Ogden & Kirkby Lonsdale earlier in the week.

12:15

I had a nosey around Ogden woodland and a quick tour of the water before granddaughter duties today.

It was a dull cloudy day with a stiff NW breeze blowing across the golf course.

Where is summer?

On and around  the water.

1 LBBG, 1 BHG, 12 Canada Goose.

A young Mallard family being eyeballed by a Heron.

2 Willow Warbler, 4 Chiffchaff, Elusive Blackcap, 4 Goldfinch.

Around the woodland

It was disappointingly quiet in the wood with very little birdsong.

I took the bridle path towards Withens, and after a good nosey for Tree Pipit - not sure if I got any though, however there were plenty of Pipits collecting food. I left the path at the second stile on the right, and did a loop of the woods before returning back to the water.

A few lively Chaffinch were in the trees near the bridleway. They were catching flies from the lower tree branches by the looks of it. I thought for a moment I’d got Pied Flycatcher but soon came back to earth.

A good few Wren were about and a Curlew was calling from the moors and that was all folks.

Kirkby Lonsdale.

We had a day out earlier in the week at Kirkby Lonsdale on a very wet day.

See if you can tell which pics are Ogden and which are K.L.
