Ogden Water

I had an hour at Ogden this afternoon - a circuit of the water.

The 'islands' have 'gone into liquidation' and the reservoir, although still quite empty, is receiving some juice from various points along the way.

A pleasant, clear afternoon with some sun and little wind.

Lots of bird calls from the surrounding trees and bushes but few sightings.

Birds:-

3 Cormorant. (one very dark bird).

Long Tailed Tits.

1 Nuthatch.

Goldcrests.

Only a few Chaffinch seen along the east side.

1 Goosander.

Canada Geese.

1 Treecreeper - very flighty!

c100 Black Headed Gulls.

c50 Lesser Black-backed Gulls

9 Herring Gulls.

12 Common Gulls.

Chiffchaff calling.

My sky watch this morning  for DJS's Pinkies , failed alas.
