Ogden - Foul a.m - No Fowl p.m.

Awful weather this morning with heavy rain and gale force winds.

Things improved a bit later with the rain slackening off a bit but it remain very windy.

I had a drive over to Ogden after lunch where the cafe was closed which was no surprise given the weather.

Rain and wind here at first but it dried up staying windy.

Not a lot on the water and even the bread lobbing area was bereft of Mallard with the Mallards here and there along the way.

I had 2 laps of the water today (which I spat out ugh! ) before some half decent birds did show up.

A Dipper in the promenade sluice area was being mobbed by a Kingfisher (unless the swimming Dipper was bringing tiddlers to the Kingfisher 's attention)?

Any way it was as black as sin looking down there today.

I went home via Raggalds where there was a small flood but no inhabitants.

The water will probably have gone by tomorrow.
