13:30 – 15:00
Granddaughter
day so a quick outing around Ogden.
A hot sultry
day.
A decent
start to the walk with 3 Cormorant spotted on the water and an adult GCG and the
Juv. GCG.
Things went
downhill very soon, when on a quick stroll towards the golf club, a nasty
insect with enormous sticky-out teeth and an even nastier demeanour decided to fly up
the sleeve of my tee-shirt. Without a map showing it the way to get back out, it decided upon warfare. A few stings
later though and I had sent it packing to the insect graveyard in the sky.
Back at the
water I spotted only the usual gulls and no waders (but see NK blog today for a far better report).
Other
birds:- Swallow, Mistle Thrush, Chiffchaff, Coal tit, Dunnock.
Feeling a
bit sore and with storm clouds massing I sent for the cavalry (the wife and granddaughter)
and high-tailed it out of there.
Just as well 10 mins later Bradshaw Lane
turned brown with a river running down it!
Pics:-
Shy Dunnock - clutching at straws this aft.
Lucky you missed the rain John.
ReplyDeleteI dont think my report is better, just different as in what a difference an hour or so can make.
