Leeshaw /Ogden/Soil Hill Watchpoint.

                                    Low Tide at Leeshaw

                                         More shore than water
                                                 Ogden Cormorant

A bright, red sunrise morning with a stiff SW>4 but clouded over by 0700hrs and the wind increasing.

Leeshaw was again quiet on the water and shore line but plenty vis mig from the start with Meadow Pipits and Swallow piling through ahead of the coming weather front.

+ usual sp.

Ogden held around 150 Black Headed gulls on the water + 1 Cormorant and the usual Mallards with Willow Warblers still around passerine alley but no Goldcrest although by now the wind had increased making it hard to pick birds out.

By the time I got to Soil Hill watchpoint the wind had increased to SSW> 7 leaving several Meadow Pipits blogging in the goose field along with one distant Wheatear on the wall.
