Ogden

A pretty lousy morning with thick misty stuff and that fine drizzle that wets you through.

The afternoon improved a bit, so I drove over to Ogden water to have a nosy about.

It was good to bump into DJB there and we did a circuit of the water.

Bits of nuisance drizzle came and went as we went around.

C50 Gulls at the outset but a lot fewer when we came to leave.

Just a smaller camera with me today and photos were not easy to come by.

Birds;-

The 'usual' finch species  - although DJB recognised more species by call than I ever could!

Numerous Goldcrest were checked out.

A Goosander in the drink was nice to see.

8 Lapwing over head.

2 Bullfinch were at the far end of the prom  and a small flock of Siskin flew from here across to distant trees.

A Buzzard was being mobbed by crows.

A few Treecreeper were seen and a few more heard.
