Bradshaw - Ogden Water - Bradshaw

10:15 - 14;15

I hung around at home a bit this a.m. hoping the weather might buck it's ideas up.
Things seem to brighten a bit as I set off on a dull, damp walk across the fields to Ogden Water.
I did Two laps and had two coffee breaks and then another chat reminiscing with NK who I met briefly along the way.
Another very poor birding day but at least I got me boots on.

Yesterday's weather was so poor,that to beat the boredom, I went shopping at Tesco (Yippee) and then - excitement personified - defrosted the freezer bit of my big fridge - wowser.

Looks like rain, snow and strong winds for tomorrow - I know - tomorrow I'll beat the boredom - I'll get the vac out!
