Ogden Water and Withens Clough

Four Whooper Swans, adults with two juveniles, on the res'r this morning (from CS) seem to have stayed most of the day - at least until 14:30 as far as we know. The mist may keep them there overnight (?)

Several skeins of Pink-footed Geese also reported from this morning - mostly >W.

Withens Clough this afternoon turned out not too bad with the mist persisting. Noted 25 species including a Green and Great-spotted Woodpecker, Sparrowhawk, Kestrel, pair Goosander, pair of Stonechats, 3 Mistle Thrush and at least 15 Reed Buntings near the res'r cottage.

Late report of a male Blackcap in a Wheatley garden on Sunday along with a regular Grey Wagtail under fat-ball garden feeders.

The swans were still there at 5pm as it was getting dark.
