The rain abated a bit and I managed a look up Ogden Back Lane and an Ogden circuit, with just bits of drizzle.
The path was very waterlogged in places.
Birds:
In comparison to last times visit with lots of birdsong today there was very few birds singing.
c20 Small Gulls far out on the water with a Sub-adult Lesser Black-backed Gull.
Gulls were passing continually overhead.
c30 Meadow Pipit airborne over Syke Lane.
A Dipper was feeding in the sluice area.
A long look for the Kingfisher, here, failed to locate it but I did see it fly into the north end bushes later.
A Tufted Duck remained asleep on the water.
Passerine alley had a few Blackbird and Robin a Chaffinch and a Willow Warbler.
Attempts to get the camera to focus on the Willow Warbler were frustrating with the poor light and the frequently moving bird.
A Green Woodpecker called loudly from Back Lane area and there were a good few Meadow Pipits flitting about here, also.
Good to get out and about on a grim day.
Lots of water coming in.
