Another decent duck for Calderdale with a nice drake Shoveler from CS this morning. Seemed very settled with the Mallards at the duck feeding area. A reasonably common duck in other parts of West Yorkshire but still a bit 'hit and miss' in Calderdale.

Cold Edge
The site certainly lived up to it's name in the gusty wind this afternoon.
Nothing at all on the waters though I was hoping for Goldeneye they don't seem to be tempted at all to our upland waters as yet this winter (there were 8 on the ski-lake at Cromwell Bottom over the weekend.)
94 Canada Geese in the fields
135 Fieldfare flew over probably on a roost flight and managed to get a count from photos
1 Reed Bunting
3 Lapwing flyovers >SW
1 distant Barn Owl
