Ogden

I drove over to park near Ogden water mid-afternoon today.

The weather was unpleasant with regular showers blown along by a stiff wind.

I did just one circuit of the water which was enough with just the usual birds on offer.

(No Y.L. Gull as far as I could tell).

To say the weather was poor there were quite a lot of visitors going around.

Keeping the camera dry is a bit of a nuisance but it is always good to get out from behind my 4 walls!

On the plus side there is plenty of shore line - checking it out , though , can be difficult in places.

Small Gulls have returned to the Bonnet fields seen as I had a couple miles exercise walk up to the Raggalds and around Percy Road etc. this morning.

Birds:

2 Cormorant.

c120 Lesser Black-backed Gull.

c60 Black Headed Gull.

c10 Herring Gull.

2 Heron.

1 Great Crested Grebe.

1 Tufted Duck.

Mallard.

Canada Geese.

Coal Tit.

and a few others.
