Ogden Woods a.m. / Local Fields p.m.

 Ogden Woods:

A long walk through Ogden Woods this morning hoping for a rarer Warbler , but not a sniff.

A Cuckoo called early on , from the east, confirmed by NK who I met later.

A Reed Bunting was west of the reservoir house.

Lots of bird Song throughout the walk.

Blackcap, Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff and Song Thrush singing.

Just Mallard on the water.

Humid today.

Local Fields:
