Ogden to Bradshaw.

My usual outing again today, with an enjoyable afternoon walk round Ogden water, returning home via the farm track and field footpaths.

An overcoat colder today but after a visit to the dentist this morning the cold was welcome. 

A tad more SE breeze and not just as misty today. 

Not much happening, bird wise, although the high dark tree canopies most probably held a secret or two!

After a circuit of the water, and a Twix and coffee in the "café" , I  went back along the east side path to check through the Chaffinch again - although there were very few on the waterside stones and they were - all Chaffinch!

Getting dark as I went through the farms where a Barn Owl flew out mobbed by two Magpies. 

Lots of Magpies here - love 'em or hate 'em they are survivors - me I don't like 'em much.
