Started the day with a viewing of the eclipse of the sun which they said was life changing to watch but it did,nt change mine, I,d still a shop full of cars to mend.
Dinner time dash took me on a Wheatear hunt checking Raggalds Flood, Roper Lane and Old Guy Rd to no avail.
The flood held 5 Lapwing, 2 of which were holding territory.
Roper Lane and Old Guy Rd produced Skylarks and Meadow Pipits.
After a rushed tea it was throw the dogs in the car and get to Ogden before the daylight went.
Very quiet on the water with the usual Mallards and 1 BH Gull although 3 rarer visitors with a pair of Tufted duck and 1 Greylag goose.
Several LBBs were moving overhead >N to roost.
Hope you all have a stonking weekend.
