A rapidly deteriorating morning starting off grim and ending up atrocious, normal Sunday stuff.
Even in the wind and rain Ogden is starting to sound like spring with bird song in the air, even a Song Thrush was up singing.
The water was deserted other than a low count of Mallard for this time of year and 1 BH Gull was in amongst them.
Several tit flocks were mobile with Goldcrests mixed in and a small flock of Siskin headed towards the Giants tooth.
A reward came with a call from a Nuthatch followed by a quick glimpse as it dived for cover near the feeder below the car park, ( its alright for you Denise, you can watch them from the comfort of your own home, Ive to stand in the pouring rain for a quick glimpse of a tail).
Just hoping now for a miracle weather recovery for late afternoon so I can get another stab at it but Im not holding my breath.
4 Siskin
3 Goldcrest
1 Song Thrush
38 Mallard

About time Song Thrush turned up, I haven't recorded one this year yet.
This was in the usual place above the info office. Possibly the same bird as last year?
Sunday afternon was a bit of a disater as well. I did have a trip to High Royd but it just got wetter and wetter as the afternoon went on.
