This afternoon - though I only viewed from watch-points on the top road so BS probably had a few more species from his watch-point.
1 male Stonechat
1 Redshank
4 Curlew
2+ Oystercatchers
2 Barnacle Geese
Pair of Tufted Duck
Plenty of Canadas with chicks and at least one pair of Greylag Geese
2 Stock Doves flew over towards Castle Carr
2 distant Buzzards
+ usual species
4 juvenile Rooks were on Hunter Hill with both adults
Earlier, during very heavy shower I checked out Mixenden Reservoir. Nothing doing there other than 3 Swallows came in with the rain then moved off when it cleared up.
Yesterday afternoon I checked out some of the woodland across the river at Copley - at one time a good spot for Wood Warbler (my target bird for the afternoon) but nothing doing other than a Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Grey Wagtail, 2 Great Spotted Woodpeckers and a Sparrowhawk flyover.
