I thought I'd give Ogden Water another go after missing B.S's bonanza yesterday afternoon...
(On TV tonight - After the Lord Mayors' show....comes the Hit Charts.)
I thought the wind might shift the mist - and it did eventually as I'd complete a circuit of Ogden Water.
A Little Owl was very, very pleasing to pull out of the gloom, soon after I'd left the house.
The farm track revealed a Goldcrest, calling very loudly.
I did eyeball it but not for long before it went for cover.
I hung about a bit but I could not relocate it.
The light at Ogden Water was very, very poor.
The usual Small Gulls were present as far as I could make out.
Later, chatting to B.S. on the prom. he mentioned that there was a 2nd winter Herring Gull here as well.
After B.S. left 2 Cormorant circled overhead a couple of times.
The walk home was 'good exercise'.
Stacks of Gulls passed overhead, heading NNW - presumably to the Oxenhope Roost.
I even had a detour to Bradshaw Park, in the dark, to see if anything might be lurking there - sad or what?
It's that time of the year ... hope I get another good joke book for Christmas - like last year!
You just can't beat 'em.
Especially on a day like today!
Bradshaw Village
I sure there was a Goldcrest here - but I can't find it!
At least I've found it in this photo
Can't turn it it a Firecrest though
Very poor visibility - Arriving at Ogden Water
Things got way, way worse.
Ok the focus may be a tad incorrect on this one.
2 very distant Cormorant
Sky full of Gulls on my way home
Quite pleased with the amount of light in this photo.
16:00 and it was black as sin in reality.
