Ogden / Leeshaw

13:50 Ogden

With DJS's report of a Kittiwake earlier today ....

I thought I'd check out a couple of reservoirs this aft.

First up, in this awful weather, was Ogden - where not-a-lot was happening!

A couple of Canada Geese with the Mallards (no sign of the Tufties).

9 Goosander present as far as I could tell.

They were well spread about on a choppy reservoir.

A couple of Goldcrest and a Robin seen on a soggy circuit.

15:00 Leeshaw.

Bloody awful weather here. 
A near gale and driving rain with nothing discernable on the ocean waves.

I got out of the car then .............. got back in the car again.

C50 Canada's and 30 Greylag Geese were sheltering in the fields with 5 or so large gulls.

Risking being identified as a right old plonker , I've taken a stab at identifying some of  the Gulls on some of the photies.

Ogden's Goosanders:
