Goldeneyes saved the day
OGDEN. Dense fog and heavy drizzle, SE>3 increasing >5 and clearing fog leaving a grey misty morning.
A real miserable morning with poor weather and sloppy snow and mud underfoot but as I say, something usually turns up to save the day and this was in the form of a cracking pair of Goldeneye which were much more obliging to the camera than usual.
Two Canadas were on the water which are my first geese of the year and Redwings were leaving their roost in the trees and heading for the fields. Mallard numbers were up this morning and a single Pied Wagtail was on the waters edge but didnt want its photo taking.
So what started off feeling like a waste of time turned out ok but these type of mornings are usually the ones that turn up the megas.
Just hoping now that the low cloud shifts by late p.m. so I can have another dabble.
4 Redwing
1pr Goldeneye
83 Mallard
