The Slavonian Grebe was still being seen at Lee Dam though the pond was icing up yesterday. If the icing gets worse it may move on but for the present it seems to be content to stay at this site. (BL et al)
4 Whooper Swans went west over Mytholmroyd on Tuesday (MJB), perhaps the same 4 that were present on Baitings res'r on Monday (SB). A single Whooper was on the Albert Road, Pellon Res'r yesterday afternoon (NcD).
2 Common Scoters were on the ski-lake at Cromwell Bottom yesterday (M.Sh).
There were also several reports of Barn Owls being seen in daylight late afternoons - obviously out hunting early during the cold, icy weather.
A few Crossbills, Siskins and Redpolls were reported around Walshaw Dean along with a few Fieldfare (MJB AC). Fieldfares and Redwings were also seen around the Akroyd Park area and Cunnery Wood in the last few days (RH).
A very smart looking adult Mediterranean Gull has also been showing on and off at Ogden Water in the last week or two (DJB, JJL and BS et al).
