Ogden - Soil Hill - Bradshaw

A much improved day today and it was breezy and dry this afternoon as I walked around Ogden Water.

I enjoyed a good laugh in the cafe there with the volunteers and Margret and her mountain bike dreams!

After a coffee and a KitKat I headed home via Ned Hill Lane,  Soil Hill (Main Path) and Taylor Lane.

Soil Hill was very windy but otherwise it was OK - the wind however kept birds at bay.

A few birds came and went , still waiting for some different Wildfowl to grace Ogden Water.

Quiz:

Who played Private Ryan in the film Saving Private Ryan?

Birds:

Kingfisher. (Caught what looks like a stickleback).

c20 Small Gulls.

15 or so Herring Gulls.

2 Treecreeper.

3 Goldcrest.

5 Long Tailed Tit.

2 Kestrel.

The only bird on Soil Hill Top was a solitary Fieldfare that flushed as I reached the top.

1 Common Gull was on the covered reservoir.

c15 Common Gulls with Rooks along Taylor Lane.

Little Owl - Bradshaw Lane.

Earlier I had a very distant look at Mixenden Reservoir from the top road, nothing large on the water.
