A very good find this morning for BS, thanks for the call Bri, with a drake Common Scoter on Fly Flats so I made a move for it. Can be quite scarce now on Calderdale reservoirs but from a distant it was showing well. A couple of Redshank were skulking along the shoreline along with Oystercatchers and Lapwings.
Also had a check at a few spots just in case an early Wheatear might be about. PB was on the same mission but we failed on that score. Maybe just a little patience needed before we spot one but they will be on their way anytime!
On the way back I called at Mixenden to check for any other Scoters or Whoopers but there was nothing doing. Good to see NK doing the rounds too. A couple of Siskin in the bushes by the top gate took flight into the pines.
