Ogden to Bradshaw

A circuit of Ogden Water this afternoon, home via Crabtree Hall Farm path and local fields.

Another long gawp along the waters edge as I went along, for the Common Sandpiper, failed to locate it.

c80 Large Gulls included a few Herring Gulls.

c50 Black Headed Gull. 

8 Cormorant.

A distant Duck species looks like a Female Tufted Duck with 3 young, but I could be wrong?

I sometimes struggle to identify myself whilst looking in the mirror!

2  frequently calling Buzzards were seen over the NW trees - probably Juvenile birds.

Another, very distant, calling (not seen) juvenile bird, a bit further along was possibly a Sparrowhawk.

Also heard (not seen) a Raven.

A few common species calling from the track side hedges / trees was about all for Ogden.

1 Swallow - very poor year locally for Swallow.

Kestrel, Mistle Thrush,

32 Canada Geese in the fields.



Possible Candidate for Y.L. Gull


Tufted Duck with young.
