You,ll have to make do with a bit of Flora today as thats all there was.
Ogden.
A disappointing morning due to several factors this morning. Firstly I avoided Fly Flatts because of the big bike race, only to find it came down to Ogden and up Back Lane. Secondly the weather, specking to start with at 0730hrs then low cloud followed by heavy rain turning torrential. And thirdly the ignoramouses walking round Ogden with dogs off the lead letting them run down the now well exposed banking and into the reservoir. They seem to find it amusing to see their beloved pet chasing a Heron or ducks, no wonder there are no waders.
On a good note, the Kingfisher flew across the overflow giving me my one hundredth local species this year.
Otherwise things were deadly quiet, what a contrast to yesterday evening at Leeshaw about a mile and a half away.
