A mixed bag of weather today, mild with sunny periods then heavy thundery downpours.
I had a look outside late morning during a heavy downpour and a Red Kite drifted over - nice!!
This afternoon I got togged up and made the short drive over to Ogden and my timing was purr-feck missing all the nasty, noisy wet stuff.
That's not like me at all, I normally get drenched!
Birds:-
Red Kite - nice garden tick.
Mistle Thrush on a pylon.
A slow walk around the Ogden Water and some decent scanning of the amazing amount of shoreline did not reveal a lot, alas.
The usual Gulls were down in numbers to my last visit.
1 Tufted Duck, 2 Cormorant.
4 Great Spotted Woodpecker (3 heard and 1 seen).
2 Grey Wagtail.
Goldcrest.
Treecreeper.
Bullfinch and Chaffinch together.
Nuthatch, Chiffchaff.
and a few other species.
Loads of birds contact calling around the circuit but I didn't see many of 'em.
A Peregrine was seen earlier.
