The Breeding Season

As from now until the end of the breeding season birds of a sensitive nature will be omitted from this blog due to a small percentage of undesirables who take their pleasure from egg collecting, nest destroying and the killing and trapping of birds.
Reports of non breeding birds moving through the area will still be published. BS

Ogden, Sunday morning blues

Heron take off

Kestrel

Off fishing

1 of 2 Common Sandpipers

An early morning visit to Fly Flatts was quickly aborted due to thick fog so back to Ogden which was just below the cloud base but terrible conditions with heavy horizontal drizzle in a strong NNW>5 and occasion heavy rain showers.
The water was empty other than 12 Canada geese and about a dozen Mallard with a Heron on the shoreline along with 2 Common Sandpipers. Willow Warblers and Robins were singing and 1 Garden Warbler showed itself briefly whilst 5 LBBs went overhead >SW.
Typical Tern moving weather this morning but not for me.

12 Canada Geese
6 Willow Warblers
1 Garden Warbler
2 Common Sandpiper
1 Heron
5 LBB gulls >SW
+ usual sp.
