A check at Mixenden res'r this morning first thing. It's been really quiet at this site over the winter apart from the gulls. Mainly Black-headed and Common Gull with an occasional L B B Gull, though a few Herring Gulls, both adults and juveniles appear there most days to bathe and preen then move on. This morning was no exception with 50+ each Black-headed and Commons along with 8 Herring Gulls.
Just about to head off around 09:15 when a distant flock of geese appeared over Bradshaw / Soil Hill area just at the same time as a text from DJB (yes, back on his Soil Hill patch) with a skein of c50 Pink-footed Geese. Fortunately they came high over the res'r heading in the direction of Mount Tabor. Always a great sight to see these skeins over Calderdale.
Just got home, and a Buzzard went over the house >S calling as it went. Always good to see.
