Ogden, evening visit

Sun going down

Song Thrush

They dont look like they want to play !

Ogden, early evening walk along the east fringe of the wood to the edge of the clough. Sunny but strong W>4-5.
As expected, it being the wrong time of the day, no Spotted Flycatchers were found although the track was alive with Chaffinch , Robins and Dunnocks. Several Swallows and House Martins were feeding on the edge of the moor and Swifts piled over >W.
A Cuckoo was calling across the valley from way up the clough and a Green Woodpecker called teasingly from close by without being visible.
A singing Tree Pipit was on the northern tip of the wood and a Golden Plover called from up near the Giants Tooth.
LBB gulls were on the move >W along with 1 Black Headed.
Target birds missed tonight were Spotted Fly, Cuckoo, Grey Wagtail, believe it or not and Tawny Owl although Tawny owl and me are not compatible and all I seem to manage is a fly past at night when Im in the car.

1 Song Thrush
1 Tree Pipit
1 Cuckoo, heard only
28 Swift >W
1 Green Woodpecker
15 LBBs >W
1 BH gull >W
Several swallows, House Martins
+ usual sp.
A quick check on the water found it void of birds.
