Ogden, evening visit.
A once round Ogden this evening provided nothing other than the norm but it got my legs functioning again after 2 days of sitting in a classroom.
Over at the Leeds testing station today around 100+ House Martins were over the area and landing on wires above the fields whilst several Swallows were moving through >S early on this morninmg. By lunch time only a handful of House Martins were left.
Ogden this evening held around 250 gulls, mainly Black Headed with about 20% Common and 3 LBBs. The Little Grebe was still present along with one Tufted and 1 Grey Heron. Swallows were moving well >SW over Ned Hill.
Has anyone had a Sept Swift yet ?

You get your postings on in smart time Bri - no housework to do tonight then!!!
After a struggle to find nesting House Martins this year there seem to be plenty moving through with a lot at Mixenden Res and the valley up to Ogden this week and over Lee Mount today. The Swift caused quite a stir in our household as it passed over at 4 pm (we spent all afternoon looking for them as we sat out in the garden thinking about all the jobs to do!
What a leisurely life you lead over there at Lee Mount. Well spotted anyway.
