Weather still very cold with a light snow covering and frozen ground.
It was a welcome surprise to find 2 Lapwings in the fields just near Upper Green Edge Farm. Both in the same spot as a few weeks ago. We don't usually get them in this area until spring. Also a pair of Stonechats near the farm seem to be overwintering around the same spot.
Around 40 Fieldfare in fields near 'The Catty' with 8 Mistle Thrush and 16 Rooks foraging in the fields just past the big rocks. No sign of any Little Owls but a pair of Kestrels hunting from the top of telegraph poles. A single Greenfinch near feeders at the top of Kell Lane was a first for the year.
Lots of Pink-footed Geese on the move heading >W through Calderdale this morning with a good number of skeins reported from those who were fortunate enough to be birding out of the fog !!
