Ogden to Bradshaw (Little Egret)

We had a visit to Bingley St. Ives late morning for a walk with friends.

Afterwards we had a late lunch in Wetherspoons, Bingley.

Sue dropped me at Ogden on our way home so I could enjoy some birding time.

Not much happening at St. Ives, although it was not a birding outing.

Not much happening at Ogden either with a brisk cold wind here.

Approaching the top (north) end of the water, and after  a chance gorpe over the fence / xmas tree hedge, I  noticed an ungainly white duck hidden by trees, with 2 Mallard.

The ungainly Duck flushed and morphed into a Little Egret once I could see it properly.

I got a few poor photos as it flew west low over the water before leaving north.

A scarce bird for Ogden, so I was quiet pleased to see it.

Birds:-

Little Egret.

c20 Black Headed, 1 Common and c12 Herring Gulls at one point.

(Gulls coming and going throughout the walk, mostly seen at distance in poor light).

2 Raven.

Stock Dove.

2 Little Owl.

Not a bad do!!

St Ives:-



1 of 2 Lesser Black-backed Gull.
