Fly Flats/Cold Edge/Ogden

Fly Flats - 2 Ravens through low over the moor >N near the windfarm.
Nothing on or round the res'r other than lots of Red Grouse on the moor.
1 f Goldeneye on Dean Head top res'r seen from Fly Flats.

Cold Edge - 5 Greylag Geese (did check for Whitefront!) and 1 f Goldeneye.

Ogden - 1 Great Crested Grebe seen to catch several small fish so it may stay around. Still no sign of the Dipper which has been around the top ponds over last few years, but not this year.
Back Lane plantation - 25 Magpies, 2 Stock Doves and 30+ Woodpigeons roosting.
Also between Ogden and Soil Hill lots of Jackdaws and Rooks heading north to roost at 4 pm.

Has anyone checked the Mytholmroyd Magpie roost in recent months? In the past i've counted well over 100 there at this time of year - drive on to the industrial estate and check along the river behind the units.
