A mid-afternoon run out to Ogden and it looked like I was going to get well
soaked with heavy rain greeting me as I left the house.
I did OK though with just spots of rain as I went around the circuit.
Going along the West side I managed to eyeball a distant Widgeon as It sailed sway east and then I lost sight if it.
DJB came over to have a look and the Widgeon was kind enough to appear near the feeding area for him , while he was close by on the Prom!
I, meanwhile continued around the circuit, eventually meeting DJB on the prom. The Widgeon by
this time has sailed off to a distant west side coastline!!
Still, this is a good bird for Ogden making my trip worthwhile and one photo is 'ok' given the distance and the light.
Other Birds:-
2 Goldcrest seen ... probably a lot more given the calls nearby.
3 Siskin, high, landed in the woods.
Long Tailed Tit.
Kingfisher.
A Buzzard was over Syke Lane, seen from the car on my way home.
A better outing than of late.
(A Kestrel was over Bradshaw Lane this a.m.).
Plus 2 poor photos taken out and about this morning.
First bird is probably a Crow, don't know about the 2nd bird?
My laptop is nagging me to install Windows 11 but I have resisted so far - I guess I'll have to bite
the bullet soon.
