Chaffinch fall at Ogden
A good fall of Chaffinch
Down the overflow, good for Dipper and Kingfisher.
05/04/2010 0815-0945hrs Strong SSW > 5 Horizontal rain and Drizzle, Real Bank Holiday stuff.
Needless to say, things were quiet with Chaffinch being the dominant bird. An obvious overnight fall seemed to fill the trees with them, many singing around the edge of the reservoir.
No moving birds recorded in empty skies.
38 Chaffinch
1pr Goldeneye
11 Stock Dove in field with 15 Woodpigeons.
+ usual sp.
