Good gull moving day but not for Ogden

             Too much water coming off the moor
                         Bogey bird at last, Grey Wagtail




A deteriorating day after a decent morning heavy showers developed all afternoon and into the early evening though temperatures were well up.
LBB gulls were moving well all pm with 2 seperate movements, one lot moving low and all >NE and the second lot very high and >NW. The high birds were just dots in the sky and the first one I saw I thought it was a raptor soaring slowly over till I rushed in the garage and grabbed the camera seeing from the zoomed in photo that it was a gull.
This prompted me to visit Ogden tonight despite the torrential showers but the place was gull less. Water was at an all time high gushing down the overflow, even the wall was brought down with the force of the water coming off the moor.
Apart from the usual Mallards and Canadas  all was quiet but as I was coming away a single Grey Wagtail dropped in briefly giving me time for a few quick snaps before someone came on with a dog and by the time that and my 3 had stopped erupting the Wagtail was gone. Grey Wagtail has been a bit of a bogey bird for me last year and this, when at one time it was a common sight.
