Saturday 21st February a.m.
A sunny but cold start to the day after an overnight frost the temperature was 0°C on our arrival at Leeshaw reservoir near Oxenhope.We saw a flock of
Canadas in the top field then it was good to see four
Curlew fly past us into a nearby field where we were able to get a couple of snaps.
Lapwings &
BH Gulls were in good numbers at the edge of the reservoir,also a couple of
Greylags & Muscovy Ducks.It was also good to see a pair of
Oystercatchers in a distant field with another two fly down to the edge of the water.The usual
Pheasants were in the surrounding fields & we also saw three
Pied Wagtails, one of them posing for a snap.

Thanks John,was good to get out to Leeshaw in the sunshine, fog & rain seem to be the weekend norm recently.
