Mixenden Whoopers

   I was undecided today whether to stay local or
   go further afield but after a call off of BS my mind
   was made up as he had found 8 Whooper Swans at
   Mixenden Reservoir, so off I went with fingers crossed
   that they'd still be there and luckily they were, looking
   all majestic in the sunshine.
   Lots of Treecreepers were in the woods along with LTT's,
   Chaffinch, Robin and Blue Tits, Canada's and Mallard were
   on the water, I then nipped up to Castle Carr where their was
   a Little Owl and 3 Skylark and 2 Kestreland that was it.
   Garden had Brambling , Blue and Great Tits, Goldfinch,
   Dunnock, Blackbird, Wren, 4 Collared Dove and 3 Ferals.
 
   Claremount Hill had a light Coloured Raptor flying low and
   fast but couldn't pick out what it was, but it certainly made
   the garden birds and Wood Pigeon and Mistle Thrush scarper
   for their lives.
