Ogden to Bradshaw

16:20 - 18:15

The usual walk this afternoon - good timing with the weather - no rain but very windy.

It was good to see a large party of small birds as I went along the west side circuit of Ogden Water.
60 or so birds in all I reckon, included Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Chaffinch and at least one small Warbler, probably a Chiffchaff.

Interesting to see Black Headed Gulls hovering in the strong wind picking berries from a bush near the bread lobbers area.

Other birds:-

The usual Gulls here.
2 Cormorant, 2 Kestrel, Swallow.
Little Grebe.

A noisy contingent of Common and Black Headed Gulls were  opposite the Moorlands Inn as I walked home.
