A now, whats come to be the norm, lousy sunday morning with early fog and mist and horizontal drizzle blown across with a W>5 only to be replaced mid morning with heavy rain.
A once round Ogden reservoir produced very little other than 2 m Goosander >E and a single f Goldeneye was on the water along with 2 LBB gulls and a scattering of Commons and Black Headeds.
The winter Mallard flock has now got to around 180.
We,re sure to get one good Sunday morning out of the two thats left this year, are,nt we?
