Soggy Ogden

A run out early morning to Knaresborough to look at the shops / cafes turned into a real damp affair with heavy rain for the most part.

At least I had a bonus of a Red Kite flying near Huby spotted by Sue on our return journey.

15:45(ish)

A late afternoon visit to Ogden also turned into a real damp affair with rain for the most part and unusually strong gusty winds from time to time.

A bit of a fruitless outing with the weather keeping the smaller birds away until just at going home time 16:45 the rain stopped for a while and birdsong from Chaffinch and Great Tit could be heard.

There were a few small gulls in the air and on the water, the Mallard population was hunched up near the feeding area and there were 3 LBBG (one Juv. by the looks of it) taking turns on the podium.

Nice to see I was not the only one braving the weather with a chance meeting with NK.

Ah well can’t snap a Snow Bunt every day.

A few awesome pics!
