Bradshaw - Ogden - Ned Hill - Soil Hill - Bradshaw

14:10 - 17:30

An afternoon's local birding with a walk through the Bradshaw Farms to Ogden, one circuit of the water then up the grunt, up the oblique , and along Percy, down Taylor home.

I found climbing  Ned Hill Road tough for some reason today.

Still plenty of shoreline at Ogden with many, many Gulls mostly Black Headed c150 - and  Lesser Black-backed -  c70 a few Common and Herring Gulls.

I've taken lots of photos of the Gulls - one day - yes one day I'll find a cracker (probably around early November).

Birds:-

1 Swallow.

Goldcrest.

Jay (1st in a while).

220 plus Gulls.

2 Tufted Duck.

2 Cormorant.

1 Goosander

c30 Chaffinch (along the east side shoreline - very flighty).

c50 Meadow Pipit (30 in one flock along Taylor Lane).

2 Kestrel.

1 Chiffchaff.

1 Willow Warbler.

8 Pheasant all together in a Taylor Lane field.

2 Wheatear.

1 Buzzard (Hovering over Soil Hill - seen from Syke Lane)y

Stock Dove.
