Ogden, beware of flying ants.

Usual 2 LBBs, these birds could possibly be stuffed ?

Plenty juvs, no black hoods left.

Just when you thought the weather was getting good the nasty hot stuff comes back and puts the damper on things.
Ogden tonight was red hot with swarms of people and worse still swarms of flying ants although the BHGs seemed to enjoy darting around after them.
Around 250 Black Headed were present along with the 2 normal LBBs and only 1 Common gull.
By 1830 the BHGs were trickling away towards Mixenden leaving a few on the edge of the west shoreline.
The female Tufted was still present but no appearance from the Moorhen.
