Various sites


Sunny Vale - lake frozen over this morning except for one area by the reedbed where the stream comes in. Still 2 Little Grebes there along with 1 Grey Heron, 4 Teal and 6 Moorhens. No sign of Water rail today. Also several Jays and 1 Green Woodpecker.
Elland GP - just a quick look from the road. 2 Little Grebe, 4 Cormorant, 8 Tufted Duck, 1 drake Goldeneye and 2 Lesser Black-backed Gulls >E.
Ringstone - thanks for the info on the grapevine as the 3 Shoveler were firsts for me in Calderdale this year! Also 6 Teal and lots of Lapwings and some Golden plover in the fields with B H and Common Gulls but hard to count as the mist came in.
Soil Hill - 3 Skylarks and one very hardy female Stonechat.
