Ogden last light.


                                  Gulls moving off in fading light.
                                                      Heres the reason why. Sparrowhawk
An after tea visit to Ogden got me there just in time for the torrential shower and light already beginning to fade but nice to get out after a day in the garage.
Pre roost gull numbers are rising with c 160 small gulls, 70% being BHGs and 30% Commons on the water but a fly past of the local Sparrowhawk lifted them up leaving >S.
The Cormorants had already left to roost so other than Mallard the water was void of bird life.
18 Swallows flew over >S and 2 Grey Wagtails flew high over the info centre >SW but this could have been the resident pair.
Will give Ogden a better look at tomorrow late afternoon hopefully and check out some of these Robins for continentals.
About another week now and evening birding will be lost to the dark nights.
