Ogden in the rain, rain, rain a Poor Do.(& RF Later on)


Typical bank holiday weather saw me retracing my steps in search of the Redstart  I'd possibly seen on Thursday. Only a couple of Robins having a barney in the area (maybe one of these was disguised as a Redstart earlier)?

During the search a Kestrel flew West over the Golf Course and Curlew were calling. Another brief sighting of a deer brought to 3, my deer sightings in 3 outings – maybe I should take up deering or drawing tractors for the Granddaughter?

Not a lot else about, the usual Willow Warblers singing but relatively few Chiffchaff heard. 
A Heron was skulking at the edge of the water.
The highlight of a rather poor show was 2 Drake and 1 Tuffed Duck on the water.

Also seen Meadow & Tree Pipit and a M. Pheasant with the usual sp.
16:35
A quick scoot up to Raggalds Flood.

Couple Pied Wagtail, a few Woodpigeon, 4 or 5 Male Mallard crouched in the grass, a starling or two.
A solitary Swallow feeding low to the ground and a single Lapwing plus some nosy cows.
A good supply of water.

  1. Good to get 3 Tufted on Ogden, no sign this evening but only looked down from the top of the moor, through the rain of course.
    Nice tractor, just needs a bit of wind in the back tyre.
