The temperature caught me out as well, with a big woolly jumper given the sack for most of the outing.
15:10 - 17:10
Sue dropped me at Ogden and I started with a look up Back Lane for CK's Redstart or an Owl or 3 but came up blank.
The heavens opened and the walk to and around the water was a tad unpleasant with not much happening.
2 Lesser Black-backed Gulls were about it.
The usual Willow Warblers and Tits but not a lot else seen on the way to the Golf Course.
The walk along the golf course track is always enjoyable with lots of different shades of foliage.
A good few Pipits (mostly in trees) were all Meadow Pipits.
Mippits - LBJ's but very, very pretty birds when you look closely at them.
A Whitethroat was singing, out of sight, as I passed the maintenance building on the way up the track.
It was still singing later and did shown itself briefly.
A Song Thrush and a few Long Tailed Tits were knocking about.
On the way home a Greenfinch and 4 or so House Martin were high over Pavement Lane.
As I got to the door a Buzzard was being mobbed by crows but vanished behind the houses before I could get its mug shot.
Nice to be out and about.
A few pics:-
Whitethroat - best I could do!
