Goosander - 2 fem and 1 Juv (judged by white near bill-base) on canal near Micklethwaite swing bridge.

Moorhen - 3 at Micklethwaite bridge and 5 at Bingley Bog North
Waxwing - 43 in the tall tree by the canal at the top of Sleningford
Road (2.05pm) flew off soon after towards Fairfax Road. Later when
approaching the allotments for the second time from the 5-rise swing
bridge (2.40pm) 30 flew across my front up Fairfax Road followed soon
after by a Kestrel, so they had probably been in the allotments.
Kestrel - 1 over the by-pass, 1 in trees at Bingley Bog North and the one by the allotments.
Bullfinch - 2 with a Goldfinch at Bingley Bog North
Long-tailed Tit - 7 with 3 Blue Tits in Greenhill Woods.
House Sparrow - 4 at canal-side near the boatyard (this is not a common
species around Bingley) and this is one of the best sites
