2 mallard lower Walshaw
MB & AH
