Uplands & More Hall

Whitley Edge - c100 Carrion Crows.
Dropped into thick fog at Ingbirchworth Reservoir where - 8 Tuted Ducks and 3+ Coots, but couldn't see owt at the eastern end. Nor owt at all at Royd Moor Reservoir.
More Hall Reservoir - 1 Whooper Swan, 81 Mallards, 1 Cormorant, 3 Moorhen and 1 Coot. Good build up of c600 gulls (mainly Black-headed, Herrings and Great Black-backed) as they washed, preened and drank before heading off to Broomhead Reservoir, with as many again passing over without stopping. No sign of the Mandarin Duck.
