Ogden golf course (am) - and Withens Clough Res'r (pm)

Ogden
One Common Redstart showed briefly then didn't show for another 20 mins. Not a lot else other than a Great Spotted Woodpecker high >NE and 3 Buzzards at a distance.

Withens Clough Res'r circuit
84 Lapwings along the shore and a Dipper  were the only birds on or near the water, though there is plenty of shore-line. Elsewhere, nearby 2 Green Woodpeckers, 1 Great Spotted Woodpecker, 6 House Martins, 1 Kestrel, 6 Meadow Pipits, 2 alba Wagtails, 1 Grey Wagtail.
The only sign of any passage birds were c20 Swallows high >W.

Nice to see Withens Clough circuit on the blog Dave. I miss walking from home over the hill via Stoodley Pike to wander round Withens Clough res. Couldn't do it now but brilliant you're still getting over there.
