Ogden, well worth the soaking.

Few Common in with the Black Headed
Oyks on the move

Ogden.  0730-1000hrs.  Heavy rain early on turning to horizontal drizzle throughout. SW>5
Fly Flatts was fogged out with low cloud base so a quick change of venues which proved to be a good move. A good collection of gulls ,mosty black headed with several juvs in with them. 3 adult common were present and a 2nd year bird. 4 Oystercatchers were on the shoreline but very mobile later joined by another 2. When they all took off west an undetected Dunlin was in amongst them. A Common Tern came through from the south, dipped in the water once then off north towards Oxenhope, unfortunately DCB had not quite arrived at his watchpoint when I rang him.  An early movement of Meadow Pipits was probably the birds reported grouping yesterday at Oxenhope.
