Oxenhope

Confined to barracks
Male Goldeneye digiscoped from a great distance.

Oxenhope pm visit. 1500-1615hrs. Heavy rain throughout, SW>4-5 mist rolling in.

Well the weather didnt improve from this morning, in fact it got worse but needed to get out before work tomorrow so headed for the hide. Conditions inside were,nt much better with the rain coming straight through the window opening and onto the scope lens.
The water was again void of gulls although a few Commons circled over and took a quick look before moving off again. Goldeneye were the bird of the day with 3 females and 1 male whilst 2 male Goosander sheltered on the SW banking. 7 Mistle Thrush were on the wires and 2 Grey Partridge ran across sand pit area.
DCB was just arriving as I was leaving and on hearing my report and seeing the conditions he too decided to abort.
